Growth concerns

Hi,
So I went for a growth scan yesterday, whilst at the scan the head and stomach were measuring big and legs measuring small. They’ve said overall he’s 51st centile. When I left they said they didn’t have any concerns but bringing me back in 4 weeks.
After about and hour and a half I had a phone call from the doctor that spoke to me who said she’d spoken to one of her colleagues who want me in on Tuesday for some further scans.
I’m now sat at home, taken the day off work with worry, over thinking everything.
Just wondered if anybody else has had anything similar or know what they’ll be looking for tomorrow?

Sorry no advice, I have my growth scan next week but what I have learned from reading and speaking to friends etc is that scans are not always accurate and the positive in all this is, you and baby are being monitored 🩷

From what I've been told, a baby should follow the 50th centile line on the growth chart, did they not tell you why you needed another scan? Because I don't think it's because of growth if he's on the 51st centile as that's where he should be... Unless the person who scanned you was wrong xx

They said they were checking for chromosomal and other things too, because his legs tapered on the graph. I did google what they’d be looking for too which I shouldn’t have done because it’s got me assuming the worst

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?

Fed up

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow

32 weeks

32 week growth scan and clinic appointment. Did anything unusual happen? Ive heard a few people saying 32 weeks was when they had a induction date

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?
