Honestly I wouldn’t trust the scans and estimates. I was told my girl was 7lb 6oz at my 38 weeks scan and a week later I gave birth at 39weeks and my girl was 7lbs dot on. It wasn’t far off but I’ve heard some peoples babies was really far off the estimates x

If you’re being measured by fundal height (measuring tape) it’s not as accurate as a scan. My measurement was measuring baby to be 2 weeks behind and it really upset me, after going for a scan they confirmed baby was growing fine.
Hope this helps.

I measured exactly the same at this stage this time last year.. got told baby was going to be on the smaller side.. she was 8lb 4oz 🤣 I don’t trust growth scans!!

Yeah growth scan it was.
Plus she is breech. So worried she not growing...my next scan is on 24th I'll be 36 weeks. So hopefully she has grown xxx

@ rebecca that's not too bad hun, at 29 weeks plus 1 day my baby boy weighed just over 3lbs so I don't think your little girlie's weight is too bad xxx

I've also just had a growth scan at 32 + 1 and he's grown to 4lbs now, so you're not too far behind me xxx

I’m in the same boat,, my measurements have been small since 20 weeks at my last scan two weeks ago on the femur he was almost 5 weeks behind and head and tummy 3 weeks, amd he had dropped off the chart I’ve been so worried I had a amniocentesis at 20 weeks which was all clear but I’m still worried I’m back in the morning for another scan if he’s still off the chart I’m being induced ,, it’s hard isn’t it as so many others have had wrong measurements but I’m over anxious after we had a shock birth diagnosis with our second little boy.. your not alone xxx

The measurements are rarely accurate, try not to over think it or let midwife scare ya xxx

My baby was measuring 4lbs at 35 weeks you’re fine turned out my baby was measuring bigger than what they said

At my 32 week scan my girl measured 3.14lbs and my boy 4.2lbs. They are twins but weren’t concerned by the growth at all x

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

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??

C section compression socks

Hey ladies when did you ditch the compression socks and how mobile were you when you did? I’m so done with them! 6 weeks tomorrow since the op and im walking around the house doing jobs and baby care but not really out and about yet (the odd day I am) is it safe to ditch the socks?

Getting pregnant after c section

When did you get pregnant again after a c section? Our plan was always to have 2 under 2 but that is now out the window because I had an emergency section. I know they say 18 months and we will be sticking to it (as much as I don’t want to) but I’m curious how quickly you got pregnant after your section?

Movements

I’m 28 weeks tomorrow. Yesterday I had loads and loads of movements but today I have only felt small flutters and a couple of kicks throughout the day. I get so confused as some people say they don’t have a pattern but others say they do. We have a Doppler so used it this evening and could hear the heartbeat and then moving but does anyone else get quieter days of movement than others? I am seeing my midwife tomorrow so will check but just find myself getting anxious about it and don’t know when to get checked. I know they encourage it but last time as soon as I got to triage baby started moving loads!
