We had our growth scan today and baby girl is measuring small (on the 9th percentile weighing 510g) and baby boy is measuring a little small but a good size (16th percentile weighing 629g). We have to be rescanned in 2 weeks time rather than 4 to check baby girls...

Baby Measuring Small at 32 Weeks

I’m 32 weeks pregnant with my first baby, and during my scan yesterday, I was told that the baby’s growth is measuring below average. While everything else, like the blood flow and oxygen from the placenta, looked fine, I can’t help but feel really anxious. The baby’s movements haven’t changed, but I have a follow-u...

Early loss

So I found out I was pregnant at 4+4, at 5+3 I started cramping left side and then 5+4 I started bleeding. I went for a scan today at 5+5 and they can’t locate a pregnancy. The EPU said that I have to have BHCG tests 48 hours apart and then they’ll call me with the results. I just feel so upset, and want to know whe...

Low lying placenta

Hi everyone yesterday I was diagnosed with a posterior low lying placenta, has anyone else had this before? They've told me if it doesn't move vaginal birth will not be possible and I'll need a c-section. Booked in at 34 weeks for "placenta check" , and I have growth scans too anyway so I assume they'll check it qui...

Anterior placenta

So I had my 20 weeks scan yesterday and on the notes under placenta it says anterior but the midwife never said anything to me about it and told me everything was fine, does that mean I will have an anterior placenta the whole pregnancy? I’m just so confused

Booking appointment

Can someone explain what happens at the booking appointment (first midwife appointment) Like it seems strange to me that we have to wait until 12 week (unless pay for private scan) to get anything solid there’s an actually baby growing inside us 😭🤦🏻‍♀️
