Measurements

Got my baby measured yesterday while in the hospital for borderline preeclampsia and he’s measuring at 38 +6 but I’m only 37+ 2 and new estimated due date is 5/20 I’m hoping that’s accurate and he comes early this mama is so ready I’m more worried about his head measurements as it was almost at 41 weeks 😱

Has anyone been told they have a bleed next to the baby but turned out to be another sac?

Please share your experiences with bleeds or twins or misdiagnoses... Been told I look too big by numerous people for my gestation but got told I had a bleed next to baby. Is a misdiagnosis possible? Multiples run in my family but none have been had by my generation yet... (I'm the direct line...) Scan was at 5 ...

Really worried after reassurance scan

Had scan thinking I would be 6w 1d, I know exactly when I ovulated but baby measured 5w 5d (there was a flickering heart beat and they’ve invited me to go back for a rescan next week) but I am so worried these measurements wouldn’t even work out as I got a positive test at 8DPO which would then mean I was only 5DPO ...

36 weeks growth scan

Baby boy is weighing 7 lbs 4 ounces and is already head down. They told he is in the 81%ile. That's good right? Do you think he could get bigger before he is born? I'm so excited, I can't wait to meet him

Breast cyst

I’m waiting to see my doctor but of course panicking a little… i found a lump in my left breast that is quite painful and will move under my skin if touched. I’ve been on dr google and it mentioned breast cancer doesn’t normally move. Just wondering if anyone has experienced cysts like this before?

Gender wrong at 20 weeks scan

Im 30 weeks pregnant and went for a scan the other day as I’d been having reduced movements so was sent for one. We were told they were certain we were having a girl at our 20 week scan. I went for my scan at 30 weeks only to be told I’m having a boy. It’s kind of been a struggle to adjust to the change as we had al...

Weeks?!?!?

Anyone else confused on how many weeks you actually are? My app says I’m 6 weeks but I know exactly when I conceived which was 4 weeks ago. So should I take the 4 weeks or the 6 weeks? I want to be 6 weeks because it means I’m closer to a bloody scan but I’m just so confused 😂 On another note I’m so bloody…
