35 weeks baby 3kg

My last midwife app I was 35+3 and baby is measuring about 3kg and 95th centile.

Midwife won’t refer me for a growth scan as she said it’s not a concern and they won’t do a scan unless the baby is measuring too small.

I’m a little worried as the birth centre I was planning to deliver at won’t accept me anymore if the baby is too big. Is this too big?

At 32 weeks my baby was 4lbs 36 weeks he was 6lbs. I’m in growth scans because he’s measuring too big… maybe ask to see if you can have them? X

i'm 36+5 baby is measuring big 6 lbz and 4 oz , Is it something to concern about ?

My baby was estimated to be 4lbs 9 at 32+5. Was told this was perfect, i have one more growth scan tomorrow

They won’t refer me for a growth scan as I was told they don’t unless the baby is measuring under the 10th centile- just worried they will want to induce/ C-section based solely on my bump measurement.
I was 35cm at 35 weeks

If they do want to induce you for this reason, I’d refuse and demand to see more evidence to support that’s what’s best for you.

You can request for a scan especially if the midwife's measurements are showing baby to be big. Request to speak to another midwife and tell them your concerns. You have every right to get a scan especially when the measurements aren't always accurate.

36+3 measuring 3.1kg/6.8lbs and haven’t been referred for a growth scan as growth is consistent

At 34+6 by fundal height mine is estimated weight of 3.1kg. But no growth scan as measuring in pattern with my previous fundal height. As long as I don’t jump up or down on the chart we should be ok

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

i really want another baby

i am merely a few months pp but i want another baby, but i am scared of the age gap (2 under 2) and also with everything going on in the world i just think its not the best idea at the moment but i am having crazy baby fever and miss having a newborn🥹

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

Homebirth?

I am thinking I want a homebirth (second baby) for a few different reasons but my husband is very against it, he is worried about things going wrong and we are a 30 minute drive from the hospital. Has anyone been in a similar position and what did you end up doing? Any advice? 🙏
