I am 2 weeks behind on getting my scan and have my 20W scan tomorrow. Do they take bloods again?

Hey so I went for an early scan and realised I was further on than I thought, so my 12 week scan on the 2nd June I will actually be 15 weeks, is it possible they would tell u the gender or do they only do it at the 20 week? Just before I book another private

So I’m going crazy I am 20 weeks and have been told the lady thinks it’s a boy however couldn’t see properly. But I had a gender scan at 15 weeks and 5 days and it said girl and have had a blood test earlier and that also said girl. Anyways here is the photo of my 15 week scan can anyone tell me if they think it loo...

Hi everyone ! I just found out 3 days ago that I’m 5 weeks pregnant with my first baby. Low key freaking out but excited😄My mom does ultrasound at an ER and I’m planning to go see her for some “pain” and reveal it to her 😅. I’m dying to tell her and have some advice. My first appointment with the doc is may 28. Im…

We've just had our 9-12m check and the health visitor mentioned that my daughter has asymmetrical creases in her thighs which can mean her legs are different lengths 😅 has anyone else had anything similar? For context, she was born footling breech meaning she had to have hip scans as a newborn to check for hip…

I’ve had my first scan today and what do we all think? I’m 12 weeks and 6 days, I think girl but I’m very 50/50

Had a private scan today even though I told myself I wouldn't this time around. So glad I did it has really put my mind at rest!

Hi all, just had my 20w scan and was told baby is measuring allegedly 4 days on the smaller side. They wanted to see my again next week for another scan. If I recall correctly this is not unheard off and quite a few women were told this and the baby ended up being fine? Share some positive stories please :) Shoul...

I just got my first scan appointment, which says it’s for first trimester, but by my calendar I will be nearly 17 weeks! Is this normal? Should I contact the hospital? I’m currently 7 weeks and have a private scan booked for this coming Monday

Went for 20 week scan and feel deflated / unsure if should be concerned. There was silence throughout and it took 45 mins (including an internal for cervical check). There was a doctor (who was still in training for at least the internal) and a consultant. They had already established I should return in 10 days...

I didn’t have a blood test at my 12 weeks scan she’s scan, everyone else that’s mentioned their 12 week scan mentioned a blood test. Is this normal?

Anyone nervous or was for the 6 week checkup I haven’t shaved down there bc I’m scared but I wanna shave for my appointment lmaoo what did y’all do?

I had a miscarriage in beginning of feb. I have a strong positive pregnancy test and a 3+ on clear blue. Had a scan today they could only see a sac and nothing inside. Has anyone had this and had a baby? Or what was the outcome please

I had my scan last week at 20+0 and HC is at 160.3 mm Google says ideal is 170.5mm at 20 weeks. I had a consultant do the scan for me as I was previously exposed to chicken pox.i am non -immune with no previous vaccinations.Didn't catch the virus myself but was exposed and ive been slacking off on my pregna care wit...

I had 3 to 4 days to bleeding nornal period amounts and since them been spotting every day(pink and dark brown blood) . Had a clearblue positve prega...

How accurate is an ultrasound tech determining the gender of babies? What’s your guys experience? Had my tech say he seen girl parts🤷🏼‍♀️, he’s leaning towards a girl from what he could see and I am as well, she was being picky about standing still but once she lied down on her back it was easier to see, he said to…

This is our 13 week scan and I’m so curious to know what everyone thinks my tiny baby is. I genuinely have no instinct!

I have my 20w scan next Wednesday. How do I cope with the anxiety and the nerves building up to it? I’ve been quite cool, calm and collected about it up until now.

I had my 36 week appointment yesterday and baby is below 10th percentile on the graph so need to have growth scan tomorrow. Anyone been through this at this stage too? Am I likely to be induced early or maybe baby is lying in a strange position?

Helloooo! Having a reassurance scan today. At 7+2. I am excited but it’s heavily shadowed by fear! I’m so nervous somethings wrong, I have no reason to think this. I haven’t bled at all and I still have symptoms but I just can’t shake the feeling somethings wrong! Helppp meee! Scan isn’t until 2:40 so gonna be a lon...
