Drop in percentile 36w pregnant

Hi everyone, I saw my OB today and she said baby is measuring small, about 15th percentile. With all previous scans baby were around 50th percentile.

The OB was really concerned and said there was a risk of stillborn because baby is not growing. They said I would get weekly scan & monitoring. And if baby becomes below 10% they would induce me. (OB also mentioned oxygen level & heartbeat were normal)

I am very stressed and worried. Is something wrong with baby? Is baby sick?

First thing to do is not stress ! you stress baby stress doctors like to be a little dramatic somtimes keep that in mind all my babies where small and I had to go for multiple scans when my babies where born they where still small but really healthy somtimes it depends on the person to my mum was the same if heartbeat and oxygen is fine then that's really good

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
