Bump size

Anyone else got a tiny bump but a decent size baby? My bump has measured on the 3rd percentile twice now so I have been sent for 2 emergency growth scans but he is a great size, was 4 pounds 4 at my 32 week scan 🤣

I only started properly showing a few weeks before I had my little boy.. He was born 1 day after my due date and weighed 7lbs 6.5oz

It’s crazy how our bodies can hide so much baby, I don’t know how he fits in there 🤣

My bump is on the 50th percentile, but baby is on the 98th percentile by my growth scan. She weighed 4lbs3oz at my 30 week scan & I don’t have GD. I don’t know how she’s hiding in there 🤷🏻

Bump is measuring 9th percentile but baby is measuring just under 50th and 3.4lbs at 32 weeks (last week).

I don’t know what my bump is measuring as I’m having growth scans and not bump measurements but my bump has only recently started to show properly and my baby is on the 75th percentile!

My mum used to be a midwife and she used to say that bumps are like the garage you don’t know what car is in it until you open it could be Land Rover or a mini 🤣 I had a small bump last time and my LG was born super small but this time I would say I’ve got an average bump and a much bigger baby according the growth scans

Mine initially measured on the 9th percentile but ultrasound revealed baby was on the 50th. Baby has been in my pelvis pretty much all along and has now moved upwards a bit more. My bump last measured on the 50th percentile and now they are wanting to scan because they think he might be too big as they are correcting it using the difference from the last measurement and scan🤦🏻‍♀️. The fundal height is so inaccurate. I’m glad your baby is a healthy weight.

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

I have a feeling like I might get attacked from this but I’m going to say it anyways. incognito 🥸 GLP1s being mainstream for regular people who are NOT diabetic or morbidly obese is bad for so many reasons 💉💉💉

Side affects, long term dependency, supply shortages and costs, regaining the weight back as soon as you get off them.. all that ASIDE how do people not see just from a zoomed out perspective how crazy it is. I can’t imagine being someone facing food insecurity in an underdeveloped country and watching westerners give themselves daily jabs so they can lose weight while still eating a calorie surplus/ crappy foods. It’s giving hunger games when district 12 Katniss finds out at the party at the capital that people eat and then take a pill to make themselves sick so they can 🤮 and eat some more. These ads running ozempic everywhere are disgusting, and then getting amazing athletes like Serena Williams to push them talking bout “i’ve never been healthier” girl you were an OLYMPIC athlete wym??

Planned c section

Has anyone had a planned c section and been home the same day?

Getting pregnant after c section

When did you get pregnant again after a c section? Our plan was always to have 2 under 2 but that is now out the window because I had an emergency section. I know they say 18 months and we will be sticking to it (as much as I don’t want to) but I’m curious how quickly you got pregnant after your section?

Movements

I’m 28 weeks tomorrow. Yesterday I had loads and loads of movements but today I have only felt small flutters and a couple of kicks throughout the day. I get so confused as some people say they don’t have a pattern but others say they do. We have a Doppler so used it this evening and could hear the heartbeat and then moving but does anyone else get quieter days of movement than others? I am seeing my midwife tomorrow so will check but just find myself getting anxious about it and don’t know when to get checked. I know they encourage it but last time as soon as I got to triage baby started moving loads!

Clogged ducts, eye gunk

Little Theo has been having really gunky eyes, we’ve taken him to the doctor and the a and e and they’ve said it’s most likely a clogged duct, anyone else’s baby have this and was there anything to do about it? I feel horrible constantly wiping his eye xx
