Baby’s head circumference 2 weeks behind
Hello, I'm just looking for some reassurance. I'm currently 26 weeks and 4 days pregnant, and I had a growth scan to compare with the 20-week one from the NHS. The scan showed that my baby girl's head is in the 10th percentile (235mm), which is a bit of a decrease from the first measurement (165mm). I'm really worri...
Gender Prediction
12 week scan! Boy or Girl??
Growth scan
Has anyone not been informed where there baby is on the growth chart. I have a scan next Friday ( I’ll be 35 weeks) as I have moved hospital but in my prior scans and midwife appointments I haven’t ever been told how baby girl is weight wise. Does that mean she’s normal for where she should be 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Feels like waiting a lifetime
With my first, I had my first midwife appointment by 9 weeks, scan by 11 weeks. This time I had my first midwife appointment at 11 weeks 5 days and my scan isn’t until Friday 18th which will make me over 13weeks of my dates are correct. Everything feels much slower this time round, and I didn’t know you had less mid...
97th centile bump measurement
Has anyone else measured 97th centile a couple of times and not been referred for anything? Both times the midwives haven't said much and this time I did ask is that an issue at all and she said no just means babies growing well 🤷🏻♀️ To be fair she hasn't shot up suddenly, the line on the chart looks like steady…
Imposter syndrome?
I’m about to be 18 weeks, but I’m feeling serious Imposter Syndrome! It’s been almost a month since my last ultrasound and it’s hard to know everything is still ok when I’m still not very big, and I can’t feel anything! Any comforting advice? Any way to know everything is as it should be without seeing the doctor? W...
It’s twins! Gender??
My 12 week scan showed the surprise of twins 🤯 any guesses on gender? They’re identical so two of the same!
Short cervix advice
Hey ladies. I'm 19+2 and I had my anatomy scan yesterday. Baby boy was very active and the tech measured most things. She is concerned that my cervix is shorter than what it's supposed to be and it's funneling. I have to go back next week to check length again. Anyone had this happen? This was in my notes from yest...
Baby has long legs?!
So at my last ultrasound they mentioned my baby has quite long legs?! (Says OOR on report which I’m guessing means out of range?!) I’m only 5’5 and my partner is only like 5’10 so I’m really confused as to why she’s got long legs, is this something to be worried about? Has anyone ever experienced this?
New to the group.

I asked about a cerclage and he said if it's shorter we'd do the ...
Has anyone had a growth scan at 32 weeks and baby measuring at 10th percentile? I have to return back next week for another scan at 36 weeks to check if baby is continuing to grow or if there is a decline in growth.
This will essentially tell me when my c section is due either 39 weeks or earlier. Anyone been in this situation before? My first I was induced at 39 weeks exactly as at 38 weeks the midwife sent me for a growth scan and showed baby was small or stopped growing. Wonder if this is likely to happen again. I also think...
Anyone with knowledge of PAPP-A?
Has anyone in the group had or currently dealing with PAPP-A anomalies? I am 19 weeks pregnant and was told following my quad testing that anomalies have been found. Would love any recommendations on how anyone else has navigated this and if there’s anything I can do to try and keep baby as safe as possible 💖
Doctors appointment at 20 weeks
I have my 20 week scan in November and straight after they’ve booked me in to see the doctor. I was just wondering if this was normal or if it’s because I’m high risk? Sorry if it’s a stupid question, it’s my first pregnancy 😂
GD Scans
Hi - I’ve been diagnosed with GD at 27 weeks pregnant with my first baby. I haven’t been offered any additional scans and was wondering if this is correct? I’ve seen on the NHS guidance that I perhaps should be but wanted to hear about your experiences. My bump was also not measured at my 25 week midwife appointme...
Anterior placenta
Was told this at 16 weeks during my private gender scan. Is it possible for this to move!?
