Hello! Please any advice is so much appreciated. Had a check up today and on a 26 week scan baby is measuring small and Ian being referred the foetal medicine unit has this happened to anyone else? Google has me running wild with all that could be wrong.

Can you guys advise what your baby’s estimate weight on growth scans was vs how much they actually weighed at birth? Just had my 36w scan and baby is weighing 6 lb 12 apparently 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hiya, First time mum, when is the best time to book a 4d scan, I have a posterior placenta, thanks x

I had my 38 week appointment with midwife on Monday and I explained to her how badly I’m itching all over (body feels like I have rolled around in stinging nettles) she took bloods to test me for cholestasis. I had a phone call this evening from the community midwife who has confirmed one of my blood results have c...

Hey ladies! Went for an early reassurance scan today and they found the heartbeat of the baby - who was very small! 0.37 cm! They also found an ovarian cyst which measured at 4.7cm!! She said she thinks it’s a simple cyst but now my brain is working over time! Anyone been in this position before? Thanks!

Hey all. Just had my 36 week scan and babies head is measuring slightly small. My last scan was at 28 weeks and it was measuring slightly below the 50th percentile and this scan it’s significantly lower than that. Not sure if I should be worried or what this means? :( For reference BPD - (biparietal diameter HC...

Hiya can anyone tell me how much Southend hospital charges for the 12 week scan, and is it cash only? X

Hey, I went to my growth scan and my baby is measuring small. He’s 2kg at 35 weeks and should be around 2.4 - 2.5. I have another scan booked in next week. Am I likely to be induced, if so when. I feel like the Dr was not trying to stress me and kept the information very vague.

Hello ladies! I'm currently 5 weeks and I was thinking about booking an early scan when I'm 7+w but wanted to know if anyone has had one before and it went ok? I remember with first pregnancy, when I had the scan at 13 w, they wrote about difficulties to see the fetus due to my weight.. so not sure if it's even w...

Has anyone had a baby measuring on the 3rd percentile? I’m 28 weeks and had a growth scan yesterday that revealed baby has dropped down to 3rd percentile and now I have to have scans every week to see how he goes. Iv had quite a few scares during this pregnancy and this just feels like another worry! I hardly slept ...

Hello ladies. Consistently through my last 3 growth scans our little boy has been measuring above the 90th percentile. My scan yesterday (34weeks +4) advised 99.5 percentile. Now more likely than not I will be faced in three weeks time at my last growth scan with a decision between induction or Caesarian section. ...

When i had my LG last yr there was a machine opposite the entrance to pay for scan photos but i went in the other week with her and noticed the machine not there, im expecting my 2nd and wondered when i go in for my scan has the machine moved or are they now free?

Hey ladies! So today I had my 36 Week ultrasound and Group B Test done. While my physician was down there I let him know that I wanted to get my cervix checked.

Have my ...

I had a ultrasound today at 34w 3d and baby boy is head down in my cervix good. Weighing a little over 5lbs and measuring right on point. Definitely feeling the pressure and Braxton hicks. I don’t think we are going to make it to 10.28 but we will see. How are y’all doing mamas?!?

So once they tell you the baby’s weight off an ultrasound, I know it is not accurate from what I have heard. Is it ALWAYS more than the amount they say or it could be LESS too ? Anyone know this ? This would be my first baby so I do not know and I finally get my first and last weight told today at my last ultrasoun...
