November 2023 Babies 🇬🇧

Size

My LB turned 18 weeks Saturday I weighed him so not massively accurate but he’s around 18lbs! He was 5 weeks early at 6ib 9. I keep getting told he’s chunky and to be honest it’s getting me down, anyone else’s on the larger size?

My little boy is a proper chunk ☺️ he’s 5 months in 9 days and 2.5 weeks ago he was almost 17lbs xx

Our little one was 9,11 born and 3 weeks ago weighed 19lbs 7oz he is 4 months and 2 weeks old but is in proportion as is really tall aswell! I love a chunky baby they are the cutest!!!

Our boy is 24 weeks and 24lbs 11oz so similar to your boy (1lbs = 1 week kinda thing). He is off the chart for weight but also for height at 74cm long. Between 9-12 and 12-18 clothing currently bless him

Our boy is such a chunky one 💙 but we love his little rolls 😂 all babies are different. Don't take any notice of what others are saying, which includes health visitors and midwives. Babies don't fit into a one size box. Babies are all beautifully different xx

My LG is 19 weeks this Thursday was born 7.9oz and lost 8.5% in first week. She now weighs the same as your LB The health visitor said it’s perfectly fine as I was worried when I went to add her weight in the red book and she was on the 91st centil. Is your little one breast fed or formula fed? Happy healthy little baby do not stress yourself, it sounds like you and little one are doing amazing!!

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Is this normal??

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and having really aching legs and they’re all lumpy and swollen. Above the knee and behind the knee . Should I be worried ? My legs have never looked like this up until a few days ago. ??
