Gynae referral

I have been waiting since November for a referral back to gynae to investigate if I have endometriosis. I'm really struggling to cope with the symptoms I get every month. I've contacted my GP again and there is nothing they can do to speed along my referral. I'm also concerned that even once I'm seen by gynae I migh...

Placenta previa question

I was diagnosed at my 20 weeks anatomy scan with placenta previa. My OBGYN did not even call me with the result. I brought it up at my monthly appointment at 24weeks that my scan showed placental previa and should I be concerned since I was spotting. He said oh I didn’t see that, and then read the report and said ye...

Big baby!

Hi ladies, I had my growth scan today. Last growth scan baby was growing as normal, this time round I was told she’s at the 97th percentile due to my GD! I’m very petite and I don’t know whether that relates to anything, but I don’t know about vaginally birthing a big baby. I was told if she stays on the 97th per...

12 week scan, not to plan!

We had our 12 week scan today, and it was amazing to see our little bean but unfortunately was not able to get any screening. Baby was not cooperating and despite walking around and having a chocolate bar, the position meant that they could not screen and I won’t get any screening apart from the DS blood test in a ...

Uterine artery doppler

I'm 22 weeks pregnant and today went for a uterine artery doppler (due to having pre eclampsia with my first son) which confirmed "PI is raised" which translates to the placenta isn't functioning as well as it should be so I'm at further risk of pre term birth/developing pre eclampsia again and having a small baby. ...

# of Sonograms

I just moved from Colorado to Oklahoma and in Colorado for my first pregnancy I received a decent amount of ultrasounds which I was glad because it made me worry less. Now I’m in Oklahoma pregnant with my second and they are saying I only get two ultrasounds the whole pregnancy? This is weird to me because do I not ...
