Anyone else baby between the 3rd and 10th centile line?

Will I have to get Induced if baby isn't growing? I didn't have any of this with my first

Mine is the same but the midwife doesn't seem to be bothered, just keeps saying the baby might be on a smaller side

Is this by fundal measurements alone?

Yep I’m being scanned every 3 weeks atm and she’s been between 5th and 7th percentile at every scan with her femur being the smallest part! Complete panic at every scan it’s so stressful! 😩 I can’t tell you if your definitely going to be induced but from research etc if baby is struggling to grow towards the end for certain reasons like placenta not working as well as they’d like then they will take them out early ❤️

Me too! Baby's generally ok size wise but his femur is measuring at 7th percentile and now being scanned every 4 weeks and under a consultant and found the first consultant appt so overwhelming and my anxiety went through the roof!! 🙈😔

I have to go back on Saturday for monitoring and then a scan on the cord and something else. Then a growth scan after that. She has measured smaller now then she did at 26 weeks. Off the measurements of my belly its grown 1cm in 2 weeks. I know she is really far down and breech. My anxiety is killing me x

Mine was bang on the 10th centile at 28 weeks. They didn’t seem that bothered 🤷🏻‍♀️ I had a big 8lb 6 baby before so being a dinky this time is all new to me. I do have low Papp-a though so they’ll be checking her growth at each scan

My baby is between 3rd and 10th as well! I’m now having growth scans every 2 weeks, my bmi is higher so was already supposed to be having growth scans, will be having more now that she’s smaller! So far I’ve been told it’s nothing to worry about, she’ll just be very small! I’m 30 weeks and she weighs around 2.3 at the moment! Got another scan tomorrow morning so fingers crossed she’s grown a bit more!! They said my planner, cord and blood flow etc is all working fine!

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??

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!
