Heart womb!?

So I had a small bedside scan done at my first antenatal appointment, they told me I had a heart shaped uterus/womb but it’s nothing to worry about I’m just more at risk of preterm birth and baby being breech. I’ve never heard of this before in my life! But I think that also kind of explains why I have always had pa...

So worried don’t know what to do with myself x

Centiles

Had my 20 w scan yesterday and I read my notes from it after. Sonographer said all the measurements were fine but it said 22nd centile on the notes. Don’t quite understand what this means? Is baby slightly on the small side? What centile are we aiming for?

Early Glimpse worth it?

So I just found out the Early Glimpse company does the nub theory on scan pictures for early gender prediction. We really don't mind boy or girl, will be happy with either, but at the same time I really want to know to start using their name, and choose clothes and all that. Our next scan is not for another 2 months...

Urine tests in pregnancy

Hi everyone! I am 21 weeks now with my second and I have been having monthly maternity appointments with my doctor. My doctor only collected my urine in the first appointment (when I was 8 weeks pregnant) and never again since then! Is that normal?

Growth Scan at 36+4 - Baby measuring ahead?

Had my growth scan today because Dr measured my belly at 40 weeks, wanted to know how much of that was baby and/or fluid. I also had a growth spurt myself, weight wise, which really did a number on my self esteem 😔 Freaked me out a bit because the scan showed little boy was something like 7lb 10oz I believe. He…

I’ve had some coloured discharge this week and spoken to both a&e doctors and midwife’s who have said it’s normal and 1 in 2 women bleed/ have brown discharge during pregnancy but I can’t shake the nerves! Feel lik...

Boy or girl

I can't post the scan because it's a friends but I was wondering, does the nub needed to bee 100% straight down to be a girl? It's pretty downward but at like a (idk like 45°) angle Thaks in advance

🩷 or 🩵??

I was 13+2 in this scan, currently 14+6 now and find out the gender in a couple of days. I already have a little girl and am curious to see what people think my second little one is 😬 My gut tells me another girl, the dream would be one of each but I would be over the moon regardless ❤️
