Hi,
Sometimes it is not possible to complete the 20 week scan in one go for a variety of reasons and arrangements are made for the mother to be scanned again.

During your 20 week scan many things are checked.

The kidneys will be checked to ensure that they are there, there is two and that they are working properly. As is the nature of the urinary tract, it has to fill up before it can empty and this may well be what the sonographer was waiting for. If it did not occur during your scan then you will be asked to go back for it to be checked again.

The placental site is checked because if it is covering the neck of the womb then that does have implications for delivery. However placentas do move as the womb grows with the baby and this will be checked again nearer your due date.

Hope that has reassured you a little, if you have any more concerns following your next scan post on here and I will get back to you.
Regards
Alison

Hi,
In my experience SPD tends to occur in the most extreme cases around the end of the second trimester.

SPD really is a loosening of the pelvis by the pregnancy hormones and the weight of the pregnancy.

Have you been in touch with an obstetric physiotherapist? If not then it may be worth doing so.

Kind regards

Hi,

All abdominal pain in pregancy should be checked out, if it continues then get checked out again.

Hi,

Weight gain in pregnancy is a very individual thing and women will all put weight on at different times during their pregnancy, that's why we do not routinely weigh a each appointment any more.

Maternal weight gain has very little to do with how well your baby is doing and providing you attend your antenatal checks regularly your baby's well being will be monitored.

In the early weeks if you have been plague by sickness then yes weight loss is common.

Also if you are overweight to start with then you may well not put any weight on.

Ensuring that you try and have a healthy well balanced diet will benefit both you and the baby. If your diet is poor then a multivitamin especially for pregnancy may be advised.

Kind regards
Alison
