Who’s got their 1st scan
Who’s got their 1st scan this week 🥰 mines not for another 2 weeks the wait is killing me I just want to see bubba 🥺🥰
Girl or boy?
Just for fun / interest as we already know the gender from NIPT testing 🤣 what do you think?! 13+1, the ultrasound tech said she could also tell already!
I know these don't seem to be very clear 🙃
But iv 3 different scans here if anyone can see more than I can ?? 🤔🤭 ...
Measuring small
Has anyone else had any experience with being referred to fetal medicine as last growth scan showed babies femur bone is on the small side so been referred for more in depth scans? Im not sure what type of advice I'm looking for maybe some reassurance or just some info on how the appointment usually goes I'm 30 wee...
Questions for midwives
Hey, I've had a few issues where my midwives missed something and I just want to make sure I check everything at my next appointment in late May when I'll be about 27 weeks. They've never measured me and did miss having my blood type (I've sorted as I need an anti -D jab) but have checked heart beat and done urine t...
Extra growth scans
Hello! Is anyone undergoing extra growth scans for a small measuring baby? I'm 28 weeks today. Went in for reduced movement a couple weeks back (all fine now, baby had just changed into a funky position!) and they ended up doing a growth scan to be safe. Found out our little one is measuring small so I'm going in fo...
28 week midwife appointment
Had my 28 week midwife appointment today where they measured my bump , baby is measuring on the 90th percentile… has anyone else had a 90th percentile baby & are they accurate. Now worried my babies going to be massive 🤣🫣
Booking appointment
Does anyone know if they do a scan at the booking appointment? I’ve read such conflicting information but would really like to have a scan so I can see little one
Growth scan
Just out of curiosity what was everyone’s baby weighing at 35/36 weeks and what centile?
Boy or girl?
Of course just for fun, 20 week scan is in a couple of weeks now but nub theory got me so curious to see if anyone can take a guess
Fundal height.
Man, oh man. So, I usually have big babies but, I’ve been so proud of myself because at my 20 week, 24 week, and during my echo a few weeks after, she was measuring always in the 50th percentile via ultrasound. However, three weeks after my last appt, the doctor said she was measuring around 33 weeks. I’m so upset b...
Big baby
Just had a growth scan at 35+3 and baby is 94th centile measuring 7 pounds 2. They’re making me feel like my baby is going to be a giant??? ‘It’s on the bigger side’. I don’t have GD or preeclampsia or anything - feeling normal. I’m also having an elective C. Anyone else in this boat? What are the risks of having a ...
Can Ultrasounds Be Wrong About Baby’s Size?
Just wondering.. has anyone had a baby estimated to be average-sized on both their 32 and 36 week ultrasounds, but ended up delivering a bigger baby (around 4 kg / 9 lbs)? I have such a strong feeling this baby will be big but the scans are putting them right around the 50th percentile. My first was large (nearl...
Not had the result for the combined test I had at my 12 weeks scan.
I had the blood test for the combine test (one that test for down syndrome and Edwards) at my 12 week scan. It was the Thursday before the Easter weekend, so I know that would have slowed it down. But I haven't heard anything. I know no news is good news but surely I should have had the result by now? I am 15 weeks ...

Help ❤️
I’m thinking of booking an early scan but my boyfriend’s been a dick about it 😔 I want to do it for reassurance but I want his support what do I do? 😩
32 week growth scan
I have a scan tomorrow 32 week one. What did your little ones weigh at 32 weeks?
12 Week Scan! 🥹
What do we think people- girl or boy?
Private scan recommendations
Can anyone recommend a place to have private scans locally? We want one at 10w due to the timing of telling our parents and therefore need one before the 12w NHS one.
Any advice?
I didn’t a clear blue test and it says 2-3 but I know it can not be accurate but from my last period I’d be 4-5 when do I book for an early scan? (I’m going to book private) I don’t want to book and it be too early and not see anything, any advice? 🤰🏻❤️
