I’ve just found out I am pregnant and keen to book an early scan. Can anyone recommend anywhere local?

So I’ve just been for a scan as I have consultant today and they’ve said baby is fully breech at the moment is there anything I can do to try get baby to move My first baby was head down form 20 weeks😂

I have paid for an early 8 week scan tomorrow, what can I expect? Is it internal or external? Thanks :-)

Hi, how was everyone’s experience ? Also is it an external or internal scan?

Hey! Does anybody know if King George’s will write down the gender from our 20 week scan so we can do a gender reveal? Was going to give them a call but thought there might be some ladies that have done it recently so thought I’d ask here first!

I was 28 weeks for mine and had it at Numi Scan. Was so special

People in the UK where are you getting blood tests for HCG? Called my GP and receptionist was quite condescending like oh hun we don't do that pregnancy tests are enough. Kind of speaking to me like I'm stupid but everything I've seen is people going to GP for blood tests? I've sent of referral to midwives but obvi...

Had our 20 week scan last week, we’ve decided to keep the gender a surprise. What do we think 🩷 or 🩵 xx

So I went to have growth scan yesterday and was told everything’s fine and baby is okay , but they wanted a review on my blood flow for the placenta and now I’m worried? They monitoring me every week and I’m going for growth scans every 2 weeks 🙈 I hope everything’s okay just worried little one not getting enough…

Hi ladies, So I got told on my 20 week scan that baby boy has a 2 vessel umbilical cord. He is growing nicely though, so she seemed very reassuring. I get extra scan so I guess that's reassuring too as they're keeping an eye on him. I just want advice if anyone else has had the same thing? I did the dreaded Google y...

Went to the FMD (Fetal Medicine Doctor) yesterday. I am in fact 33 weeks and 3 days (not 36-37 weeks). We got to see baby girl as well. We have to go back in three weeks to get more measurements and scans just to make sure everything is good. The FMD was upset that we didn’t see him sooner (I didn’t get the referral...

I had an NHS scan at 6 weeks and saw the heart beat :)

Hi, I’m not sure if this is something to worry about or not. This is my first pregnancy, when I went into my viability scan I was estimated at 8 weeks and 4 days but based on babies length I was only 7 weeks….. is that normal or should I be concerned. Also having no pregnancy symptoms beside tender breasts. So the a...

I’m officially 32weeks today, due November 21st and haven’t been told how much my baby weighs or estimated weight bare in mind at my 12week & 20week scan I was told my baby is weighing behind…so how do I go about this as it’s really been stressing me out and no one’s giving me answers

Scan is from 13+3

So my midwife checked the heartbeat and had a brief feel of my tummy and her words where ‘I think the baby is breech’ and said if it’s still breech at my 36 week appointment I will need a scan. It all seems very blazé and not sure what to do! It may or may not be breech, if I do excersizes to attempt to move it can ...

I was 12 weeks 1 day here when she was scanning me I instantly felt boy but the pics are feeling girly to me🤣I have no idea I knew straight away with my daughters 12 week scan there was no denying the girly vibes but this one I’m struggling🤣x Thank you in advance🫶

i was so confused by my ultrasound photo i got yesterday until i realized that’s her thumb in her mouth 😭😭😭 i was literally going “what’s that by/on her face” for a whole 30 min. thought it was cute and wanted to share <3

How soon can doctors tell you gender through ultrasound

Have been thinking about this as we only have 2 scans through the NHS how will they know what’s the actual position of the baby in the day that we go into labour? Do they do a scan in the hospital? I’m starting to get a bit anxious with all of these silly questions
