What’s everyone’s little ones weighing on growth scans? And has anyone experienced excessive amniotic fluid?

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?

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

Avatar

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

Avatar

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

Avatar

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

Avatar

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

Avatar

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

Avatar

37+2 and baby was weighing 6lb2 xx

Avatar

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

Avatar

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

Avatar

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

Avatar

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

Avatar

Avatar

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

Avatar

I have additional as I’m high risk! Xx

Avatar

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

Avatar

@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

Avatar

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

Avatar

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.

Avatar

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)

Avatar

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

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?
