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

Just interested in how people’s pregnancies progressed/ births of big babies went, ie early inductions growth scans etc. My first baby was 9lb12oz (complete surprise! ) My bump measured 2cm above consistently but never had any growth scans. I’m currently 27 weeks pregnancy with my second and already measuring ov...

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?

Hi Mamas, I know it’s early days and I know things can change but I’m pregnant with baby #2. We’ve had our 12 week scan today and been told I have an anterior placenta. I’m worried I won’t feel baby movements like I did with my first and other family members won’t either. Had anyone been through this? X

Im a “geriatric” pregnancy, scan is scheduled for 17th but do the genetic testing this Monday, both have me so stressed out.

Hi. Acording to the last mestruation date I am 6w3d pregnant and we went to the private scan but all they could see was a baby sack and no clearly visible baby they did not check for heartbeat. They said to come back for another scan in 2 weeks time. Shoul I be worried? Or is it normal? Putting photo of the scan dow...

Does anyone know what triggers you to be sent for a growth scan? I've seen so many posts about people having growth scans. Our baby is measuring over the 95th percentile in the last 2 midwife appointments (over the grey lines) and the midwife said she will 'likely' send me for a growth scan at 36 weeks. I'm currentl...

I'm 27+5 and just had my Growth Assessment Scan today. My baby is currently on the 62nd centile but its estimated weight is coming in at 2Ibs 6oz, is that a good thing? I have another growth scan booked in 4 weeks time.

Has anyone been referred to the Early Pregnancy Unit at Warrington Hospital? How long does the process take? My GP referred me yesterday because I've had some bleeding. She said it would be 24 hours, but I've not heard from them today and I'm assuming they're closed over the weekend. I don't think my anxiety can wa...

We had an early scan at 6w5d & saw heartbeat baby measuring right size too. Another scan a week later, baby had grown but doc wasn’t able to get the ultrasound Doppler to pick up the heartbeat, I could see it flickering but it didn’t look as fast as before although doc said it was fine but didn’t give much of an exp...

Has this happened to anyone? This is baby number two and it's saying 5w3d which I know is far too early to see anything but by my last period it's estimated 6w4d. Just curious as to what to do next as I feel a bit lost!

Hi! The tech did not mention anything about this, she was not concerned at all. But I am overthinking right now… I have to say that I am petite 4’11 and my husband is 5’5. Could it be due to genetics right?

I found out I was pregnant with number two a couple of weeks ago, I booked an early scan as my husband is away for a couple of months and to see if everything is as it should be. It came back as inconclusive and that the age looks around 5w3d which I know is far too early. But they weren't very clear what that mea...

I had my 12 week scan yesterday. Any guesses on gender just for fun 🩷💙

Hi, I'm 28 and I've never had a smear test before, and have a 13 week old baby so naturally doctors are telling me I need to book a smear test, especially as I've never had one. Can anyone on here give me their experience of smear tests? For example, what are they like VS cervical exams when having a baby? Very nerv...

Anyone had an early gender blood test before this pregnancy and can confirm accuracy x

Eeeeek we just had our last growth scan bubs is roughly 2kg/4.5lbs and in the 30th weight percentile. 6 more weeks to go until we meet our little love bug. How’s your growths going

I've been having regular growth scans since 28 weeks. At my 32 week scan baby's head and abdomin were on the 97th centile and legs only on the 10th. His head seems to be getting increasingly bigger whilst his legs are really short. It concerned me slightly and wondered if anyone has experienced anything similar?

Had my first anatomy scan and we confirmed he’s a BOY 😊 I’m so excited!

Okay ladies, I am both excited and anxious for my 20 week anatomy scan tomorrow afternoon..I haven't seen him since 8 weeks along and I last technically heard him at 16 weeks ( I have a doppler but not a professional listening). I'm excited to see my baby absolutely. But also nervous..💙
