Small at 36 wks

Just left my OB at my 36 week appt and she said baby is measuring small (last ultrasound 22nd percentile, this ultrasound 14th). It was at a different facility from where my ultrasounds usually are so they are sending me for a repeat back at my usual place. So stressed. Anyone else have a small baby that seems to be getting smaller???

My baby was 5 pounds 10 ounces at my 36 week appointment and they said that she was 25th percentile and she’s a perfect weight. Baby still has weeks to put on weight.

I have my next ultrasound next week but my little one was at 20th percentile 2 weeks ago. They said as long as she was gaining weight and didn't fall under 10 they will just keep closely monitoring .

Ultrasounds are also not 100% predictable. My fiancé was told her son was going to be over 8 pounds when he was born. He was 7 pounds 12 ounces.

I was told her stomach was measuring small by my ob but the specialist said she was right on track and that the ob might not have measured from a good angle.

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.
