Currently 25+4 with baby number 3, my first baby with my new partner. This time I have an anterior placenta and was just wondering if anyone has the same and has had a good 4D scan? I am also a bigger girl so just worried the picture won’t be good! I had 4D scans with my other two which were great but the placenta...

Does anyone else feel as though their due dates are wrong?? I know the day I conceived and the day of my last period.... At the booking appointment the lady told me I was about 12 weeks but then at my first scan, they said I'm actually 8 weeks. I feel as though the first lady at my booking scan was right as my las...

Hello, for those approaching 12 weeks, when is everyone getting their scan dates ? Anyone gettting appointments for 13+ or just after 12?

Hi everyone! I’m a new here. I would like to connect with moms for support or advice. I delivered baby boy two month ago, but my anxiety didn’t go away and it’s became even worse..

Has anyone else had a call to say you have low Papp a? I got a call after my 12 week scan and they said they can’t do much till my 20 week scan (25th October) and to just take aspirin.

Basically I have gone for a 4D scan today to see baby girls beautiful face in more detail, typically she had both legs and arms up near her face so it wasn't possible, however the lady doing the scan mentioned me having an anterior placenta and that it's harder to get a good shot because the placenta gets in the way...

Hi, I saw a post on another page, that in some places, they won’t write the gender down on a piece of paper and will only tell you verbally. I’m having a gender reveal party, and was really counting on being able to hand a piece of paper to a friend that’s organising the party, but now I’m worried they might not do ...

When should you get a early scan! Waiting for the NHS one is far away any help would be appreciated? X

8 days old today and waiting for the genetic test results (a microarray) to confirm. After initially saying a few months, the consultant said they should take a week. How long did they take for others and how did you receive the results? I know they’ve gone to Birmingham hospital. We really don’t know whether she ...
