Growth scan

Went to my 34 week appointment and measuring 32 so has dropped from last time. I’ve been referred for a scan, anyone else had this? Slightly worried that something is wrong with him.

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?

Twin growth🤍

Hi Mama’s! I am currently 22 weeks with my boy and girl twins🩵🩷 We had our 20 week anatomy scan and babies are both measuring 11oz each at 20+3 weeks. Is this within the healthy range? I am 5’2 and quite slim build so do often worry that babies aren’t going to be very big… anyone else similar to my frame and have…

4D scans

Anyone going to book for a 4D scan? I didn’t get the chance for one with my boy nearly 3 years ago but the woman at our gender scan said about it and mentioned the ideal time to book one in for and now I can’t stop thinking about it. So we’re going ahead with it🥰 Anyone else planning to have one too?

Is this right?

So I was sent for a presentation scan at the hospital when I was 37 weeks 2 days and they confirmed baby is in breech flexed position.

33 week ultrasound growth scan

Goodness. I shouldn’t have googled it after I left, I’m a little stressed out. I wish I would have asked more questions but I was thrown off guard I guess. After getting my scan, the doctor told me my baby girl is measuring a big belly and to watch how many carbs I eat. That’s literally all he said and I didn’t ask ...

Contraction monitor strip/notes

Im not sure how to explain this but when in labour in hospital they put the monitors on your belly to monitor the contractions and babys heart rate. Is it possible to get those notes? Looking like a contractions monitor strip like this photo.

Measuring ahead

I just had a routine OB appointment for 23 weeks and they said my belly is measuring at 28/29 weeks and they want me to come in for an ultrasound to confirm. Just wondering if anyone has had something similar. Did it turn out to be a big baby or did they just really mess up conception date?

Getting a cervical check

I got my first cervical check for the first time and idk if I am just super tight and tense or my doctor was just aggressive for no reason but her whole fist was inside and was scraping around and it was like the most painful thing I’ve ever had and I am terrified to get checked again what should i do

Cervical stitch

My cervix was measuring 41mm at 15 weeks, I just had my 20 week scan and it’s shortened by 17mm and is now measuring 24mm. I’m having the stitch tomorrow. Any positive stories? I lost my firstborn at 23 weeks and I believe it was due to my cervix shortening.
