Centile

How to work out what it means when they say a figure and then centile? And how do you match this up with how far gone you are?

Your charts will be in the back of your pregnancy so you can check those and see where the little crosses are to show where you were measuring at 12w, 20w and 36w (if your area/hospital has those)

This empty one shows you 50th line in the middle (see key bottom right) and that’s the average “normal” line and then the darker one either side is 90th (larger side) or 10th (smaller side)

Weeks are at the bottom, height on the left axis, weight on the right ☺️ hope this helps in some way! Xx

I was told a centile (meaning 100) is if they were to line up 100 babies from smallest to largest, the number is where your baby would be in the line. At my 32 week scan he was 75th centile so would be over average (50) but below the largest (100)

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! 🥰

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

Hey what are your current symptoms?

I’m 37+5

I’m pretty mobile still but anything over a hour or 2 and I’m in discomfort

Getting up from a sitting position is hard

Some of baby’s movements now are bordering on painful especially around my crotch/pelvis

I’m exhausted very easily and nap every single day

Can basically only breathe out my mouth now and I’m snoring and dribbling 😂

Standing in one leg is very painful 😂

Some waves of pain/ tightening but I regular and mild

Low period type aches

And I feel like a fire breathing dragon with this acid reflux

My nose is growing 😂

My fingers swell slightly and go numbs in my sleep so that and constant toilet breaks keep me up ( checked swelling with MW and consultant and all normal, not a worry)


I also do not want to be social in person like I’d rather everyone just be my penpal atm lol


What are your symptoms?
