Hey all! I had a growth scan at 36+5 & my little girl is weighing 6lbs 11oz, what’re yours all weighing around that gestation?
They also found that I have slightly elevated levels of amniotic fluid, apparently a doctor is going to call (I have a c-section booked for 2 weeks time regardless), what’s peoples experiences with elevated amniotic fluid please?

I’m 35+1 and had scan yesterday and baby was weighing 6lb 4oz x

I don’t know! I’ve been waiting since Wednesday for them to update my chart on Grow 2.0, super annoying

at my 36 week scan they said she was weighing roughly 7lbs 🥰x

Growth scan at 36+6 and was measuring 6lb 2oz and was told she was right on 50th percentile

I had a scan at 34+4 and baby was 5lbs 8oz 😊

I have a growth scan tomorrow because baby has dropped to 10th centile at 36+2

35+1 baby was 5lb7oz

I had a scan at 36+1 and she was weighing about 6.6lbs

At 36+2 my little one was approx 7lb8oz. I have another at 38+3 x

At my 36+2 growth scan my little boy was weighing 6lbs 5oz. Xx

At my 38week scan they were measuring 6lb4oz (we're being monitored as baby is small)

Growth scan at 33+5 - baby’s weight was 2kg

I had a growth scan at 34+6 baby was measuring 6lb 2oz also with increased fluid. I have been sent for GTT to test for gestational diabetes and got a follow up scan at 36+6. I also had increased fluid in my previous pregnancy.

Had a growth scan at 37weeks exactly and baby weighing 5lb14oz so on 19th percentile

what did they do for increased fluid last time if you don’t mind me asking? I had a gestational diabetes test at 28 weeks so wondering if they’ll do that again😅x

At 37 weeks mine was 6lbs 3oz

How is everyone getting growth scans? They don’t offer them in my area unless there is something wrong? X

I do know my baby is supposedly on 50th centile but that’s only from midwife measuring my tummy x

My 36 week growth scan was slightly moved forward as I was admitted for reduced movements so I had my 36 week scan at 35 + 4 days and baby was approximately 6lb 4oz. I have another scan a week on Monday. I’ll be 38 + 2 weeks then so we shall see what that one says! X

I think it must be dependent on area, in Oxford everyones offered 3 scans (12,20&36 weeks) x

37+2 and baby was weighing 6lb2 xx

ive only got one because baby has dropped from 50th to 10th at 36 weeks, other than that its private if you wanted extra than the 12w&20w x

I’ve had them due to being high risk and on medication.
My 1st baby I didn’t have any extra growth scans X

@Jade im classed as high rosk due to a previous loss and high bmi.

My dr sent me for growth scan to try talk me out of wanting a section. X

I had a scan 37+1 and he’s 8lb 8oz x

My last scan was at 35 + 5 and little guy was measuring to be 6 lbs 6 x

36+0 6lb 5oz🥰🥰

I also have AFI of 24! So I’m doing the finger prick testing for 5 days x

At 36 and 3 babe was weighing around 6lb3oz and right on 50th centile for me 🥰

I have additional as I’m high risk! Xx

it has to be or high risk as I haven’t been offered any my whole pregnancy, I had a 12 and 20 week scan x

@Jade I've only had one as my bump was 50th centile, then a different midwife measured me and I went on the 97th centile, and now back to just above 50th centile... baby is showing as just above 50th centile on growth scan so I don't need another unless a chamge in bump measurements again x

my little one has done this also scan at 32 weeks he was on 50tg 36 weeks dropped to 10th got a scan on the 3rd and if he’s still not growing they’re going to induce me xxx

It was diagnosed a lot later last time around 39 weeks so not my time to investigate, however when my waters went at 39+3 I had to go straight to triage and they kept me in due to the higher risks. I chose not to be induced immediately but was put on a hormone drip after 24 hours.

35w+1 and 5lb8 which they said was fine 🤷🏼♀️ Was offered because fundal height was tracking differently to the last week (but literally the main midwife and trainee both measured at the same appointment with a 3cm difference so it’s bizarre they trust it at all lol)

My little one weighed Friday when I had mine, 6lb 5oz. Estimated! I was 35+6. So basically 36 weeks. :) normal fluid. Some women have more fluid than others, so they'll check to be on the safe side Hun. ❤️ xxx
