Growth Scan 35+5

I had my growth scan today where they’re estimating babies weight at 6lbs 9ozs (Appreciate not always accurate) they’ve said babies weight is normal but this sounds big to me? Has anyone else measured this?

From what I've seen on here it seems like a lot of babies are measuring around the same.

I’m 35 weeks and not been told about a growth scan? How do you get one or who can I talk too? xx

Hey. I only had one as I went in for reduced movements, otherwise I don’t think you can have one unless you have a private scan or measuring small or big xx

My 36+1 scan was 5lb 12oz x

Got another one tomorrow at 36+6 x

At 36+4 my boy was 5.8lbs but you shouldn't compare too closely with others. It will all be dependant on your height and BMI.
I am very short and petite and my boy is only on the 14th percentile so he's quite small x

you only need growth scans if you're high risk. This can be for many reasons, medical conditions, gestational diabetes, high BMI or reduced movements. If you don't have them, it's normal x

I only get them as my baby is transverse and I’m having a c section xx

Avatar

the hospital I attend offer them to all but this isn’t the case for every area and people only tend to be offered if high risk

Okay thank you for responding ☺️x

i'm only getting one as my last baby was over 10 pound,2 weeks lste & ended in a emergency c -section.
I'm also suffering from a slight internal prolapse due to the pressure of the baby so i told them i'm not making a birth plan until i know the size!

36+3 and had growth scan today been told she's weighing 6lb9oz and that she's dead on the 50th centile for me, and if she continues growing at this rate being born at 40-41 weeks she'll weigh a perfectly healthy 7lb8oz ish x

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?

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

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

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!
