Just curious how you know your baby’s weight/how you got another scan?

My last ultrasound was our 20 week anatomy scan and he was measuring 2 weeks ahead. And it’s given me anxiety for the remainder of my pregnancy. I was actually due yesterday and still no signs of labor. So I’m freaking out that he’s going to be a big baby! But I’m not allowed another scan under my insurance.

🙋‍♀️ baby was estimated 8lb15oz at my last growth scan 3 weeks ago. Getting a membrane sweep today (39w3d) and if that doesn't work, inducing on Friday. This is my third so the OBs are optimistic that I can still deliver vaginally.

3rd baby for me! My baby was estimated to be measuring 3 weeks ahead due to gestational diabetes and weighing 9.5, I was having contractions and her head would not engage into my pelvis no matter what nor was I progressing so we had a scheduled c section on October 6th and she was 9 pounds 3 ounces and I was told after there would have been no way for her to fit into position so I’m glad I listened to my doctor throughout the whole process.

Not over 10, but I just had my baby delivered vaginally weighting 9lbs 11oz. To be honest it wasn't too bad, just a second degree tear

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

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

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?

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!

Owlet

Anyone else’s owlet pi##ing them off ?!?! It goes off 5/6 a night saying it can’t get a reading and needs a snug fit. My baby is 8 months old so moves a lot. It is driving me insane and I keep end up taking it off!!
