28 week scan

So had my growth scan today at 28+5 and babies tummy and femur are all measuring just slightly bigger than average but nothing crazy. They have said that his head however is on the 95th percentile! I'm genuinely a little bit worried if this means that there's anything wrong? And also if that means there's going to be difficulties with giving birth. I was already really worried about him getting out and now I'm mithering he might get stuck 😬 has anyone been told similar about head size at this stage or know if it's anything to worry about?

Honestly, don’t be scared. They are notorious for being wrong. They told my sister that my niece would be 8 pounds and she came out barely 6

My son's head was 95th the whole time and still is now, just means baby has a bigger noggin. All my dad's side of the family have large heads so it was no surprise my son got my melon head. It's nothing to worry about

Try not to be too concerned. My baby has been measuring 90th-97th percentile since 28 weeks. I have regular growth scans but my OB is not at all concerned. She's looking super healthy, just big. I get induced on Thanksgiving (for hypertension and GD, not baby size)

They said my son had DOME lol for a head and when i crown it felt like it too bahaha my little dude had the smallest head of all my children 😆

Don't worry too much about the measurements. My son's long bones were measuring short, and his head was measuring bigger. They said he was 5lbs some ounces. He came out 3 lbs 10 oz, and he has no disproportions or long bone issues. These are estimates while measuring, I'm sure baby is totally okay!

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!

Invited to a chuckie cheese party but I don't have money and don't want to tell my daughter that's why we can't go. Does anyone know how their parties work?

I'm not sure how chuckie cheese parties are. If they give you money to play or not if you're in the party. And then I'm wondering if it's an actual birthday party or if they're just going to chuckie cheese. Some guy in my building told me a couple weeks ago that his son's birthday is today and he's thinking of doing chuckie cheese. They sent an invite but I feel so insecure not being able to afford anything. Like if they don't have food for example. Idk what to do.

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!!
