12 week scan
Early scan
Has anyone booked a early scan? As I did and turns out I'm having twins! I'm still in shock and I'm really scared.
Percentiles
Hiiii, can anybody explain percentiles to me and what they mean? I was measuring small by my midwife on Wednesday below the 1st percentile to be exact, so I was worried. However, I went for a scan yesterday and they seemed happy with my baby’s measurements and said she was at the 45th percentile. FYI my gestation ...
No 1 month appointment
My last appointment was at 2 weeks and they don’t have us scheduled until 2 months Is the common?
6 week checks
I was recently talking about my 6 week GP check and the other person was surprised that my GP didn't check my C'section scar or feel to make sure that my uterus had shrunk back down. Are these things that should have been done?
Does my scan pic look ok?
So I had to have my 12 week scan today as I’m 12 weeks bang on instead of next week but even tho they said baby is completely fine I can’t help but be nervous that my scan pic doesn’t look the best? Idk it sounds insane maybe it’s because the scan was so last minute and baby wouldn’t really co operate tbh x
Femur
Anyone had a scan and baby measuring perfectly fine except the femurs showing 4% percentile 🫤
Over 97th percentile
I’ve been booked in for a emergency growth scan as baby is over 97th percentile at 28 weeks! Has anyone else had this?
16 week scan bad experience
I had a 16 week scan today and can’t help but feel disappointed. It was an extra scan given to us because the NHS couldn’t get the screening measurements at 12 weeks. Baby was facing backward so it was blurry and we could hardly see anything. The sonographer didn’t seem interested in letting me move around to try a...
12 week scan. Let’s use the nub theory
Anyone who already has kids, understands the nub theory, or is just very good at guessing gender. What do we reckon? I’m actually not going to find out, however id love to hear people’s opinion!
One stubborn baby
Had a scan today and was very hopeful of finally getting a look at baby's face, but nope, she's chosen to be stubborn throughout the whole pregnancy. Bless the ultrasound lady for really trying this time. Only a couple more weeks until we meet her and get to see her face 😍 Anyone else have/ had a stubborn baby…
Is 10+4 too early to detect a heartbeat on a home Doppler. I can’t seem to find the heartbeat other than mine
I have heard the heartbeat but with a transvaginal scan last week.
Appointments
Are my appointments lined up wrong? I’ve had my 12 week scan already. My next midwife appointment is when I’ll be 14 weeks and 5 days. My next scan will be at 20 weeks exactly. Is this normal or am I missing something? I keep hearing about all these other appointments but they are at totally different stages to mi...
Cervical length scan
Hi everyone! I am going for a cervical scan on Monday to check the length of my cervix after a previous LLETZ. I will be 18w2d and I’m so hopeful that they’ll tell me the gender. Has anyone got experience of this and know if they might? With my last pregnancy, I already knew the gender as it was after 20 weeks so I...
16 Week Midwife appointment
Hi, I have my 16 week appointment with the midwife in just over a week and I’ve seen some people say they heard the baby’s heartbeat during this appointment. Is this true or does it vary depending on Midwife? Did you take Husbands/Partners with you to 16 week appointment? TIA 😊
