Urine Test Every Appointment?

Ladies, I’m 27 weeks today, I have my last monthly appointment next Monday when I’m 28 weeks. In all of my monthly appointments, including a follow up from an ER visit that turned out I just had a slight infection, I’ve never had to do a urine test except the first appointment to confirm my already confirmed pregnan...

Anembryonic pregnancy

Made it to our 12 week dating scan full of excitement, which shortly turned into heartache again. The scan revealed a gestational sac with no embryo in side. Feel betrayed and tricked by my body, as I’ve been awfully sick with morning sickness, sore breasts and no spotting or bleeding. Apparently the body releases h...

Nervous after growth scan

Just had my first growth scan at 36+6 and went into it thinking nothing of it as I’d had loads with my daughter who they said was measuring big and she was 9 days late with an induction and only 7lb11. However the midwife kept saying how he’s a big boy and already measuring at 7lb05 with 3 weeks to go saying he coul...

Measuring behind

Hi ladies so I had a scan at 5w3d as I wanted to rule out ectopic. A gestation sac was present but couldn’t see a yolk sac. So I then had another scan today at the EPU, where I thought I was 6w3d, but I’ve only just managed to see a yolk sac and my gestation sac is measuring at 12.6mm so I’m less than 6 weeks instea...

Scans

Hi! First time posting, this is my 3rd baby and according to my dates would be 8+2. I went for an early scan Friday and they said the measurements said 8 weeks exactly which was fine, however you could barely see anything on the scan. I had a scan with my daughter around the same time and it is so much clearer. I ke...

Movements

First pregnancy, 20+2 today. Got my 20 week scan tomorrow and I’m really unsure if I’ve felt any movement. Sometimes I feel little flutters but then I really question myself.. baby is so active on all her scans but really want to feel her move!

Early scans

So I had an early scan at 6 weeks, 9+2 and I have my 12 week scan booked next Wednesday when I will be 11+5. I’m really tempted to book another scan today at 10+3 as I’m just so worried about going next week and then giving me bad news even though everything has been good at my previous 2. I’m not sure if I’m just ...

4D ultrasound with 34 weeks… too late?

I want to see my baby's face but I read that it was recommended to do it between week 28 and 32. If I do it in week 34 will it be worth it? Thanks!!!

Placenta Previa?

Went for my 20 week ultrasound and the dr said “The placenta is Posterior and a previa at this time.” She needs me to go back in 5 weeks for another ultrasound, and it could possibly shift but if not then I wouldn’t be able to give birth naturally I would need a c section. Any moms have this &’ it go away? This is m...
