Hi everyone, for those that are finding out the gender, are you waiting for your 20 week scan or are you booking in a private one? We know we want to know but I can't decide how best to do it. 17 weeks today. 🥰✨

Just found out the gender yesterday! We opted to do an ultrasound at a private care center as they offer early gender determination starting at 14 weeks. The first thing the ultrasound technician said was "so this was extremely easy for me, and I knew the second I looked" she had 0 doubts! We're having a baby girl...

Has anyone been for their 12 week scan that had already had a private scan and was given an EDD, to then get their 12 week scan snd their EDD change and found out their either further along/ less than they thought they were?

So I’ve got my first ultrasound booked with my fertility clinic at 8 weeks. But I’m soo impatient and wanting to check everything is ok that I have just booked a Window to the Womb ultrasound at 7 weeks. Is it ok to have two ultrasounds only a week apart? I’ve just read online that it’s best to space 4-8 weeks apart...

Hello, I’m currently 6 weeks. Can I please know where in Basingstoke (or nearby areas) I can get a private external scan done?

Had an early gender scan at 15+3. Do we deffo think a boy? 😂

I’m 18 weeks with an anterior placenta. I know this can make it harder to feel movement but I also had an anterior placenta with my 1st and think I started feeling movement around 18/19 weeks with him. I haven’t felt anything yet and wondered if I should be feeling movement by now as it’s my second? I had a 16 wee...

It was confirmed yesterday by early ultrasound that I’m having a baby girl! 🥰 I just want peoples opinions, does this look like a girl as the lady said she was 95% sure it was. Now I’m not going to be mad if it isn’t a girl, as it was my choice to do an early gender scan and I know it’s not always 100%. What’s your…

We saw baby girl in 4D yesterday. It was the most surreal experience ever 🥹 we saw her yawn, and she at some points had her arm over her face & was being shy, but we finally got a few pictures. This is your sign to book that 4D scan 🤰🏽 I was 29w + 4days when I had it done for anyone wanting to book 🐣✨

I am 6 weeks 2 days pregnant, haven’t had my ultrasound yet. When can I know the gender?

Seeing that heartbeat is unreal 💕

Here’s my 12 week scan of my big nosed baby 😂 hoping he/she grows into it over the next 6 months. Any guesses?

Hey everyone, how far along are you all? I’m now 12+1 and had my scan earlier in the week. It was such a relief as I find scans so anxiety inducing.

Hi so I’m currently 5w and 3 days along in my pregnancy after having a mmc on the 15th of July, I should have been 10 weeks I started bleeding and when I went for my scan I was told the baby had no heart beat and was measuring 8 weeks, now what I need advice on is I want to book a scan at 8weeks but I’m unsure if ...

What would you do? I had a private scan which said we were having a boy, then my 20 week scan was about an hour as the baby was curled up, they couldn’t get the measurements they needed but then they finally did! Then I asked at the end about the gender, she said girl…. I was shocked and then she backtracked and s...

I literally have my 12 week scan next week and I’ll be 13 weeks by then I just feel so anxious about everything being okay. Cannot wait to get it over and done with and see that baby is okay and developing well. I had a private scan at 9 weeks and everything was fine it’s just the wait😩 did anyone else feel like…

I find scans so hard to read, do you think this is truly a girl? How do you tell? We had this scan at 16 weeks 5 days. Have our 20 week scan soon and I’m convinced they’re going to say it’s a boy 😂

Hello - when is the best time to have a 4D scan with an anterior placenta? I am almost 27 weeks pregnant

I had an a scan recently and was 9 weeks 2 days. The sonographer said the baby was measuring 9 weeks exactly. This was an IVF baby so dates should be accurate. I’m a little worried about measuring behind for this reason. Has anyone had a similar experience? Xx
