Reduced movement but have a scan later today

This morning I’ve been up for a few hours already and I haven’t felt alot of movement. I’ve felt a few light taps but nothing strong but I don’t know whether to just wait as I have a scan at 3 later. I thought he was quiet yesturday too but I don’t know if I was just overthinking or not paying attention as I had a b...

10th percentile baby

Anyone else have or have had a baby sitting very low in the percentiles? My recent growth scan at 33 weeks showed my baby to just be sitting on the 10th percentile line when 2 weeks ago they were a bit above that line. I know these scans aren't necessarily the most accurate and my baby was moving a lot so she was st...

4D scan fail

Tried to do a 4D scan today but baby boy was not cooperating (he loves putting his feet in front of his face) has anyone else had to go back for a rescan and the second one came out great? Need some reassurance because if he doesn’t cooperate next time we’d have to pay again to see him and it’s too expensive to pay ...

Hey just wondering if anyone knows or has been told the same thing. Went for a private scan I’m currently 31 weeks and was told baby is head down and very low in my pelvis. Just wondering if this means baby could arrive early? Still have lots of things to get in place and slightly stressed I’m on a shorter time fra...

Scan

I’m only 4+5 tomorrow and dying for a scan to know everything is okay but I know it’s too early. Any tips to keep the anxiety at bay? I had a miscarriage just before falling pregnant again with this pregnancy!

Repeat anatomy scan

Did somebody had to repeat anatomy scan? Baby girl was in awkward position and wouldn’t move at all so all checks couldn’t be completed. Feeling anxious as first time pregnant, is this normal or does it mean something wrong with baby ?

What notes were added to your badger notes after your scan?

I had my scan 2 weeks ago and they’ve not put any info on the app. I’m wondering if it’s just me?

12 week scan

I had my 12 week scan today. I didn’t drink enough water and so they couldn’t see my baby as much as they wanted. They only managed to see hands, feet and heart beat. They said they couldn’t see the back of the neck of the baby so therefore they can’t do the abnormality tests. We are abit upset and disheartened this...

Am I crazy?

Hey girls, so.. I’m 18+3 and getting nervous I haven’t felt baby kick yet. My NHS scan isn’t til I’m 21 weeks but I only had a private scan at 16 weeks. Would I be crazy to book another scan for 19 weeks or shall I just try and wait it out? Private scan at 16 weeks told me I have a posterior placenta x

Big baby

I had a growth scan today at 32 weeks, 4 days. My sonographer said baby is measuring in 87th centile. I said well what does this mean? He said they’ll monitor it and I may have to go on a diet? Then I saw the consultant and she said everything looks in a normal range, that my body wouldn’t make a baby too big for me...

12 week scan?

This might be a really stupid question but I noticed some people on here already know the date of their scan - I’ve not heard anything yet. Do you just get booked in and informed of a date by your hospital? I have my first midwife appointment next week so I’m guessing I can just ask them then and hopefully they can ...
