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 😭🤦🏻‍♀️

20 weeks rescan!

Hello everyone 🥰 I’ve just had my 20 week rescan as the first 20 week scan they couldn’t see all of the heart. Little one played up again, this time her hand was over her heart 🤭😳 so they couldn’t see it. They said a doctor now has to do my third scan to get it ticked off. Has anyone had this experience before? 🩷

Low lying placenta

Just did my 20weeks scan and I got told my placenta is lying low, and so I got booked for a 36 weeks scan. Online it says by 32 weeks it should be checked again.
