Growth scan tomorrow - anyone else had one?

I'll be 32+3, has anyone had one around this gestation and got any photos to show me? Not sure if it's worth buying the photos before the scan (that's what we have to do at my hospital) or if they are really unclear in third trimester because baby is bigger?

I had one yesterday at 32+1. Very simple, just had a look at baby & plotted her measurements in my notes. Took about 20 mins. She printed a photo & we bought it just because. Got 2 more before she’s here.

The last growth scan we had, they didn't even take any screenshots or offer us any photos 😂 literally just took the measurements and checked all is okay

I wasn't offered for several of them but the last one I asked and the pictures were really unclear

I wasn’t offered for my scan at 31 weeks but the scan was really unclear and much more of a medical scan than they had been - I think they’re pretty big at this point so even when she was pointing things out I was saying “oh yeah I can see that” when it just looked like a little grey blob 😅

normal or infected?

5 weeks post c section , i went at the beginning of the week as my wound had opened completely different area to what’s leaking. was told it didn’t look infected. anyone know if this is normal coming off it, it’s only a little amount at a time

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

I am so done with pregnancy !

Everything i do hurt . I sit down / i stand up / i walk / i lie down. I am in pain ! I am tired ! His mouvement hurt down there like electricity chock ! My back is on fire ! If i walk more then 5 minutes i feel like i am going to die ( low ferritine) the acid reflux is crazy . I mean i can’t and don’t wanna do this no more . Only 31 weeks !

Almost 37 weeks + told to do another growth scan

I just had my second to last doctor’s appointment this morning, and my OB told me she wants me to do another growth scan because my belly is measuring small. She says it’s probably just because I’m a smaller woman, but they like to be safe. It’s hard to hear though, since I just did one a couple months ago.

I did this with my firstborn around this time of pregnancy, so I do think I just carry smaller (even though I don’t feel like I look “small” at all). My first baby was 6lbs 15oz when she was born at 41 weeks + 2 days. I’m having this baby at 39 weeks on April 7. I hope she’s still at least 6lbs.

Anyone have any stories similar to this?
