I know I'm biased, massively. But our first private one, baby looked like a little prawn. Second, it was slightly before 12 weeks and they looked like Homer Simpson 😂 this one at 15 weeks is the cutest thing I've ever seen. We also found out what we are having 🥹🥹🥹 look at their little nose! It's my first pregnancy…

Second baby I’m so sick of waiting to find out gender. First time was so much easier, I’m so so impatient. I’ve got 4 weeks to go. Am I going to book an earlier scan? No. Am I going to wait? Yes. Just wanted to get that off my chest.

I must have big babies or something, cuz holy crap. Due date was April 29th according to 3 scans, 1 scan measured due May 5th so we went with that one for longer time given before intervening if he wants to stay put. So I’m technically on 32 weeks. Big brother was born 37+1 at 9#10oz. He was estimated 13+# if he...

Had an awful nights sleep and now wide awake worrying about things. Got my 38 week scan today. already been booked for induction as on previous scans baby is big and I have polyhydraminos. I’ve had a successful previous induction and it was a good experience for me but I’m worried based on previous conversations wit...

So had to go back for an ultrasound because they couldn’t get the baby’s spine in the last ultrasound I’m currently 22 weeks and 5 days while she was doing the ultrasound she told me my cervix is measuring a little low did a little more thorough check and said my cervix is closed but baby is measuring low. My doctor...

Is a 6lb 8oz a big baby at 36 weeks? I went for scan and was told that. Baby’s tummy is 87th % they said on the bigger side. What were you at 36 weeks?

I had q private scan last Friday due to pain and i have a nhs scan this friday. Is a week apart ok

Has anyone any tips on how to get a clear scan picture? Or is it just luck of the draw? :) Also, any key things to ask? We've got our 12 week scan Thursday, can't wait but nervous too!! Thank you ❤️

My son is 8 weeks today and we had our check up at the gps this afternoon. She weighed him to be 4.54kg and wrote that down in his book, but when she plotted it on his chart she marked him as 5.45kg, which put him on the 50th percentile and she just said he’s gaining weight well etc. when I looked at home and reali...

Anyone know if I am supposed to avoid the scanner and do the regular metal detector? Or the other way around?

Has anyone had their gender scan yet? Was the nub theory correct? I’m getting so impatient but still few weeks to go until I find out the gender of my little one

Got my 12 week scan tomorrow (at 12 weeks 6 days and I’m nervoussss 😭

Has anyone else been told their baby's tummy is measuring bigger than the rest of their body? The sonographer today had 2 other people check baby's measurements and I waited in the waiting room.. she said baby's tummy was larger than other measurements so someone else is going to double check baby's measurements. S...

Follow up on my 20 week scan. I came back 4 weeks later for a second ultrasound bc they couldn’t get good pictures of baby’s heart or profile. I was told then that they suspect my baby has a small hole in his heart but that it is fairly common in pregnancy and should close before I deliver him or in the first week o...

How crazy is it that it’s basically a year on since we all went for our 12 week scan 😳 Such a bitter sweet moment, makes me sad at the same time!

Hiya, not sure if this has been asked before but can you bring your toddler to a nhs scan scan?

what did everyone else’s scans look like at 7w 6d 🤍

Find out the gender in 2 days but I am too impatient 🫣 This is my second but I honestly can’t tell from the scan - can anyone tell from this scan? Xx

Wanting to book a private gender scan for 15 weeks, can anyone recommend from personal experience please? With my first we went to Early Days in the town centre but they’re booked up now til I’m nearly 18 wks so definitely want to try find somewhere else! Thanks ☺️
