I'm due in November but booked in for a c section in October. I had a growth scan today as I do every 4 weeks, however since my last scan baby's abdomen is smaller than my last scan done 4 weeks ago. Everything else seemed to be fine but they have booked me in for an extra scan in 2 weeks time. Should I be worried?...

Hi everyone, I’m 5 weeks and 6 days today and had an early scan at the early pregnancy clinic for a suspected ectopic pregnancy but thankfully everything is fine and baby is doing well with a little flicker of the heart visible 💕💕 I haven’t told many people I’m pregnant but wanted to share the good news somewhere…

Due in November, but it's looking like baby will be here in October. I'm 31 weeks. What appointments are you due to get more bloods taken? As far I was aware after 28 weeks you didn't need to get any more taken but have seen a few people say there's a few more appointments which they take blood. Have a phobia of h...

Old wives tales are pointing at girl.. family saying girl we have gender scan next week 😍 what you ladies think? Xx This was 12week i think xx

Hi can anyone tell me how much are the ultrasounds in GWH and can you pay cash please.

I went to my Obgyn today for an ultrasound and based on my due date I’m 32w1d and my baby weighs 4.2 lbs. The doctor told me the that due date is an estimate based on my period and first ultrasound. The machine shows 34 weeks plus and the baby is a little on the lower side. I’m a little confused - I did ask a lot o...

How do you cope with the wait up to the 20 week scan? I think I’ve felt baby move a bit but not enough for complete reassurance🙈

Had a 14 weeks scan! Any guess on gender

I just had my 36 week scan and I have gained 22kg. I feel disgusting. Anyone else in same boat?

I had my appointment today (I will be 32 weeks this week) and they said my belly is measuring small but within the acceptable limits and it has grown appropriately since my last visit. Anyone else have a smaller bump? My son was 6 pounds 10 oz and they think this baby will also be small, which isn’t anything to be c...

Hi, I’m 34+4 and just received an appointment to go to Manchester (my local hospital is Lancaster) for a scan. I’ve tried to ring my hospital to see what this could be about but the lady on the phone couldn’t help as it’s a Manchester hospital and won’t be on my notes? I’ve tried to ring the number on the appoint...

Has anyone found that fundal height predicts the final weight of you baby accurately? Our little girl was measuring perfectly in the middle at her 20 week scan but I’ve just had my fundal height measured at 29cm which predicts a baby weight of 4kg at 40 weeks! Is this accurate?

Has anyone had an amniocentesis? I've got mine this week and getting nervous. NT was 4.7mm and high chance came back on results 😬

I am panicking slightly after a scan today which was originally for my placenta position. In it they checked the growth as just part of the routine and found he is measuring way above even the 98th percentile (5.5 at 33 +3 weeks). All my bump measurements are 50th percentile and i had a growth scan at 24 weeks for t...

32 weeks scan and extra fluid has been found is this something I should be worried about ?

Hi! Has anyone had a presentation scan for suspected breech on the NHS? If yes did they also measure the baby and their estimated weight as part of this scan?

11 weeks 6 days scan (their hand is on their head)

Hi ladies 👋🏼 Having a private gender scan next weekend, but what are people thinking from the picture, boy or girl 🩵🩷 So excited for our first baby, it’s been quite the ride to get to this point (3.5 years of trying) and I’m still in disbelief that I’m actually pregnant 🤣 My due date is 9th March, what’s…

Does a NIPT show the sex of the fetus ? Asking because I had told the office I wanted the results in an envelope & it looks like I got an email saying my lap corps results are ready I don’t want to click it if it’ll show the gender . I’m trying to contact the office but at the moment no one is picking up .

I have my 20 week scan tomorrow & I’m so nervous that somethings going to be wrong ☹️ it’s consuming me today and I am struggling to concentrate on anything else 🥺
