Growth scans

So I’ve had an appointment with the hospital for them to explain that coz of my BMI they wanted to run a few extra scans to monitor baby’s growth but as far as I was aware it was only two more but I’ve just received a text to say I have a third one that’s a month before baby’s due is this another one to check growth or is this to see if baby’s getting ready to be born?

It will be a growth scan I had growth scans with my son because he was measuring big he was born 8.8lb at 40+3

I've been told this one is measuring big too I'm 33 weeks and I've got another growth scan in 4 weeks was told last week baby was measuring 5.5lb already got glucose test to check for diabetes but everything came back clear.

I’ve had my glucose test and that also came back all clear I was just confused why I’ve got another scan as they didn’t actually tell me how many I would get

i get three one at 30 weeks one at 34 and one at 38, my 5th baby was 9lb 12.5oz at 40+1.

I’ve got / had 3 this pregnancy my first pregnancy I had 2 growth scans, this time
I have them at 28 32 & 36 weeks x

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!

Fed up

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?
