Kinda scared 😨

I took a SneakPeek gender test at 10 weeks and the results were girl. I'm doing my NIPT test next week. I'm hoping it's a girl. If it's a boy that's okay too. I have a 2 year old son and I think I only want 2 kids. So I'm praying this is a girl so I can have my pair 😭 Any guesses? 💙🩷

What are the chances of getting told you're having a boy but it actually turns out to be a girl?

We went to our anomaly scan last week and the technician said she thought it was a boy but couldn't be sure and said she actually regretted telling us because of how uncertain she was. Baby's been in a difficult position the entire time and that was actually my third anomaly scan as they haven't been able to get all...

36 week growth scan

Has anyone had their 36 week growth scan estimated weights? Baby’s measuring 7 lb 9 oz, told she’s big but haven’t had any follow up on it at all or extra scans booked. Just wondering on peoples experiences and whether baby has actually been born really big as I know they can be very inaccurate!

Low lying placenta

We had our 20 week scan today and are so happy our miracle baby girl is healthy🩷 They did tell me my placenta is quite low down, so I'm to have another scan at 30 weeks to check it has moved.

Very early scan - different sizes

Hi there. I was referred by the GP to hospital yesterday with a suspicion of ectopic pregnancy. I’m only 5weeks + 6 days, so had my very first scan which confirmed the pregnancy is in the womb, but there are 2 embryos! What a surprise! The doctor told us it’s way too early to confirm a twin pregnancy and that one he...

Change to due date

On my badger notes app my due date has changed to the 22nd November. I imagine it is because my baby boy was measuring big at my last growth scan. Is this normal?
