No space for a scan

I’m considered high risk pregnancy - I’m 42 and my first baby and this baby are measuring small. I was supposed to have a scan next week, but it turns out the consultant forgot to schedule it and after 3 days of calling, I managed to get through. The receptionist said they are fully booked and they can put me on a w...

Hi Mama’s! Hope you’re all okay!

I’ve had an appointment and I’m 31 weeks but baby looks to be measuring 33/34 weeks and is above the 97th centile, has accelerated off the graph lines. Is anyone else in the same or similar position? This is my second baby but didn’t have this with my first so I don’t know what to expect! Growth scans are being boo...

Girl or Boy Guesses? 🩵🩷

I found out I was pregnant unexpectedly and told at my dating scan within the same week Im 12 weeks already! (12w 4d now) (Not quite what I expected after being told I was unlikely to have children at the age of 18, and having a miscarriage at 17! ) In my dating scan they’ve said everything looks good and healthy...

12 weeks

Just had my 12 weeks scan, and baby was doing great, with a HR of 157, but I have so much anxiety waiting 4-5 more weeks to see them again 🙈 Anyone else feel like this between scans? I have been on progesterone and just recently stopped taking it, so that freaks me out as well 🙈

Blood tests after dating scan

Just had my first dating scan today and had to have a blood test to check my baby's blood type (I'm O- and Rhesus negative so they need to check if baby is the same!). Nurse told me the results would update on my Badger app and to let them know if I haven't heard anything... Realistically how long should I expect to...

36 week scan

So I had my 36 week growth scan today. All previous scans have show baby is growing at the right rate and all is good. Last couple of midwife appointments bump has been slightly above 50th centile but not massively. Today’s scan shows baby’s head at over the 75th centile. Legs were a little longer than expected but...

UK based question

Once an assessment has been completed, will I get a call with the diagnosis or invited in for a meeting to discuss, or will I receive a letter with their diagnosis and findings? Or all of these things? Thanks xx

Private Early Scans

I was thinking of paying to have a 9 week scan as I am so nervous waiting for my scan with the NHS (which I will be 13 weeks for). Has anyone else done this when waiting for the NHS scan? If so, was it a good idea?
