Baby gender

So my partner and I have agreed not to find out what we're having until the baby is born, but we've really been hoping for a boy... Yesterday we went for the Growth Assessment Scan and... I'm pretty sure I saw that it had a winkie?? 😁🥰 My jaw dropped but I didn't say anything because I didn't want to make the…

My pregnancy notes

Hey everyone so I'm 24+6 and regularly check my pregnancy notes and nothing has been updated since my 12 week scan! I see my midwife on Wednesday so I plan on bringing it up with her but surely it should of been updated after my 20 week scan?

Scan fetal and HC size

My baby’s head/HC measure was 93rd percentile and other measures between 51 to 78th. The doctor didn’t say anything about this. Should I be worried please? It looks disproportionate. The scan was at 35w.

12 week scan

I went for my 12 week scan last week but have to go back Tuesday due to baby measuring less than 12 weeks. I drank so much water that it was so uncomfortable during the scan and all I could think about was going for a wee. Do you have to really drink that much before a 12 week scan? As previous times my bladder ha...

Smear test results and colpolscopy

So I’m super scared tbh. I had my smear test results come back as HPV positive and low grade cell changes. I thought fair because last time I had borderline changes and my body hasn’t shifted the HPV in 5 years since I had my first smear test. Doctor made me feel better before I had the colpolscopy but she looked an...

Amniotic Fluid

Recently saw my midwife who booked me in for a growth scan (she was worried I was measuring small) I am 31+5. Had our growth scan yesterday and all measurements are fine but now they want to see me next week as the amniotic fluid is a little on the low side (should be above 5 and mine is 4) Has anyone had this before?

Gender scans

Has anybody had a successful private gender scan at 15 weeks? With my son I was told the earliest I could have one was 16 weeks so that’s what we did. But I’ve seen some places now offer it at 15 weeks? Has anybody had this and they got clear pictures from it? X

I’m currently 27 weeks pregnancy with my second and already measuring ov...

12 week scan

I have my 12 week scan in a week, I’m very nervous did anyone feel the same? I think the neck measurement is extremely overwhelming & then having to wait for the results seems really mean Did everyone get their results straight away?
