Community Posts, Tips & Support on Pregnancy Scans

I have my 36 week midwife appointment today every time I’ve been over the last 2 weeks I’ve been referred for a growth scan due to small growth. However the last time I went baby was actually measuring big and I’ve been asked to go back for a scan on the 3rd of October Do you think if my bump is measuring small aga...

Did anyone get given a surgery date without having a growth scan? I missed my scan yesterday due to illness and my consultation appointment is tomorrow to hopefully get a date for surgery but I've seen a few ladies on here now that got their date AT their scan. Had a nightmare last night that they booked me in for ...

I had a US scan at 7w6d and the result showed a fetal pole measuring 7w3d, heart rate of 161, and complex fluid in the cervical canal/lower aspect of the uterus. Does anyone have similar experience? Should I be worried about SAB because of the fluid? I had an episode of bright red spotting prior to that ultrasound a...

Got an 8 min video of my boy today and this little clip of him trying to open up his eyes made it REALLY hit me like HOLY SH*T THERES A WHOLE A** BABY IN THERE?? like this is not some little egg embryo thing anymore that’s a whole ass human in me idk im emotional and wanted to share since im a single mom and have no...

Hi I am five weeks and four days pregnant and I have no bump not even a small on and I went to the doctor maybe a day ago and she said it is to early to hear the baby’s heart beat. I have seen other people talk about how they have a bump and can hear the baby’s heart beating.

I’m 33 weeks tomorrow, today we went for our second attempt for our 4d ultrasound. The ultrasound tech measured our boys femur bone and it’s measuring 30 weeks and one day. Has anyone else experienced this? Could that mean our due date is incorrect?

So I went to the ER and they did a vaginal ultrasound said the baby wasn't far enough along to have a heartbeat they then did blood work to check my HCG levels when it came back it was 10,136 is this normal for not being far enough along for a heartbeat to be detected with an HCG level as high as that. I also put th...

You guys….I just did the 4d ultrasound and I must say I’m a little concerned!!! LOL. My baby’s face looks interesting. His nose looks GIGANTIC. I have anterior placenta and the tech did say he was crammed in there.. but did anyone else experience this? Specifically with the nose? Maybe I did the 4D too late in the j...

31 +2 and had a growth scan today and baby is estimated to weigh 4 1/2 lbs already! Has anyone else had a recent scan, what was your weight?

How do you know/determine baby is doing okay when your symptoms are all dropping off but no scans? Do follow up midwife appointments include them checking baby’s heartbeat with a Doppler?

Is this a thing? I thought it was 16 weeks? I was told about the 14 week appointment at my booking appointment at 10 weeks. So i guess its routine but i’m confused about the timing. Will they use the doppler at this appointment? I’m desperate to know that baby is ok and I cant keep booking private scans…but the anx...

Do you get told the findings of the scan there and then or do you have to wait and how long?

Hey, I’m Tanya! I’m pregnant with my second and due April 27th, I’m 8 weeks and 2 days. Just had my ultrasound confirming one baby and a strong heartbeat 168bpm🥹 I’m honestly miserable this pregnancy, morning sickness lasts all day long every day🤢 and fatigue is real. Definitely harder than my previous pregnancy.…

I've started today with tingling down my left arm. Phoned EPU and they've told me that they won't see me (previous had missed miscarriage and symptoms with shoulder pain) Has anyone has tingling down their arm and everything be OK? I have booked a private scan tomorrow but at 1pm. My anxiety is through the roof. 😪

I have my booking appointment tomorrow and have no idea what to expect! Anyone already had theirs? I know they will weigh me but will they do bloods? Urine? Will I get any info about my baby tomorrow or just general info? Thanks!

Has anyone had 30 week growth scan and can tell me what their numbers were? And also amniotic fluid? Mine says 4.3cm - Normal but Google says anything below 5 is bad.

Hello i wanted some advice on where to find affordable 4D scan places, if anyone knows some please let know.

Hi all, I've always been challenging to bleed, but for my bloods at my dating scan they couldn't get any and I had to go back a week later for an anaesthetist to do it 🤦‍♀️ I make sure I'm hydrated and warm before the appointment, but doesn't seem to help. Just wondering if anyone's got any other tips I could try.

Does anyone know of any private scan that we can go? Stourbridge/ Dudley area. Many thanks

Went for my scan today I’m 39 weeks pregnant and was informed she’s estimating at 8IBS 14 oz 🥲😅😂
