I am very sad as I went today for the baseline scan and I only have three follicles and I am 42 years old. I feel it a lost cause :-( Did anyone with such a low follicle count had any success story?

I’m abit dumb when it comes to percentiles? What does this mean, does it mean baby is measuring a little small? But nothing to worry about?

Got my 20 week scan at 10am, do I need a full bladder? It says nothing on the letter and even tho it’s my third I can’t remember 🫣

Has anyone else been told they have a low lying anterior placenta? I’ve been told it’s nothing to worry about and have been booked in for an extra scan at 32 weeks but can’t help but be anxious. I know there’s nothing I can do but would really love a vaginal birth 😭

Hi I had my booking appointment today at 11+6 They struggled to get a clear image but baby was measuring around 10+5 has anyone experienced this and all turned out ok? Strong heartbeat from baby but the weeks difference is throwing me off a bit

What to expect at the 20 week scan?? Already know the gender of baby! Thankyou 💕

12w4d when the scan was taken, any ideas? 😊

Not the best picture but had my reassurance scan this morning and we could see the wee flicker of the heartbeat🥺 So happy to see little bean💖

No sac yet in scan so haven’t ruled out ectopic or not. But hcg doubling fine with regular blood tests. But suddenly symptoms have decreased last two days. Makes me so nervous. Has this happened to other people. Not bleeding and feel different to when I’ve had the miscarriages so praying. And high hcg and proges...

Has anyone been sent to ards for their booking appointment? I was at the ulster for my last one and just. assumed it would be there. Is there much difference?

Just had my first scan at 12weeks, any guesses? 🫶🏻

Just had my scan I’m 6+3 Early scan due to recurrent mc. My heart dropped when she said I see 2 strong heart beats 🫣 No symptoms apart from being super hungry. Feeling overwhelmed but blessed due end of may 2025 🥂

I’m planning to book an early scan soon, but my husband and I have no choice but to bring our 19-month-old, as we don’t have any family nearby. Has anyone else taken their toddler to an early scan? I really want my husband to attend, so having him stay outside with our son isn’t a preferred option.

Will post another photo in the comments🫶🏼

Hi mamas, It should be a 40-week appointment check up? I didn't receive any email/letter for it despite at 37,5 (last appointment) was mention it. I received an appointment for 41 weeks and I don't know if is what it should be or again my hospital forgot to book my next appointment ( happened twice already). Ps. C...

Hey everyone so I’m 25 weeks and at the 20 week scan I was told I wouldn’t have any more, this is making me incredibly anxious anyone know any cheap private scan places?

Got my 3+ today and a dye stealer! This has made me feel like everything is ok and can relax slightly and look forward to our early scan in just over a week 🥳

At what point do doctors find multiple gushes of light blood tinged amniotic fluid a problem? I've been having occasional cramping, not my normal appetite but still an appetite, multiple light blood tinged amniotic fluid leak, overall just not feeling good and since they don't see anything when being monitored they ...

So after spending the past 4 days in hospital, had a scan today and baby had no out enough weight and will be having a section tomorrow!!! I’m 37 plus 3 days so it’s classed as full term but estimated weight is 5 pound 8🫣 I thought I had a few more weeks to prepare but I have less than 10 hours!! Please give me…

I scheduled a private ultrasound a week ago because we were going out of town and I wanted to be sure it had stuck in the right place due to a previous ectopic. A week ago they only did an outer ultrasound and they said it was hard to tell but it looked like it could he 5 weeks 6 days. I thought I was 6 and a half w...
