I’ve just found out I’m pregnant with my second, we went to HeyBaby for my first but wondered if anyone has been to the Window to the Womb or any others you recommend?

Can people post their 8 week scan if they had one so I know what to expect? Thank you❤️

Hubby and I have a gender scan booked this weekend, we will be roughly 17 weeks at the scan and are so worried about revealing the gender before confirmation at our NHS 20 week scan. Have heard so many stories of people being told different at each scan 🙈 Guess I have 2 questions… 1. Did you want for confirmation…

Yesterday I had a hospital appointment for baby boy as he was considering small as he was under the line, I’m currently 24+5days pregnant and he’s now weighing 1lb 14oz is this considered normal or too big? The lady who scanned me was not interested in answering mine and my boyfriends questions.

No baby yet, but an ultrasound place near me was offering free ultrasounds to teach their students so I signed up even though I’m due in two weeks…. Baby boys eyes were fully open and blinking during the scan!! How absolutely insane. Can’t wait for this little bundle to be here💙

At my growth ultrasound, the femur measured in the <1%. Did anyone else have a similar result?

Hii! Anyone refusing / refused bump measurements? Personally I don’t believe they are 100% accurate, as the bumps can just be so different for every woman. Also ultrasound is not 100% accurate, plus I don’t really want to get any additional ultrasounds anyway, so not really feeling it. How did it go with you ref...

A bit of fun. This was my 12 week scan, I used the nub theory and was correct, curious to see what other people think. My little one is now 12 weeks old🥰

Hey! My baby has been on profolactins since 3 months old, he’s now 7 months. He’s had an ultrasound all clear but still on the low dose antibiotics. He’s had blood in his urine and positive for leukocytes yesterday, no nitrates so being told this can be normal and not to worry. Told blood in urine could happen due t...

Hi All! Complete my self referral for first appointment with midwife, but said it will be in 4 weeks… im already 4w2d… thought this is a bit late, but they said cannot see me earlier apparently! Does anyone know what blood tests and other tests the first midwife appointment cover?

My hospital called today to book my scan in. She checked the day and time for next week. Then when the text message came through it says it’s a 2 hour appointment?? It most definitely was not 2 hours with my first but that was early 2020. Have things changed that much ?! My appointment is 1:30 so great but I need to...

had my first ultrasound today! not much to see yet but did see the heart flutter. definitely starting to feel real! 🥰 hope everyone is doing well!

I had my 12 week scan this morning, measuring a head at 13 weeks 2 days. Making my EDD 14 September 2025. So excited to see how much baby grew since 8 week scan 💖🫶🏻

I have my scan tomorrow at 8 weeks 5 days, badger notes says to bring urine sample. Did anyone bring one or did you do it while at the appointment?

Let’s hear it!! 💖💙

Hi all I am 28 + 3 days. Yesterday I had a midwife appointment and they did the fundal height tape measurement and it was 26cm. Midwife has referred me for a scan as said baby is measuring too small. I had a scan 3 weeks ago and they said baby was a week bigger than expected, which has confused me. I’ve also been g...

I had my anomaly scan today and baby was snug lying on their belly so the sonographer basically had to push down hard and jiggle my stomach a lot. Baby eventually turned and he managed to do everything he needed to check but now my stomach feels sore like someone has punched me! Worried now hope baby is fine in there🥹

Scan picture was taken at private scan at 16 weeks where we got told it was a boy. Had my 20 week NHS scan today and they said from what they can see they think it’s a girl. After multiple times double checking baby then crossed their legs so we had no luck at confirming the gender. What do we think? It’s definitely...

I just had an nhs scan to check something they picked up on my 12 week scan. Looking like a cyst on the placenta but not causing any harm to me or baby. She also confirmed it might be a boy! Has anyone started to think about names? I haven’t got a clue on boy names

Hoping for some reassurance… I went for a growth scan today at 34+2 and have been told that baby is measuring big at 97th centile. He is 2880g (6lb5oz) At 32 weeks he was 4lb 12oz They now want to test me for diabetes and have said it could lead to me needing an induction or c section I was always low risk and e...
