37+5 baby weigh 3550 grams (7716.179 lbs)

They just scan me and they might induce me next week to not let him exceed 4 kg. Any experience? Im a bit worried and stressed

Scans are inaccurate. Plus there’s nothing wrong with having a big baby

3550kg is impossible, I guess you meant 3550g.. you’ll be okay. Don’t worry. :)

Lol!!! Impossible a person can weight that much 😅. You gr or onz

assuming you mean grams for babys estimate weight, that's more or less what I was on Monday at 36 weeks no mention of induction and midwife happy with us still going for natural no induction... the measurements and scans can be wildly off!

As others have said the estimated weight can be wrong from scans.
That said I’ve opted for an induction as I am on the smaller side and baby is predicted to be pretty big - there are risks in labour that are increased in this situation.
The decision is yours completely and so many women deliver big babies with no problems at all! Here if you want to chat about it ☺️

Im 37 + 4 today and being induced tomorrow

My auntie was told she was measuring heavy and was to be induced. The baby was not big at all. Scans can be inaccurate. My advice is to really do your research and make an informed decision based off the pros and cons of your situation. Hear the professionals side, too.

Always remember it’s your choice if you want to be induced and you can say no! I would read the pros and cons before making any decision and see if the benefits outweigh the risks. Not to scare you but a lot of people have had a tough time when being induced as sometimes baby isn’t ready to come out so there’s a lot to think about x

Do you think it’s rude for well of grandparents to not ask what your soon to be 5 year old wants for their birthday

His birthday is in 3 days and nobody has even mentioned it. I dropped hints a few times like oh yeah we are going out for his BIRTHDAY that day etc lol. They just aren’t interested and couldn’t be bothered to get him something I guess.
With my daughter who’s older they used to get her lots of gifts.

1 year postpartum ❤️‍🔥💪🏼

So excited to have reached this milestone with our second and final baby. I'm stronger in some of my lifts than ever before and I can't wait to keep lifting heavier. 😍

Can someone describe contractions to me?

I’m having random pain in different parts of my belly and pelvis and I have a backache. I also had loose bowels earlier, and I feel baby girl moving super low in my pelvis. Is this early labour? My consultant OB wanted me to go to the local hospital at the first sign of labour (because I’m supposed to be delivering at a hospital farther away) but I was just there last night and basically no sign of labour. I don’t want to go for a false alarm.
Thanks!

When was your first baby born?🩷🩵

My SIL is adamant her 1st baby will come at 37 weeks but she’s wanting 36 weeks! No reason for this other than she’s fed up of being pregnant🫣 she’s not quite 32 weeks yet I don’t think!
Out of interest when did everyone’s first baby arrive?
Mine were 40+2 and 40+4
