Length for age

I took my son to the doctor right before Christmas because he had the stomach virus going around but I noticed on his growth chart he is only 30.7 inches which is in the 7th percentile. Do you think this is something I should be concerned about? He has his 18 month appointment in 2 weeks and I am planning on bring it up. If you have had this same concern what happened for your child?

Bring it up for sure.

From the chart it looks like he is slowing down with growing. If I'm reading this right, a year ago he was 64th percentile? It looks like he's still growing, just not as fast as the "norm", which is just a way for health specialist to monitor children and make sure they are healthy. He may just be hitting a growth spurt later. Bring it up if you want, but if he's not malnourished, don't beat yourself up. It may also be a genetic thing. My oldest grows like a weed on steroids and doesn't have much fat on him thanks to my husband, while my youngest grows more on an "average" scale but is still holding onto his last baby leg roll at 20 months, like I did.

Induction?

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

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?

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

Homebirth?

I am thinking I want a homebirth (second baby) for a few different reasons but my husband is very against it, he is worried about things going wrong and we are a 30 minute drive from the hospital. Has anyone been in a similar position and what did you end up doing? Any advice? 🙏
