Hi gals :) I'm 9+4 weeks with my first baby. I've had on and off anxiety about if everything is going okay! I've got my 12 week scan when I'm 13 weeks which still feels ages away. I just want it to be here and to be reassured! I'm worrying about MMC or potential ones and it's driving me crazy. I'm triple checking ev...

I had a gender scan yesterday but curious to see what everyone thinks? I’ve had two private scans one at 10 weeks and one at 15 and theyve both said the same gender but wanna see everyones opinions😜 waiting until my 20 week scan to be sure 😂😂 x

This is my 3rd pregnancy and its shocking how this time around have had little to no contact with my midwife. Had my first initial appointment at about 8 weeks. They” forgot” to book me in for the 16 week appointment. I had to find out about it on this app. They booked me in at 18 weeks. I am now 24 weeks and have ...

I have got a scan on Wednesday due to some mildly concerning symptoms and previous MMC. I will be dead on 11 weeks. I had my midwife appointment on Thursday so haven’t got my 12w scan letter yet. Both scans are supposed to be at the same hospital. Are they likely to cancel the 12w dating scan if everything is fine ...

I really want to book a private scan! All my symptoms are gone and I just feel so anxious! but my NHS 12 week scan is on the 30th April. Is this too close together?

I had a 15 week scan and was told I have a low lying placenta and this should move? Has anyone had this, read on google and it’s just scared me 🤦‍♀️🥹

Had a growth scan yesterday, baby is measuring 8lbs 7 which is still along the 50th centile for my height. Due a sweep next Wednesday but ideally hoping to go into labour before then. Anyone else pregnant and impatient now? 😫

I have no idea about the nub theory so not sure if this picture is any use. 12+6 weeks at this scan!

Would love to see your 4D scans if you guys have had them. I find them so sweet 🥹🥹 our baby boy today at 27 weeks 🫶🏼

Hi all - currently 5 weeks pregnant and over the moon. It was unplanned but we’re rolling with it as we had wanted to start trying later in the year anyway. We had booked our honeymoon to Thailand a few months before finding out about the pregnancy and I will be about 11 weeks when we travel. I'm quite worried about...

I’m currently having a low risk pregnancy, no issues have been come up at any point, I’m 31 weeks today. I have not had my belly measured, as it is not accurate. Especially with knowing that it won’t be the same midwife doing the measurements. Even the midwife I was talking to understand my reasons for declining. ...

I was just wondering how common it is for babies to measure ahead this early on. I’m only 4/5 days over, but it just seems a lot this early on. I tracked meticulously as I was ttc for a long time. I’ll chat to the midwife at our next apt, but am I getting a potentially getting a whopper 😂? Or is this just…

How often are people getting private scans? I had one at 6 weeks and now thinking I want another at 9 weeks. I don’t know if I can wait another 3 weeks till the NHS one!

Anyone who had growth scans, what did your baby weigh at 36 weeks and if you’ve had them how accurate was it? Been told baby was 7 pound 5oz at 36 weeks and so scared with how much more time she has to grow😫🤣.
