Community Posts, Tips & Support on Pregnancy Scans

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...

I went to my growth scan today and was told that my baby has got smaller. I was sent home with a Doppler appointment, I am so upset and stressed with this news. Has anyone else had this experience?

I have my ‘12 week’ scan tomorrow I’ll be 13 weeks 3 days. I’m really anxious after previous pregnancies not making it to this stage. Did anyone feel like this?

I still have yet to find a OB doctor so I am going to The Open Door, it’s a pregnancy and resource center. I told them that I would like to know what the gender is. They told me something along the lines that they are not professionally trained to determine the gender but would make an educated guess. And to not g...

Hi everyone, I've got my 20 week scan tomorrow and I'm really excited but also extremely anxious! Did anyone else feel this way, and what were your experiences??

Just had my 34 weeks midwife appointment and baby appears to be breech atm, she's put me forward for a scan at 36 weeks to see if he turns or stays breech, anyone had a similar situation?

I have been left for three weeks with no message or no prescription or no appointment. I only requested the results as my MIL asked for them. All I’ve had is a message of my doctors saying a repeat blood test in 3 weeks. Nothing more nothing less, midwife hasn’t even spoken to me?? The lack of care when I’ve alread...

11+5, planning to go for a gender scan at 16 weeks

My baby is being sent for an x-ray on his hips because he was breech till 34 weeks. Has anyone been for this? What does the appointment consist of? Like how will they x-ray my 5 week old baby

Anybody knows places for early scans which not cost arm and leg? Thank you

Hi everyone, I turned up to my 28 week growth scan today just for the lady to refuse to scan because it’s not the “nhs policy” for the reasonings given by my consultant (valid reasons but don’t want to say) has anyone else had this problem before?

Has anyone here had an early pregnancy scan? If so how was your experience? I’m torn between getting one or not… I’m approx 6/7 weeks (periods are sooo irregular so don’t know for definite). On one hand I am really anxious and want to know that the baby is there and I’m not just making things up! On the other ha...

Got my 12 week scan next week..🙈just curious as to what everyone thinks

Is it normal to have a Consultant and Anaesthetist appointment at 32 weeks? Both on different days?

When is the best time to go for a 4D scan And if you’ve had one before and don’t mind sharing gestation and photo please 🥹🙏🏻

Hi everyone! Just wondering if anyone has been pregnant from a 11mm follicle?

I feel so small compared to what’s expected and everyone else I know. I haven’t had an US since 20 weeks. My doctor doesn’t recommend them. Only measuring me with a soft measuring tape. Next one won’t be until 36 weeks 🥹 Can I see ultrasound pics? Also, no signs of Braxton hicks or lactation. My baby moves a lot.…

Hey guys, I’m assuming most of you have had or are having growth scans around 28 weeks … if so what were your “estimated” weights. After worrying she may be big due to GD I’ve actually had the opposite and she’s small …. Next scans at 30 weeks (this week) then will make a plan, more then likely weekly scans I’m assu...

When do you get the first scan ? How many weeks do you need to be

Got my special ultrasound done on 9/25/24 (28weeks) & baby girl was weighing in at 3.3lbs. I paid extra for the 8K photo but it was definitely worth it 🥹😍 she looks like her daddy made her on his own lol💘
