Can someone please help me understand this growth chart?

I don’t know if this is normal measurements or not. My midwife never explains or tells me.

Baby is measuring closer to the 90th percentile which means they may be a slightly bigger baby, but yes normal measurements and measuring fine as well for their height :)

As Frayere has said! Baby is measuring within normal range appears to be following a good consistent trend in growth. I'd imagine that if your buba plots above the 90th centile they will send you for a growth scan (but see that as a great opportunity to see your baby again) ❤️ xx

50th percentile is average and its showing baby is consistently above average you shouldn’t worry unless theres a sudden drastic change

If ur little x is in-between the 2 darker lines then baby is within the normal range of size the light gray line in-between the 2 dark lines is the standard average for baby size by the looks of it ur baby is slightly on the bigger side but that's not a bad thing at all and I will say it's not always accurate so don't worry to much about the size really the midwife or consultant should tell you if ur baby is too small or too big witch to be to big or small the little x would need to be outside the lines if the x is in-between the dark lines and the light lines on the outside then they may want to monitor you more closely incase of going out of the lines hope this helps to understand oh and above the light gray line in the middle is on the bigger side and below the line is on the smaller side lol but please don't worry ur self they can be un accurate quite a lot of the time x

I also think it’s if they generally grow steadily ina. Line like your little one is
That’s what they look for
But jumps or dips in growth from usual pattern would be an additional check I think

My son is measuring in the 79th percentile.

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

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?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!

Owlet

Anyone else’s owlet pi##ing them off ?!?! It goes off 5/6 a night saying it can’t get a reading and needs a snug fit. My baby is 8 months old so moves a lot. It is driving me insane and I keep end up taking it off!!
