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!

I had a midwife appointment today I am 31 weeks pregnant after measuring my belly, I was over the normal range (31cm) the last time they measured I was 29 cm, she booked me for a growth scan, anyone experienced this? Is it normal?

Hi everyone!

Had a 7 week scan and there was sac and yolk but no visible embryo or heartbeat. Going back in a few days. Did anyone else experience this and had a positive follow up scan? Pregnancy test strips still showing dye stealers

We aren’t finding out this time but for fun what do you think based on 20 week scan - boy or girl? I have a 15 month old girl and her 20 week scan is in the comments.

Anyone that’s had a growth scan at 32 weeks, how much did they say your baby weighed at this point ? I know they’re not 100% accurate but I have one today and I’m curious about how much he may weigh.

Hi i am booked for an early private scan, from last period it works out 8+3 but from ovulation (i tracked with ovusense) it would be 7+3 weeks. So has anyone got any photos of their scans 7-8 weeks external please. Just to see what to expect. it’s more just for viability than anything i understand there won’t be muc...

I’ve been given an appointment to see a gynecologist at a fertility clinic through the NHS.. but it’s only a phone consultation. Anyone else also have a phone consultation? Do they assess you first and then you go for ultrasound?

Im so scared and idk what I’m looking for here. Maybe just some kind words/support? Thursday when for an echocardiogram for my 3 month old related to breathing problems.

Hi everyone! I have my 12 week scan tomorrow and although I had all my scans at the general a couple of years ago, I got lost every single time. I’m on a bit of a time crunch tomorrow and don’t want to get lost. Can anyone advise me where to go/where to park? Thanks!

Hi all having my baby via section 5th November... Went for 36 weeks scan yesterday and they said fluid is measuring high around the baby. They aren't overly concerned but have to be re scanned next week I was wondering if anyone who has had this would be willing to share their experience of what to expect. Thanks ...

I’m having a 4D/5D ultrasound tomorrow. I’ve read in their consent form that they use high level of waves and now I’m a bit concerned. This isn’t stated on their website. Has anyone else done it?

Just got an ultrasound because I have no idea how far along I am. They said 6 weeks 1 day and they could see a strong heartbeat. However, they said they didn’t know for sure and they weren’t going to do a transvaginal ultrasound. They said come back in 2 weeks and they’ll see for sure how far along I am. I know ...
