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

Had a early gender scan today, and I'm really happy with the result but I'm also not 100% sure.. they showed my 3 lines on the scan and it did look girly but the photo has me doubting. Thoughts?

Good luck to all the upcoming 20week scan ladies 💛

I had an early scan at what should have been 7 weeks . Baby was only measuring 5. At this point my hope that all was okay was very low . I had on off bleeding but now Iv had it for 2 weeks my next scans tomorrow. I have a feeling still all is not good . If they give me a confirmed miscarriage tomorrow should I go s...

Hi all, just after a bit of advice of anyone that might have been in the same situation? I’m 6 weeks pregnant with twins!! (It’ll be 3 under 2! 😬) I went for an early scan a few days ago which said I was 5 weeks and 5 days. Heartbeat was found for one twin but no obvious heartbeat for the other. I’ve been told not…

Yesterday I had my 12 week NHS scan and they were unable to do the screening for the 3 syndromes due to the way baby was positioned. They’ve now offered me just a blood test for Down Syndrome at 15 weeks which the sonographer even said isn’t a reliable test. It has really stressed me out, has anyone been successf...

Hello, almost 6 weeks here & still in disbelief. 🙄 does anyone know how private scans work in UK/ any suggestions of affordable centers? Will it only be transvaginal or would I have the option of an external scan? xx

Hi all, has anyone been given their 12 week scan appointment yet? I have a private scan next week and wondering whether to tell my parents and other close family or wait the extra 4 weeks for the 12 week scan. Does it come in the post or do the midwives give you a date?

What is the likelihood they will write the gender down for you at this scan? I’m planning on doing a gender reveal but I’ll be going to my scan alone

I went for my 12 week scan the other day and they said I was measuring at 13 weeks so that was exciting! This is my second pregnancy as I already have a little boy. We are going to book a private gender scan in the next few weeks but for now, what are your thoughts…boy or girl? 😊

One week passed since embryo transfer ...and one more week to go ..I am getting restless and freaking out ...one day I hv some symptoms and other day I have no symptoms...it's the longest two week wait..I am stopping myself to do home pregnancy test..just need your prayers

I had my 20 week scan and they have said baby’s head is smaller than average but fine. I can’t help but worry and stupidly googled things which has make me feel worse… Wondering if anyone has been told the same or has been in a past pregnancy but baby was just maybe small? It’s also now got me wondering if I’m may...

I’ve been booked for an emergency scan cos of the rate of growth. I’m 37 weeks on Monday and have always been measuring slightly ahead but just been for my last measurement and he’s off the chart measuring 44cm when I should really be measuring at 36cm. They can’t determine his position either which is weird because...

Yawning away. Still over the top about how clear the images were on screen- luckily I snapped a few good ones with my phone... but then when I got a few print outs they were garbage... 🙄 I'm like I know the specialist doesn't care because she sees hundreds a week, but come on....

Anyone else finding out the gender at their 20wk ultrasound?

Has anyone here had an ectopic pregnancy and discovered it early? I went you urgent care for back pain that I thought was kidney pain, turns out I'm pregnant. I've been having really serious back pain/pain in my hips especially on my right. I think I'm only 4 weeks but I'm in a lot of pain and so god damn scared. I'...

How far along do you think I am? She wouldn’t give no deets😭 she said it’s too early to see the gender too

So I never really went to the doctor before getting pregnant so this may be a common occurrence. Also I am obese and I am aware of that. But when I’m at the doctor they look at everything and ask how I’m feeling and say everything looks good and my blood pressure is good etc. I am doing an ultrasound every week...
