I had my 12 weeks can today everything looks fine except the fetal nuchal translucency which is too much fluid behind babys neck it was measuring at 3.7mm and they said anything above 3.5 is too much. Anyone else in this situation?

Anyone have experience with a chorionic bump? This was noted on my first ultrasound. The sonographer didn’t seem concerned but researching it shows there is an increased risk of miscarriage. Wondering if anyone else had this in previous pregnancies or current, it’s a pretty rare finding.

I am 35 weeks pregnant, due end of November. Yesterday I went for my growth scan and the consultant has told me my baby’s head is measuring larger than what they expect in the normal range. She referred me to fetal medicine unit for more tests. I am very worried about this as this could be something serious or maybe...

20 week scan in comments

My OBGYN wants to check my cervix at my next appointment (Monday October 21). I am gonna be 36 weeks on Monday. Do you think it’s too early to check? My friends had their checked at 38 and 39 weeks. They said it hurt.

So I’ve heard with the 20 weeks scan on the NHS they don’t do anything gender reveal related not even hide the gender in an envelope even if asked, is this true? A family member went private at 16 weeks for the gender is this common?

I’ve just been contacted for my first appointment with the midwife, and I will be 10 weeks by then, I booked a private scan for week 7, but am I overthinking things that 10 weeks is quite late before I speak to a midwife?

Hey ladies So I have a scan tomorrow I will be 6+5 according to first day of last period. I'm so scared I don't see heartbeat 💗 as I had a previous miscarriage. Can anyone share there experiences of early scans ? X

I had my 20 week scan last week and have been asked to go back in today because the baby was positioned so the sonographer couldn’t see his spine in full or his side profile - she said she had ruled out any issues though so that’s reassuring! I was wondering if at the rescan they’ll check everything again, or just ...

Hello, reaching out for some advice and comfort really, just wondering if anyone had they’re pregnancy 12 week scan to check the fluid around the back of baby neck and anyone been higher that than 3.5mm as mine was 5mm. I had my bloods taken and they have come back high and my Down syndrome was 1 in 132 and Edwards ...

Has anyone been diagnosed with polyhydramnios? Had a scan yesterday at 37+5 and baby’s fluid is 8.1 normal range is between 2-8 which is bloody typical! I’ve had 2 previous natural births but induced. Has anyone been told they need an induction with the condition? I’ve got a consultation appointment on Wednesday so ...

My scan is coming up, will the NHS put the gender in an envelope if you asked?

Had our gender scan yesterday but the reveal isn’t until 27th and I’m impatient 😂

I had my 12 weeks scan last week and the baby refused to turn and was laying on its stomach. The sornographer kept asking me to wiggle and pressing on my stomach to see if the baby would turn but my baby was probably asleep as it was 9am. I’m sad because I don’t know if I can guess the gender or not. Would have bee...

Going to my 20 week scan alone ? Any advice on what to expect ?
