38+6 and measuring at 36 weeks

Anyone else been referred for a growth scan this late into their pregnancy? Baby has been pretty much 50th percentile until today. Midwife isn’t worried as he is 4/5 engaged so she thinks due to how low down he is the measurement is coming up small but just curious if anyone else has had this and how the scan went?

Yea me! I went at 37 weeks. It was literally babys position and the scan was all good x

I’m pretty sure mine will be the same! Did they give you an idea on baby’s weight? X

They booked me in again for another 3 weeks time which takes me 2 days before my due date because the hospital don’t compare to the midwife scan 🥲🤣. But yea they did. Estimated 6lbs 2 atm xx

I literally put up the exact same post today or yesterday! Baby was 50th all the way through my pregnancy then at 38 weeks was measuring at 34 weeks instead and at 5th percentile! 4/5th engaged as well. I was sent for a scan this afternoon and she said it was just babies position as he’s further down. He’s estimated to be 6lbs 7oz at the moment and back to 50th percentile.

glad it was all ok for you! Just wonder whether they will fit me in before he arrives!

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!
