Growth

Hello 🩷 Having some worry around baby growth. Baby was previously on 97th percentile and I got diagnosed with gestational diabetes as a result.

Gender Guesses 💙❤️

Love to know what you guys think at 12 weeks 5 days scan... This will be our second as we already have a beautiful 13 month girl. Symptoms are completely different this time and this one seems a lot bigger as first... 🤔

Early Scan

I have booked a private early scan and because I'm less than 10 weeks I just saw in the email that the scan is done transvaginally. Can anyone confirm if this hurts please and how big is the tool they use, now I'm nervous 😅 Also is this safe for the baby? I'd rather wait if it causes any risk. Edit: thank you…

Early gender scan

Is it worth it to find out the gender early with a private scan, it's gonna be about £45 but are they really worth it? I find out anyway November so I don't know if it's worth just being patient or paying. Or even how accurate they are I'm just not sure x

Clearblue

So the digital says I'm 2-3 but going by the 1st date of my last period I'm 5 weeks today and my hcg was 101 on Wednesday. Anyone else had this and should I be worried? I was in hospital last week and couldn't eat for 5 days and they didn't even tell me I was pregnant.

First NHS scan

I have my 12 week scan booked for Friday (11wk 6d). I’m a bag of nerves and excitement - unsure how I’m going to get through this week! I had a private scan at 8 weeks and everything was fine so keep reassuring myself and looking back at the scan picture (plus trying to stay off Google / Tik Tok). My symptoms see...

U/S looks weird

I’m concerned how my baby’s ultrasound looks- does it seem like she has something wrong with her upper lip? Not sure if it’s just funky because it’s an ultrasound or if it’s something she has that’s abnormal. This was done at a boutique U/S place so they couldn’t answer any medical questions. Multiple photos show th...

Baby scan UK from discount pram centre

Hi! I just got a pram at Discount Pram centre and I was wondering if any of you had a 4D scan for free from there? Is it worth it? I am only asking as it is a little bit more than an hour in the car to the nearest location and I'm not sure if I should waste my time on it?
