Baby measuring small

Had some news Friday that my baby boy has stopped gaining weight. Being 31 weeks tomorrow they are talking about inducing me early. Anyone else going through this?

Hi there, I'm 31 weeks today & I was told my baby girl is on the smaller side which has resulted in me having scans twice a week. There is a resistance of blood flow in her umbilical cord. They will keep an eye on bubba, & potentially think about an emergency c section

Our little one is measuring small I’m being scanned every 3 weeks at the moment but she has been growing just very slowly! I think it’s common for them to induce you early if the growth has stopped. Have they figured out the reason for the growth stopping?

You see I'm on heart meds due to my condition so that could potentially be the reason it has stunted her growth. But they are keeping an eye on her, I'm due to go for a scan tmrw

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲
