Early scan and being curvy

Hi all. I have my first scan next week and I’ll be 7weeks + 4 roughly and I am a size 18. I know to go with a full bladder but just worried as I carry weight around my tummy they will struggle. Has anyone had one and been on the curvier side? Thanks x

Early scan

Hi All, I had an early scan last week thinking I was 7+2 and I was measuring as 6 +4 but was in the right place and I got to see the little flickering heart beat 🥹. Just want the next NHS scan to hurry up now so I can check we’re still heading the right way 🤞💕

HCG levels

Hi first pregnancy so have managed to send myself into a panic attack. I went for a private scan last week after I found out I was pregnant and roughly 6 weeks, during the scan they couldn’t find anything but said it could just be too early.

My Pregnancy Notes

I find this website so confusing to use!! 🙈 So I had a midwife appointment on Friday when I was 34+6 and midwife said baby girl was measuring all fine and nothing else really said.

Growth Scan

Has anyone had their baby’s size drop from 50th centile to about the 30th? This was from 28 weeks to 36 weeks. I know there is a margin of error with these scans but it’s making me nervous. These were private scans and I have coincidentally been referred to an NHS scan based on my FH measurement today. Trying not to...

Been told I’m only 24cm when I should be 27cm at 28 weeks

Should I be worried? I have a growth scan at 2:30pm but I’m starting to feel a bit stressed that my belly hasn’t grown. The midwife said because I’m petite it’s most likely normal and they’re just taking precaution. Has anyone else had this?
