Clothes sizing - packing hospital bag

I am 34 weeks pregnant and my midwife described my baby as a ‘whopper’ 😂. My first baby was 9.9lbs and i am pretty sure she only just fit into 0-3 clothing. Say for a 10lb baby, will they still fit into 0-3 clothing?

My first was 9lb 5oz and he was in 0-3 until about 6 weeks ish I think, so you should be fine. Pretty sure Gabi above is right and it’s around 14lb for most brands. Up to 1 month are normally 10lb ish.

I always back 1 premie, 1 newborn, and 1 0-3 just in case. It covers most bases. My oldest was 9 pounds 4 ounces, my second (I was told she was going to be big) was 6 pounds 11 ounces…

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 😂🥲
