Community Posts, Tips & Support on Pregnancy Scans

Not looking for medical advice!! Just any experiences that might be similar! Hi everyone, I’m very newly pregnant with my 2nd! I had an early scan due to previous pregnancy loss and the nurse found fluid in my pouch of Douglas- Has anyone ever had free fluid in the pouch of Douglas which has ended up harmless an...

My last OB saw me as soon as I got a positive test to confirm my positive test at 5 weeks (I do know this is earlier than most offices do) and then saw me at 7/8 weeks for an ultrasound. My new OB office says they don’t see you until you’re 10-11 weeks along. Is this normal or later than most?

When was the first time you had your bump measured? I’m 27 weeks and still haven’t- but was sent home with a tape measure. Got a bit upset as the tape measure didn’t even go around my waist… my friend then told me it’s not to go around you 🤣 but I wasn’t told how to measure it otherwise!

Got 2-3 first time I tested and now it’s Been 11 days and still in the 2-3 range really want that 3+ feeling I’ve no idea how I’m going to wait till 12 weeks for scan time haha

has anyone else with twins been told this and what happened i didn’t get much information on it just got to go back again next week

I started to spot very very minimal in my discharge. Rusty brown/ very light pink. I can a scan and early assessment this morning. They saw the sac and yolk. She said she thinks she saw the fetal pole but tiny (approx half mm) so not big enough yet to see the heart beat. So they’ve put it down as pregnancy of unce...

I’m pregnant with twins and have had a private 12 week scan today. The bigger baby was laid on its belly, facing down. It was moving around and the heart was beating fine. Has anyone else had this? I didn’t ask questions at the time as the lady doing the scan didn’t seem alarmed but since I’ve got home I can’t stop ...

Had my 12 week scan today what’s everyone’s guesses for gender?🤍

I’ve had a call to say the doctor needs to speak to me Monday about my blood results, if they’re waiting surely it isn’t too bad?

Hey, I am being sent for a reduced movement scan. They said this would usually have a 48h urgent referral to it. I was referred last night so assuming today or tomorrow? Does anyone know how long you have to wait to get the call? Like will they call me and I have to be within the hour or would they have called me a...

Who do you think baby will be? 🩵🩷

What are your gender predictions?

Hey ladies, I’ve got my next midwife appointment on Tuesday and curious as to whether they will do heartbeat. Does anyone know as I’m aware it depends on where you are in the country. Thanks x

I'm not sure if I'm just not asking the right things.... but I feel as though nhs really don't go into details about many things. Not this early anyway, iv had my 20w scan and everything came back 'normal' which is of course great news but what happens now?? I have my next few midwife appointments booked in but my 1...

12w 4d scan!

Has anyone ever had free fluid in the pouch of Douglas which has ended up harmless and not ectopic? I had an early scan today consistent with about 4 weeks pregnant so we couldn’t see much at all but free fluid was picked up in the pouch of Douglas which I’ve never had before. My provider said she thinks it’s much m...

Has anyone been for a scan and taken baby with them? The letter says babies aren't allowed in the antenatal department? My boy will be nearly 11months old, but was hoping he would be able to see the scan with us🥺

Has anyone been in this situation? At 20 weeks they mentioned I had a low placenta but weren’t worried or didn’t restrict me for anything saying it will live back up. I have just been to my 32 weeks scan and it seems it hasn’t moved and is still low. Because my placenta is posterior, apparently it is unlikely it w...

I had an early ultrasound at 6 weeks 2 days. I'm still waiting to see my actual ob, but it's just so crazy I'm pregnant. My son just turned 1 right when I found out. Now I'm 8 weeks 1 day along and already showing this time around. I'm still not sure how I'm going to handle two under two, but I can't wait until my a...
