Hi all, Just reading on nhs web what to expect on 20 weeks scan and it got me worried. Do i need to be? How was your experience?

We find out in 2 days at a private scan when I'll be 13w1d. So excited! Have you found out the gender yet? How did you find out?

Starting to worry something could be wrong as haven’t had a scan since my 12 week nhs one, and not due my 20 week nhs one until beginning of October. I’m 18 weeks + 2 days and felt nothing at all. I know it’s probably normal but I can’t help but feel anxious and that this could be a sign something is wrong.

Is it me or does anyone else not have much of a bump around this time had a scan at 20w everything is normal I just feel like I'm not pregnant especially with having no symptoms from the start

I have a prenatal appointment coming up this week and I'll be 11 weeks, does anyone know at how many weeks they start checking the heartbeat with a doppler? dying to hear it

Hi all had my first growth scan the other day I was around 8 weeks and 1 day now 8+5, baby is healthy and well, however they have found a small cyst on my left ovary? Has anyone else had this and is it anything to worry about? She did say it was just filled with fluid, but can’t help but worry, and will it likely go...

Does anyone know if you can take your toddler into the scans at window to womb with you? 💗🩵

Hey ladies how are you all coping? So I had a 32 week growth scan and baby girl is measuring 5lbs 4oz already! Anyone else had growth scans? What have you measured?

Hear me out!!! Me and my boyfriend are keeping baby 2 a secret until the 12 week scan. I’ve got a blood test tomorrow at 8:50 and it takes 45 minutes by car to get there. We live with my mum and dad, and they’ll question why we’re out so early. What do I say?!

Heya! I’m looking to find others out there that had large readings for their baby, both on the fundal chart and the scans and what your experience has been. Scan shows 97th centile and fundal is much higher. Did they induce early or recommend a c-section? Just keen to get an idea of what could be next.

Finally were able to get in for our first OB visit yesterday and got to check on our little guy!! It’s so insane how quickly they grow. 11+2 during the scan, due 4/2! Will probably schedule a repeat c-section for the end of March! Still haven’t told anyone yet 🫣

Interested to see what you all think... girl or boy?

I have been told previously that I would be having 2 weekly scans. I am 34 weeks now and yesterday I had my scan and the consultant said the fluid around my baby has increased more since two weeks ago and is now 9.9 but then said she would book me in for another scan in three weeks time. I would have thought it wou...

Hi all! I have just booked and paid for a private viability scan when I’m 7 weeks pregnant on 30th September as my anxiety is through the roof! But I have my first midwife appointment on 8th October, I didn’t think to ask if they do a scan or not because I thought we didn’t get one. But I’ve read online that they ca...

Hi all, I have just ordered a Doppler as a little bit of reassurance throughout my pregnancy and I’m just wondering if anyone has used one before. I’ve read the reviews and all looks good but wanting more people’s opinions on this. I’m 9 weeks + 1 so it should pick up something now. I did have a scan at 7 weeks + ...

I’ve got my 20 week scan this week coming so will be finding out gender then, but am interested to get people’s guesses from our 12 week scan photo? 🤔

I saw the results of my anatomy scan online last night. Everything looks normal except baby girl has a very small HC, 3.5% 😥. "Borderline small, likely constitutional." (Whatever that means) My drs call isn't until Tuesday, just trying not to stress too much about it. It says I need to go back in two weeks for…

Had a scan today, gestational and yolk sac seen measuring at 14mm but no fetal pole :( Now I’m really worried. I have a rescan in 2 weeks to see. Has anyone had a similar experience? 🙏

Had an early scan today. Thought i was around 6/7 weeks but it seems only 5/6. Only gestational sac and yolk sac seen, measured at 14mm but no fetal pole :( I’m really worried now and have a 2 week wait to see. Has anyone had a similar experience to this?

Devastated to say we lost our baby, went for a private scan at 9 weeks and was told baby was measuring 8 weeks with no heartbeat. We had a private scan at 6.5 weeks showing the heartbeat so gave us a false sense of hope. I am now booked in for D&C on Monday, and just wondered if anyone could tell me what to expect...
