Gender

Any 12 weekers know what they’re having yet? I’m 12w 4d and still waiting on the blood test results! I have a 4yr boy and hoping it’s a girl this time around 🤞💞

Took a clear blue test with the weeks indicator and last Sunday it said 2-3

I took another one today to see if it was able to detect I was 5 weeks plus and it is still saying 2-3. I am getting very worried thinking that my pregnancy hasn’t progressed and I’m going to go to my scan on Friday being told bad news. Please tell me someone else has experienced this and everything was ok😭

Too early?

Do you think a private scan at 5+4 would be too early for a heartbeat? Should I move the scan?

Early scan

Hi all, just had an early pregnancy scan and I’m showing at 6w2d instead of 7w2d. No fetal pole or yolk sac and she has advised us to come back in 2 weeks time… any positive stories of returning and seeing something? 😢 I’m going away next week and so worried.

Only having 2 scans... is my baby okay?

I had 1 at 12 weeks and one at 20 weeks. They said everything seems good but I can't help but worry. 20 weeks -40 weeks is such a long time and so much could happen. How do people feel comfortable after having only 2 scans?

Noticed the sonographer that was calling people in wws a male and just looked very non approachable as in moody type and as I was alone I just ...

I was a little thrown off because 21…
