I have my 20 week scan coming up and would like to find out the gender but I read online that they only tell you verbally and won’t write it down secretly to get gender balloons etc for a reveal. Is this true as ide just book one private if this is the case. Thanks ☺️💗🩵

Hate to moan…. but my CMW is really stressing me out. At 32 weeks I had my growth scan followed by a CMW appt and she estimated baby was breech… where an hour before at the growth scan the sonographer had confirmed she was cephalic. So unless she did a proper 180 on the car journey which I feel like I would’ve felt...

Hi all, I've just been told that I have a low amount of amniotic fluid and that baby is measuring small (3rd percentile). I'm 30 weeks and the scan a week before was all fine in regards to the fluid levels. They've said that I am likely to be induced anywhere between 34 and 37 weeks depending on weekly scans. Has an...

I had my 20 week scan this week, everything was great but I was told I have a low lying placenta so need a extra scan at 32 weeks, has anyone had this before? I don’t won’t to worry myself over it but can stop thinking about it either.

Hi everyone, Just looking for reassurance really. We just had our 20 week scan yesterday, and the sonographer told us she is pretty sure our baby has a club foot. This doesn't run in our families at all so it wasn't even on my radar as something that could be an issue, and it's left me a little bit scared and worri...

Hi everyone, I was told at my 20 week scan that my placenta is fully covering my cervix. They didn't tell me much else other that it can move up as the uterus stretches. I've been booked for another scan at 32 weeks to check. Has anyone else had this before with past pregnancies? Does it really move?

I was so excited booking my 4d scan to see my twin girls tomorrow but after booking they told me they can’t allow me to have one as it’s against rules as they have to leave a 7 day window between each scan an as I have weekly nhs scans till birth they won’t be able to scan me an refunded me my money back. I feel v...

Just wanted to gut check with y'all. I'm 36 weeks and some change, doing weekly appointments, had my strep swab (negative, yay!), but I feel like there are things my OB is just sort of guessing at? Every appointment they just check baby's heartbeat, measure my belly and say she's on track for size, and now they are ...

Anyone else out there have 2 placentas?? 🤯🤯 Was told some women just grow an extra one, 2nd isn't attached to baby. Main one is on the back wall and the 2nd doing nothing is on the front wall just blocking me from feeling most my baby's movements. Main placenta is low lying as well so need extra scabs to see if it…

Hi! I had my 20 week scan and baby is healthy but I have a low lying placenta. The doctor told me that usually they move a lil on their own but if it doesn’t move I will have to have a c section:( I really want to deliver vaginally so kind of bummed. Was wondering if anyone else has any experience with this? Getting...

Hello, my baby was measuring two weeks ahead at over 2200g or 5lbs and I'm really starting to get nervous. What were other people's babys weighing and what was said about that x

Has anybody gotten an ultrasound for a lump in your breast. My doctor found a lump at my 6 week checkup appointment today. He ordered an ultrasound. If you have gotten a breast ultrasound, did they find anything concerning? How long until you got results? Just trying to calm my anxiety until my ultrasound

So I’m having a private scan this morning and I’ve felt excited up until this morning and now I’m so nervous! I’m 16+6 and this is a gender reveal but one where they write it down as we don’t want to know until we have our party and learn with all our family and friends what’s we are having! The nerves are because o...

I'm feeling so deflated I've just been for my private scan and they've put me back to 6 weeks. They could see the sac but no embryo yet 😢 I don't know what to think now 😢

Found out today that I am having a baby GIRL I can not wait I’m over the moon 🩷🩷

12w 2d scan boy or girl

Would I be able to get a second opinion on my 20 week scan as I feel like the hospital that performed the first one did not do a thorough enough job? If so how do I go about it

We had our gender scan today and it’s another boy! Anyone else having their second boy? 🤍

So I’ve noticed the moms who post their NIPT results that show the fetal fraction, they’re like 4-7%. My baby’s was 15.2% 😳 anyone know what that means lol

My 13 week scan! Any guesses in what gender it could be 💙 🩷
