Date confusion

I went for my scan when I was 12+0 and they said baby is measuring 12+5. Do I continue to count my pregnancy from my original dates or the new dates?

Two vessel Cord

Hi all, were any of your February babies found to have a two vessel cord instead of the usual three? I've just had my 20 week scan and this was detected and I've been booked in for growth scans at 32 and 36 weeks. When I google it I realised how serious it is and now I'm stressed. I never had this with my first (Feb...

Two Vessel Cord

Hi all, at my 20 week scan I got told the umbilical cord only has 2 vessels when it should have 3. Implications could be growth so I've been booked in for growth scans at 32 weeks and 36 weeks. Has anyone else been told this? When I google it I read loads of stuff (issue with heart, kidneys, future problems with org...

Growth scan

Has anyone been induced following a growth scan? I’ve been referred for one tomorrow at 38+6 as it showed that babys growth has slowed slightly on the grow chart. Im not too worried as I know the measurements are usually quite off, but wondering if it’s likely they will recommend an induction 😣

Window to the womb

I’ve got my early reassurance scan later today at window to the womb. Just wondering if anyone has been there for their scan? Do they offer you a scan photo or do you have to pay more for them? I went to a different private scan place with my son so just wondering what to expect here.☺️

Fundal height

Does the fundal height get recorded on Badger? I've been referred for growth scans after my 28-week appt, but she didn't say what the measurement was, and I can't find it anywhere on the app 🙈 I've always had white notes where everything was written then and there for me to take away with me, so the app is…

How did you reveal the gender?

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…

Growth scans

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.

Ultrasound

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💙

Measurements

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...
