3lbs at 28 weeks

I went for my 28 week scan today and baby is weighing 3lbs. Is that big for how far along I am?

According to google, average is just over 2lbs

My app says 2.7lbs is an average weight for 28weeks so seems fine x

Did they tell you what percentile baby was? I was the same today, 3lb, but he was within the normal range, just on the bigger side they said :)

he was in the 90th percentile x

At 26 weeks mine was 2lb 10oz which was on 97th percentile- so yes this would be on the bigger end of the scale but still normal!

still in the normal range then so hopefully all good! I’m just not buying many of the super small baby grows as I imagine I won’t need them now 🤭 x

So at 26 weeks our baby was about 2lb 6oz which was bigger than expected by a bit but not out of normal range!

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??

Tips for babies with wind issues

My 5 week old has always had issues bringing up all his wind. When he’s laying on his back, he’s always grunting in pain to the point he cries and wakes himself up.

Spoke with a qualified physio who’s also qualified in baby massage and she said try concentric circles on baby. Small circles with a little pressure on their right (your left when facing you) from the bottom of their tummy up to their ribs and then going to the other side and doing the same. Then do the usual leg exercises with them (bicycle kicks, air squats, rotating them side to side etc)

I’ve also found this really helps doing it on my LBs back. I either use my thumb or two fingers when he’s up against me. I do both sides from bottom to top in small circles. He moves around and makes the grunting noises when I first do it but burps come out and after about 4/5 times he stops moving around or grunting at all and it’s meant he’s actually slept on his back and not had to cosleep!

Oh boy 😯

Happy 31st to me lol yikes 😬

Dull aches

Hello I am a FTM 37+5 weeks I had some slight pink discharge on my pad on Friday evening since then I have had a dull ache in the bottom of my tummy that just isn’t going away and dull back ache could this be the start of labour?
