Hi :)

I have tested positive last week and it’s my first time plus I don’t have any family in the UK who can give me advice and I can’t tell any friends with kids yet. Can someone tell me what happens next? I have checked the NHS website and it says there to contact my GP asap. I did so and they said they won’t see me un...

Thoughts, opinions and comments: MRI I 100% can’t afford and they won’t give me my xray results.

Firstly, I do have medical insurance. Secondly, I have a high deductible and right now can’t afford any more medical debt as is. ——-I saw a doctor (specialist) recently due to pain in my arm. The pain comes randomly and can stay for 24hr to a whole week (I have had surgery in this area about a 12 years ago by the ...

8 week scan and first midwife appt

Very relieved this morning that little shrimp is doing well. Had 2 previous losses and found this to be a huge relief, although I’m sure the anxiety will come back before my 12 week scan. I thought the dreaded TWW while trying was bad, maybe the wait between scans is even worse 😂 Got my first midwife appt on…

12 week gender guess

I’m now 15 weeks but we’ve had a few people guess the gender based on nub theory looking at our 12 week scan. My husband is really hoping for a boy but I’m thinking this is a girl!

20 week scan

Did anyone else have to go back for 20 week scan as baby wasn’t being cooperative and couldn’t see face? I’ve had a letter and it’s now titled a “detailed anatomy scan” where it was called “anatomy scan” on previous letters. I’m now overthinking lol

32 weeks scan

I just had my 32 week growth scan and baby girl is growing great, however her tummy is on the 97th percentile! Her head is only the 31st percentile!! Legs are average at 53rd percentile. I was just wondering if anyone has previously had a baby measuring with a big tummy? The consultant wasn’t worried but I am😂

4th percentile

Will be going in for an elective c section anyway. My baby is currently measuring on the 4th percentile. I am 35 weeks on Wednesday and have another growth scan this day. If I drop to the 3rd percentile on Wednesday what is the likelihood of them considering dates on when to deliver or is it likely I’ll have to go...

4th Percentile

My baby is currently measuring on the 4th percentile. I am 35 weeks on Wednesday and have another growth scan this day. If I drop to the 3rd percentile on Wednesday what is the likelihood of them considering dates on when to deliver or is it likely I’ll have to go back again at 37 weeks for another scan (as I know ...

Big baby

I had a scan on Friday and my baby is estimated to be 7.3 pounds already at 34 weeks…. They have offered me an induction at 39 weeks but I felt like they were advising against a C section at this point. Has anyone else been told they have a big baby and been advised to have induction earlier?

Was your early gender scan accurate?

Getting a 16 week gender scan this week at 16+3, but now worrying that they’ll get it wrong! Those who did get an early gender scan, did they get it right or wrong for you? Thanks!

Baby’s position

First time mum here (probably obvious) I had a private scan today, I’m 27 weeks pregnant. My baby is currently in a transverse position and pretty much has been in the same position since our first scan, I have been looking online and it says they usually move head down towards the end of pregnancy. Is that usually ...
