Big babies!

I’ve had a growth scan today (36+2) and baby boy is measuring 6lb 14oz. They’ve mentioned I may need a third OGTT to triple check there’s no sign of gestational diabetes. I’m not worried about his size, but just curious to how big your babies were at full term after having baby measuring big on growth scans x

20 week scan

Scan is next Wednesday (30th) and I’m starting to feel nervous. Can feel baby move so I know she’s ok, but still just anxious. Has anyone got any positive stories to share to help settle the nerves as I realise there’s no point worrying?!

Gender Scan at 15+1

Anyone had a successful gender scan this early? I didn’t even know you could go before 16 weeks it wasn’t an option in my first pregnancy. Today is the only day me and my husband can both do for 2 weeks but I’m worried the baby will be too small to determine the gender 😫

Paying for scan photo - cash or card?

Hi ladies. I’ve been told that you now have to pay for your scan photo at the dating scan, they no longer give you one for free. No longer in South Wales anyway. Quick question, do you have to pay with cash or can you pay with card? I don’t have a bank card atm, just Apple Pay 🤦🏼‍♀️ Any help welcome. Thank you…

First scan?

So I found out a week ago I’m pregnant. If I worked it out correctly, I’m over 4 weeks nearly 5. I have health conditions where I’m under a gynae and he said my chances of getting pregnant were low… (I had a miscarriage in 2021) and this pregnancy was unexpected due to what he said. I have filled out a form through ...

Finding life hard

It’s been nearly 8 weeks since my 12 week scan when I was told no heartbeat and had a dnc. I’ve still got ongoing problems with bleeding and having 3-4 scans since, but the hardest thing for me at the moment is being around other people who are close to me & pregnant. I feel awful for feeling it, and when I try to e...
