Ultrasound

Has anybody had 2 ultrasound scans within a week? I’ve got my 12 week one next Tuesday but I’ve been so poorly recently I’m feeling anxious and want to book a private one for today but not sure if having 2 too close together will harm the baby?

Bump not grown in few weeks

I’m 19 weeks now and I’d say my bump hasn’t grown in the past 3 weeks… is this normal? I have the 20wk scan next Wednesday. All yesterday I had bad period like pains and did call triage, they weren’t overly concerned as no blood but just thought I’d reach out to any first time mamas if this happened to you? Thanks💖

Anatomy Scan for Baby boy went well today

So I'm 20 weeks and 4 days today and had my anatomy scan for baby boy and he looks great and he was very active. I haven't gotten a ultrasound picture since I was 11 weeks and the difference in size is crazy. I'm so in love with him already and he has a little bit more time until he reaches earthside. I think I'm go...

8 week check up

I’ve just been to the mother and baby check up and feel like she rushed us in and out. She checked my babies eyes and looked at her bum that was it. She didn’t look at me and she didn’t ask any questions about how I’m healing. I just want to know what others have experienced at their 8 weeks checks before I make a c...
