Baby measuring small / 32 weeks

I am 32 weeks today and my baby is only measuring at 28 or 29 on the growth chart so I’m being sent for a growth scan within the next few days. Has anyone had a similar situation. I’m super worried and not sure why he’s measuring so small

Yes I measured about 3/4 weeks behind my whole pregnancy with my daughter! I had growth scans every 2 weeks from 30 weeks.. my daughter didn’t measure that much behind she was very much tucked away but was smaller than average on 9th centile when born d

Did she come at full term ? A few people are saying he might be delivered early if he’s not growing much and now I’m panicking lol! X

The tape measure one is very inaccurate. I also got sent for a couple of growth scans because she was measuring small with the tape but when I went to actually be scanned she was exactly where she was meant to be so try and not worry too much! Even the person scanning me told me how inaccurate the tape measure was xx

she came at 39 weeks lovely I got induced as she was small but for reduced movements x

Belly measurements are really inaccurate, could be due to their position etc , could be further in your back I am small for 34 weeks but baby’s measuring fine on growth scans x

Yep I had a growth scan last week at 31 weeks as I was measuring way below at 26 weeks according to the midwife! Had the scan and she’s measuring fine 😊

I was measuring too small at one midwife’s appointment so was sent for a growth scan, all was fine, then my 34 week one was measuring too big and was sent for a scan and it’s all fine. I think its a lot to do with who measures and where baby is positioned. Xx

Hospital bag checklist ✨

I feel like a lot of us have been discussing this for a while so I’ve pieced together what we’ve all said (water birth, c section mamas might need more). Other 2 x screenshots in the comments. If anyone spots anything missing feel free to add below ⬇️

C-section information

How long were you in hospital for after your first C-section? I am having my first C-section next week and would be grateful of any advice or information. Thanks

Hormone drip

I’m being induced on Wednesday, with my first baby I was induced but I can’t remember if I had the hormone drip as I was so out of it from gas and air and pethidine.

Can I refuse it this time? As I’ve heard it makes contractions more painful, or can I say if I do need the hormone drip, I will need an epidural can the 2 coincide?

Did any mamas get nails done before c section?

Reading mixed things online saying that we can’t get them done bc the pulse reader? Just wanting to see if they actually really care x

christening/naming ceremony

did anyone have a christening or naming ceremony for their little one? what would you recommend? my boy is 2 months old so i’m not thinking right this second but i want to do something for him. i was baptised as a baby although i don’t follow a religion as of current. it will be my family and friends attending as the father isn’t involved, but that still adds up to a pretty decent turn out. what was everyone’s experiences? tell me everything!

Growth charts

Has anyone else not get access to the baby’s growth charts. I’m not sure if I made it up that I should have access or not.

If you do was it through an app or website.

Sorry 39 weeks and brain fog is crazy 😂
