28 week midwife

I went for my 28 week midwife appointment, I’ve been told my baby is measuring big. She is weighing 2lb 12 and percentile she is very high, on 90 I believe. My midwife mentioned I shouldn’t worry, but as per usual. I’m going to worry about it!
Does this usually mean you’ll have baby early? Either with c section or being induced?

Hey. At my 28 week appointment baby was measuring on the 97th percentile. The measurement’s aren’t accurate so I wouldn’t worry.
I went back at 31 week for my appointment and now they’ve said she’s too small! So they booked me in for a growth scan and they said she’s actually measuring average size and healthy. Xxx

I read something that said if you have a bigger baby it’s actually easier to deliver than a smaller one, as the weight pushes down etc

With fundal height measurements my baby was over the 97th percentile (at 28 weeks and 31 weeks) - just had my growth scan and he’s actually measuring 50th percentile! So I wouldn’t worry too much, fundal height is just a guide and it’s not super accurate.

I went for a scan at 26+2 and they estimated baby’s weight at 2lb 9oz and they told me it was normal weight…

My son was 97th centile throughout including on growth scans. Born 8lb 14oz. Wasn’t induced. No one was worried about it throughout.

We were also been told that baby was measuring big, however we went for a growth scan and whilst baby is a bit big it's still within normal range. Midwife said it's absolutely nothing to worry about and very unlikely to change anything about labour 🙂

I had my 28 week growth scan on Wednesday, and the baby is weighing 2lb 15oz, which shows 50th centile on my growth chart.

My growth scan at 28+5 baby was on 97th percentile and 3lb 9oz

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Hey what are your current symptoms?

I’m 37+5

I’m pretty mobile still but anything over a hour or 2 and I’m in discomfort

Getting up from a sitting position is hard

Some of baby’s movements now are bordering on painful especially around my crotch/pelvis

I’m exhausted very easily and nap every single day

Can basically only breathe out my mouth now and I’m snoring and dribbling 😂

Standing in one leg is very painful 😂

Some waves of pain/ tightening but I regular and mild

Low period type aches

And I feel like a fire breathing dragon with this acid reflux

My nose is growing 😂

My fingers swell slightly and go numbs in my sleep so that and constant toilet breaks keep me up ( checked swelling with MW and consultant and all normal, not a worry)


I also do not want to be social in person like I’d rather everyone just be my penpal atm lol


What are your symptoms?
