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. So I have two concerns here.. for those who went through this.. 1. Did you have to wait until 36wks for your next scan? 2. Did you end up having vagin...

Boy or girl? What do you think? Sonographer has said what they think. Private gender scan booked for a few weeks but interested to know your thoughts.

Just had my first ultrasound with baby #2, due May 27th. I swear this pregnancy everything is showing up so early. All the pregnancy symptoms, especially being tired and nauseous. I’m also showing already which is wild. When was the earliest you announced? Thinking I have to announce soon with how much I’m alrea...

I went for a growth scan today (32+5 weeks) and it turns out baby is measuring incredibly small- about 6th percentile. They aren’t sure why and they’ve booked me in for further growth scans and are mentioning an induction of baby fails to make improvements in growth. I’m really quite worried even though they told me...

Had a growth scan this evening due to reduced movements, I am 30+3 and my baby weighs 3lb 4oz and is on the 13th percentile. His head and abdomen are on the normal line but his femur length is the lower side of normal. My husband is now so anxious there’s something wrong but they did say his arms and legs were stra...

Does anyone have any recommendations for where to go for a private Gender scan? Don’t mind travelling a little way but just want to make sure it’s a more positive experience than last time. Thanks in advance 🥰

When is everyone's 20 week scan?

Booked myself an early private scan for Sunday and I’ll be 9 weeks spot on. Was wondering if you girls could show me your scans so I know what I’ll be able to see x

I know this is something so trivial but we are waiting for the scan before we tell anyone, I’m 12+2 now and I know we could have had our scan but it’s not been scheduled until I’m 13.5weeks. Deffo first world problems but just wishing I could see my baby and see if everything is okay

Hello! I just got booked for a scan with the NHS, which won't be before December. I would like to book an early scan before then as I'm both impatient and worried. How do I go about it? I'm based in South East London and am ensured on my husband's Vitality insurance. I have no idea how to book this! Thanks!

Hi everyone!
