It’s taken me a while to write this but I’m after some guidance and/or being pointed in the right direction to women who are going through the same thing. My little boy was born with a hand deformity. I don’t know how else to put it because it sounds harsh but that’s what it is. We found out at 20 weeks that this ...

I had my first ultrasound today and estimated to be a little over 6 weeks. Doctor couldnt find any yolk sac and told me it may be a blighted ovum or a miscarriage but to come back in a week to check again and not be too discouraged. I think she just said that to make me feel better and I dont have high hopes. But di...

I've found out i have anterior placenta. They also said you have 3 vessels. 1 of mine isn't allowing blood flow. I'm going to need 3 additional scans. This has made me worry a little. Anyone else similar?

Any guesses please? (Unfortunately was printed with a line through it)

Hey girls! I’ve had my referral through to the obstetrics outpatients clinic which I’m assuming is my first consultant appointment as I have a bicornuate uterus. Does anyone know what happens at these!? It’s not the normal 16 week appointment as I already have that booked with my GP. Just an overly anxious girl who ...

Ive booked a 4D scan for 32weeks, is this too late😢😢 did anyone get good pics? As I got an email to say like anything from 30 weeks onwards it’s purely down to the baby, which I understand and I’m hoping she’s a good girl, as she’s always been great for scans but I paid over £100 so wanted it to be good. I can’t do…

Went to the SAU regarding some bleeding I had on Saturday had scan today and told I’m having a threatened Misscarage has anyone experienced this and was there baby okay ?

Just a question, why are some women getting cervical checks? Is that a normal part of midwife checks, or is it done if you present with issues/ symptoms? I’m 37 nearly 38 weeks and never had one.

Just had a growth scan, baby is measuring 7lb 4. Got sent to triage and they are now going to test me for gestational diabetes - have to go back at 38 weeks for another scan but if I do have gestational diabetes, how soon are they likely to want to get the baby out after that test?? 😩

I have my 20 Week scan on the coming bank holiday Monday (I'll be 21+1 Weeks). Ordinarily, my 3yr old is in nursery 5 days a week but because of the bank holiday, the nursery is shut and we are struggling to get alternative childcare in place for the scan as our family lives far away. My 3yr old is really good and I...

Excited to finally have had my 12 week scan 🥰 Baby measured at 12+6 As everyone asks would be super interested what you think baby is? Chat gpt leans towards a girl! Just for fun of course, I don’t mind either way. Had my blood test as well, was told I will get a letter in about a week. So relieved to see the…

I’m not due until the 19th but have been offered a sweep on this day. Does anyone have any positive stories? Also waiting for a call for a growth scan as bump is measuring small again 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hey ladies, not really sure if I’m looking for advice or comfort or just to get this off my chest really. We had our 20 week scan yesterday and we have a very wriggly baby so it was hard for sonographer to see much. We couldn’t get any pictures because baby was facing the wrong way so would have just been the back ...

I booked a boutique ultrasound for Sunday, I’ll be 13+6 and I’m excited but is there anything else I need to do besides make sure I have a full bladder? Also should I post the pictures?

I had a growth scan at almost 28 weeks and finally got the results, bub is it in the 3rd percentile and measuring at 25 weeks. I know ultrasound not 100% accurate but anyone else in the same boat and what is your doctors doing for it? I’m thinking of getting a second opinion for ultrasound

Had my scan today and I’m 13 weeks🫶🏻 what are peoples thoughts, boy or girl🤍

Anyone else dealing with this? My doctors say it super common but it’s still scary. I had an ultrasound Tuesday that showed his kidneys were severely dilated, where he was only moderately dilated at my 20 week ultrasound. Nothing can really done until after birth, which does not need to be induced early thankfully. ...

hey everyone i am ftm currently 33 weeks 5 days. last week at my 32 week appointment i asked my doctor about getting a growth scan and was told i will not receive any more scans and haven’t had one since 21 weeks for anatomy scan. i am measuring on time and am low risk. but brought up that i am worried that he is no...

Does anyone know how much dating scan photos are at Southmead hospital? I have mine tomorrow and know they charge for scan photos now, and wasn’t sure how much they are ?
