Community Posts, Tips & Support on Pregnancy Scans

Had my booking appointment last week and now waiting for my letter confirming my 12 week scan. I’m away for a couple of weeks over the time frame the midwife said the scan will be so I’m scared I’ll miss the appointment! How soon did everyone get their letter confirming their date for the 12 week scan?

Anyone who has been told they are gonna have a girl but ended up a boy? In 20w scan this week, sonographer told us ‘I think it is a girl’ but she didn’t sound very confident. Scan picture is below. Your comments appreciated 🌸

I’ll post another pic in the comments - my scan was really rubbish so understand if no guesses can be made x

Would it be possible for them to see the gender at 15 weeks at a private scan ?

Hey ladies, I’m just wondering how many people had a transverse baby + a low lying placenta & if their placenta moved up? Trying to figure out why the likelihood of me having to have little man earlier is. My 32 week scan is next week to check but I am impatient and thought I’d ask if anyone else had a similar ex...

Finally got my 3+ this morning✨ now just to wait until my early scan on Wednesday 🤞🏼

I had my bloods appointment yesterday, at 28+1. When it was time to listen to baby girl’s heartbeat, I knew something was wrong by the way my midwife was looking, and she says “did you hear that” I then start to panic: The midwife found an irregular heartbeat for baby girl, and called it ectopic heartbeat, which I ...

Hey guys I’ve just been for a fetal medicine scan and they’ve told me l there’s a high chance baby has downs I’m already 29 weeks pregnant and this has not been mentioned before … I just really don’t know how to feel about the whole situation they gave me ‘ options ‘ I could take if he is but I just feel so lost x

Was told yesterday that my little boy has been having seizures again while on intensive care he is having a scan on Monday , am I within my right to ask intensive care not to discharge my son until further tests are done?

I had a growth scan at 38 weeks yesterday, and baby is predicted to be massive (12lbs already!). This is a huge jump from my growth scan four weeks ago, at which baby measured 6lbs. Is it possible this is correct?! Can a baby really gain 6lbs in four weeks do we think? For context, I don't have gestational diabe...

13 weeks + 1 on this scan - have no idea what I’m looking for!

How soon did yall see a baby in the gestational sac im 5weeks and 5days today I have an ultrasound Monday so I’ll be 6weeks

I have an early private scan booked for tomorrow morning, from first day of last period I should be 8 weeks. I’d really appreciate some positive experiences please! ❤️ my friend was meant to be coming with me but now I’ve got in my own head if something is wrong so I’d rather be on my own. This is my rainbow baby 🌈🤍

I’m just about 28 weeks and my Dr. hasn’t even touched me yet. I find this weird. This is not my first child but he is a new Dr to me. He’s an old Dr. This will also be my third child section and after reading I see how much risk that goes along with that. He didn’t seem like it was an issue when I brought it up. I ...

So I just went to my 8 week ultrasound and they could see the Gestational sac, but the embryo was not visible… Should I be worried or take precautions? Of course I know it is really early in pregnancy but I also know during this time it’s more likely to have a miscarriage. Please someone shine some light on this sit...

This is a long one, so sorry in advance: I am at the vale of leven but booked for birth at RAH. Unfortunately I have struggled a lot with getting simple things like urine tests done by my GP throughout my pregnancy and reception staff gatekeeping so it's hard to get Doctors apps or speak to one. The last straw was...

So his abdomen is measuring 37wks and his head is measuring 39+5wks😭 he’s already 7lbs and in the 78th percentile 🤯 a bit nervous for how much bigger he’s gonna get and how i’m gonna push this boy out. also he has a TONN of hair they said and he’s head down🙏🏼🙏🏼

Did anyone have a scan at 9 weeks with a photo of what that looked like? 🥰

Hi looking for some advice/reassurance. I went for a private scan last week and the sonographer noticed some fluid in babies left kidney. It was measuring 6.5mm, I contacted my midwife and they wanted to scan me to check for themselves, it is now measuring 9.4mm which is near the 10mm bracket. I have been referred t...

What’s your thoughts? I don’t have the instructions for this particular test. Will be ordering a digital though.
