Hi mommas! I’m new!

Has anyone had their belly measured and been told they were measuring ahead? I was told baby was measuring 29 weeks when I’m supposed to be 27😅 was hoping someone else here could relate?

I got told bubs estimated wks by his size (ie his legs are super long and about 2wks ahead of his age). I did have the obgyn get a measuring tape and measure my stomach (liek ribs to hips way) and said bub was looking well and growing well ?
But my ultrasound had the most in depth about where he was measuring for each like body section - everythung else was on track but bloody longggg legs 😂

My ob doesn't do the belly measurements do to them being inaccurate I guess 🤷‍♀️

It’s the measurements of my uterus is my understanding…fundal height or something is ahead.

My baby was 90th percentile during the anatomy scan and measuring one week ahead, but I don’t think it’s a cause for concern! Are you talking about the fundal height?

Yes I was told I’m measuring 29 weeks not 27 like originally thought

I've got told my due date is 15th Dec but due to baby's head measurements it maybe be 10th Dec now

I’m supposed to be due December 5th but she said my due date could change to as early as thanksgiving

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

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

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?

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!

Invited to a chuckie cheese party but I don't have money and don't want to tell my daughter that's why we can't go. Does anyone know how their parties work?

I'm not sure how chuckie cheese parties are. If they give you money to play or not if you're in the party. And then I'm wondering if it's an actual birthday party or if they're just going to chuckie cheese. Some guy in my building told me a couple weeks ago that his son's birthday is today and he's thinking of doing chuckie cheese. They sent an invite but I feel so insecure not being able to afford anything. Like if they don't have food for example. Idk what to do.

Owlet

Anyone else’s owlet pi##ing them off ?!?! It goes off 5/6 a night saying it can’t get a reading and needs a snug fit. My baby is 8 months old so moves a lot. It is driving me insane and I keep end up taking it off!!
