weight gain

My LO was born at 32+1 late June with a weight of 1.34kg, she had a weight restriction, she ended up getting diagnosed with NEC and had required surgery. After we got home In August, her weight had improved with her gaining 150g every week and we were on the SMA high energy formula.

In Early December, the outreach nurse had said to wean her off the SMA gold and continue just on Nutriprem, she was weighed today, exactly a month after and it’s only up by 130g, this is quite worrisome, Plan to go back on the SMA gold but looking for advise, has anyone experienced this? She’s currently weighing 4.75kg at 4 and 1/2 months corrected.

Are you part of the IUGR Facebook group? Parents there are usually quite good at giving advice about pre-term babies

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 😂🥲
