After waiting two weeks to see how things progress after our first scan we went for our follow up reassurance scan today and saw two perfect heartbeats! Feeling so overwhelmed and happy 💕

Should I stress if I struggle to find it?

I have no idea, every week I think something different. What do we think after 12 week scan? Boy or girl?¿💗💙

Had an early scan today and they found area of bleed near baby, has anyone experienced this? Will attach report

Hi all. I have a fibroid which I was aware about before pregnancy, it was only small (3cm ish) and has never been a worry at any of my scans, it’s at the top of my uterus on the fundus and not in baby’s way apparently. However at my last midwife appointment (25 weeks) she was baffled that no one had put me with a co...

So I’m currently 10 weeks pregnant. I have been trying to guess the gender of my baby since getting this ultrasound. I’ve tried all of the old folk tales to see what I’m having the ring and a string sitting on a fork or spoon pissing in baking soda lol and I am just so curious on what I’m having. I have 3 girls alre...

We had 2 chemical pregnancies after our first pregnancy which had no complications. I’ve been feeling anxious this time and just taking each day by day but wondering if anyone in a similar boat is planning an early scan, and if so when is a good time? Not sure I can wait 12 weeks to find out all is ok even if I know...

Hi, I just found out I’m pregnant and would like to go to a private scan (for gender) do you have to book way in advance or close to when you want it? I’m looking to go sometime before Christmas! Thank you! 🫶🏼

When do we receive our matb1 certificate I’m 25 plus 5 and still not received it and midwife hasn’t mentioned it either

Are there any success stories of baby measuring a few days behind on a scan at 6 weeks and catching up or it being a successful pregnancy? Heartbeat seen and it was not internal

To anybody that’s had one. What’s usually involved in the 16 week appointment? My partner will struggle to be there but I don’t think he will miss much? We’ve been told we will hear baby’s heartbeat. But when I’ve asked other people they have said they never did. Is it just a general check up?

We attended a growth scan yesterday where baby looks good, from measurements collaboratively appears to be on the 11th percentile. However baby's head circumference is measuring small since my last scan 3 weeks ago, sitting just under the 5th percentile. I've been referred to a consultant. I guess where baby is ...

Hello! I have my 12 week scan at Southmead on Tuesday. My friend had hers there recently and said she only wanted one photo as they were £5 each. They said they print in strips of 4 so only charged her for one but gave her all 4. Is this other people’s experience too? I don’t want to say I’ll pay for 4 if I can get ...

What do people think, boy or girl? I'm due in 4 weeks and we don't know the sex! This was the 12 week scan! Xx

So, at my 32 week scan baby was measuring 21st percentile, at my 36 week scan (I was actually 35+1) baby was measuring 29th percentile, 5 lbs 7oz on my notes. I've just been to the MAU (for BP issues) and the midwife felt my tummy and said 'oh big baby' and I said really?! I said my last scan baby was measuring 29th...

I’m nearly 15 weeks with my 2nd, I’ve had 3 scans but I’m not showing still, no movement and I’m just in that awkward stage of my next scan. Everything was fine at my 12 weeks but just still got heightened anxiety over if everything is okay 😅 my sickness is very much telling me I’m pregnant but that’s about it.…

I had a private scan today for babies gender. I told them I didn’t want to know and they put it in an envelope for me but also done a few scan photos for me just in general. I’ve been looking at the scan photos and 2 of them are in 4D and I’m almost certain I can see babies private parts! I’m actually gutted if it i...

Anyone else been really disappointed with their 4D scan? Baby wasn't playing ball so we had to go a half hour walk, came back in and he just kept his hands on his face and we got photos but they just weren't clear or decent but they didn't offer us re-scan.. Anyone else felt disappointed after?

Had my booking appointment last week and now waiting for my letter confirming my 12 week scan. I’m away for a couple of weeks over the time frame the midwife said the scan will be so I’m scared I’ll miss the appointment! How soon did everyone get their letter confirming their date for the 12 week scan?

Anyone who has been told they are gonna have a girl but ended up a boy? In 20w scan this week, sonographer told us ‘I think it is a girl’ but she didn’t sound very confident. Scan picture is below. Your comments appreciated 🌸
