Uterus measuring behind

Hi mamas! I am 27 + 4 weeks. At my appointment my OB mentioned my uterus was measuring 3 weeks behind. She said if by 30 weeks it is still measuring behind she will schedule an ultrasound to check the baby’s growth. Baby was measuring right on point at anatomy scan.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Thanks!

Yes! My uterus was 6 weeks behind. I just carried small but had growth scans with my first every 2 weeks after 28 weeks because he was small. Same thing this time around but i have scans every 4 weeks instead. I think it really just has to do with how you carry sometimes!

Thanks so much for the info! I appreciate it!

My SIL was measuring 3 and then 4 weeks behind. Growth scan showed him right on track. Some people just carry differently! I wouldn’t worry about it until your scan.

Thanks for sharing! He has been measuring on point before this was brought to my attention so I’m thinking it’s probably nothing to worry about!

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?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

2nd pregnancy after c section

I’m not planning on getting pregnant anytime soon but in the future possibly. I just wanted to know how is pregnancy after c section like my fear is having to go through another emergency operation or even putting strain on my incision during pregnancy

Baby Movements

Hello, I’m a FTM currently 18W5D pregnant. I’ve been getting this tugging feeling in my stomach after I eat, it’s uncomfortable but not painful. I don’t know whether that’s the baby moving or round ligaments pain.

I’ve also been getting round ligament pain which is either a sharp stabbing pain or a stretching sensation. These happens whether or not I’ve eaten while the tugging feeling is only after I’ve eaten.

So, could the tugging feeling be the baby or something else.

Anyone getting a private scan at exactly 6weeks

I just wanna know my baby is actually there after losing my first at 5w

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.
