We had one at 26w2d with our first and got some lovely pictures of his face.
My husband said he didn’t want to bother this time.
I do think the whole appointment felt a bit rushed and short for the amount of money it cost though !

I don't want to find out. It's one of the few surprises you get in this life. I like the idea of finding out at birth. I'm actually worried I'll spoiler it fir myself my seeing the gender at the scan.
I had one at 28, almost 29 weeks. The place went to says between 26-32 weeks but guess it depends where you go.
We absolutely loved seeing her face, and seeing her moving about. Ours was really clear & it definitely helped me feel like this was actually happening after years of infertility & loss. Like now I’ve seen her face she’s a real person if that makes sense?
We did it at 29+2 and it was amazing. Baby came out looking just like the scan.
We’d done it for the grandparents, I was a bit take or leave it but so glad we did.
ETA - I’d read 29wks was too late but we got excellent results. Pic available for 12 hrs @RoseyThorney

With my first baby i had a 4d scan a bit late i think i was almost 33 weeks and i deffo regretted not going sooner as her face was all smushed cos she was so comfy and low and i had an anterior placenta. Ive got my 4d scan booked in this time for 27 weeks and again i have an anterior placenta but hoping because im going earlier this time baby 2 wont look as smushed… thats if they stay still long enough 
theyre a right wriggler!

We didn't find out until the birth but I've always, always wanted girls, not boys. So to have a little boy presented to you was a bit of a shock and I did really struggle with accepting/bonding with him (though tbf I have a history of tit mental health anyway, hormones hit me like a brick at the best of times and I am prone to anxiety and depression). But I do truly believe you get given the baby you need, not the baby you want!
If we have another and it's not a girl, I will be a bit sad I think, it feels like there's some special things you get with girls that you don't with boys. Your first grandkid is slightly different if they're your daughters, not your sons, you don't get to do the wedding dress shopping, or the girly afternoon teas (though there may be some boys who enjoy that, I can't imagine there's many teenage boys who like a shopping trip and a gossip over lunch), spa days, that kind of thing. But hey ho, they love us unconditionally and we love them back the same!
I’m 20+5 today and had my covid+flu jab yesterday. Am I right in thinking that for some people the covid jab can cause vaginal bleeding? I’m sure I read that somewhere but I’m not having a luck when googling about that and pregnancy.
I didn’t notice anything yesterday and only noticed something when I could finally get dressed this morning that I had browny stuff in my underwear and having it now mixed in with any discharge.
Hoping everything is okay.. there’s no red flow or anything so I should just see how it goes right?
I almost wish I didn’t get the jab now but I never had issues with it last pregnancy 🫠
It’s probably nothing? But just something to worry about 🫠

I know that some people have changes to their menstrual cycle after having the covid jab, but I’ve never heard anything in relation to bleeding and pregnancy. Brown is obviously not fresh blood which means it’s unlikely to be anything concerning but I’d give your maternity services a call for reassurance and just keep an eye out for if anything changes xxI’m 20+5 today and had my covid+flu jab yesterday.

I think the evidence of bleeding is limited to one study (proving a very small amount of women had bleeding/interrupted menstrual cycles) and anecdotal on the internet…I’m 20+5 today and had my covid+flu jab yesterday.

I wouldn’t just immediately put it down to that but remember there are lots of things that can irritate the cervix too so may well be nothing - I always think best to be checked anyway
Hi everyone, just found out I’m pregnant yesterday 🥹 can I join the thread? First time mum here, no sisters and no friends who have had a baby and feeling quite overwhelmed!
Congratulations!! We’re all here if you have any questions or concerns.

having a rough HG day where I just can’t keep anything down and I was really looking forward to a roast
Hey.
Just found out I'm a second time mum to be. Very very early days so family not informed yet.
Exhaustion has kicked in, needing to consistently nap daily. Didn't get this with my first it was pure nausea and sickness with him.. I think I'd swap at this point.

My experience with calling maternity services here for anything in my first pregnancy felt like they were uninterested until after 25 weeks 🥲I think the evidence of bleeding is limited to one study (proving a very small amount of women had bleeding/interrupted menstrual cycles) and anecdotal on the internet…

I guess it could be down to having quite a busy week, lots of walking and with the placenta being low and covering my cervix maybe that’s something to do with it too, I was told to not have sex or put anything inside (not that I’ve felt like doing that anyway
) because it could cause irritation. I’ll take it easy today and see how it is tomorrow, hopefully cleared up then too. My husband said it’s probably nothing and not too worry but it is easier said than done isn’t it 🫠
Congratulations! I'm having my first in Dec (I'm 34 weeks today). Happy to answer any questions you have at any time. It's been quite the rollercoaster so far.
I’m not pregnant anymore but was having a lurk in here, congratulations!!! I know your user from reading TTC thread. So happy it’s happened for you
Thank you for all the love 🥹
I just don’t know what to do now haha! How do I get a midwife? Do I just call the midwifery department and tell them I’m pregnant? Is it a catchment area thing, or can I pick which hospital? Is there anything else I need to do? I’ve already been taking folic acid for 8 months so I’m good on that front!

Due this week.Thank you for all the love 🥹
Omg Massive congratulations
First time Mam her too and just recently found the thread. I love it. It's lovely to speak to other Mam's and get advice. I am the same, only one of my friends has a child and she is 15 now so things are different. I feel like I literally have absolutely no idea what I even need to buy
Welcome in
congratulations!! I was told to go to my gp surgery and get a midwife referral form. On this they had options of which hospitals were closest and you could choose which one you wanted your care to be atThank you for all the love 🥹
I just contacted my GP, they did a test and confirmed pregnancy and said a midwife would be in touch to arrange a visit.Thank you for all the love 🥹
Are you in the UK?
