Baby size

Firstly, what is this a picture off? Ia it the heart as it has the beat on the bottom or something else 😆

Exactly 28 weeks today and not sure how to feel, I always knew I'd be induced early and was told from the beginning that I wouldn't go over 38 weeks.

Today I was told our baby has a larger belly (97th centile) 2lb 12oz and will now be induced at 37 weeks, unless any concern with the next upcoming scans then possibly sooner depending on size ect!

I'm worried my baby is suffering and I've tried so so hard!

Why are you worried baby is suffering? Also have you been told anything about fibroids? Because you’re right this photo is confusing. The lines at the bottom show a typical consistent heartbeat which to me says baby is comfy not suffering but I’m not sure if you or baby have some other condition you forgot to mention

My baby was weighing 4lb 1 at my 28 week scan, I have diabetes so grow bigger babies, don’t always listen to growth scans they usually a way off my baby is predicted to be 13lb but I know for a fact he won’t be due, have they tested you for diabetes or put you on any medication?

Looks like sonogram of umbilical cord.
I can’t say anything about your induction, But I think this is often done because of the expected high weight of the baby

I was induced at 38 weeks baby 5lb, induction failed had emergency section all fine now 11th centile almost a year old

Failing placenta too

Looks like feet and knees

it’s says umbilical a on the photo so you might be correct

My doctor did sonogram like this few times for me too, because my baby was small in size. They usually just check the flow in the umbilical cord to make sure that the placenta is working correctly

Unwell after sweep

I’ve had a sweep earlier today, lost the mucus plug about a couple hours later. Got period type cramping immediately, I hadn’t even left the midwife appointment yet. I have contractions and permanent back cramping, alongside waves of nausea - which is a combination I’m struggling with as I feel quite unwell. Nowhere near labour, as I’ve had 6 contractions in the span of 3 hours or so. A midwife told me sweeps cause really bad cramping, so I assumed it was normal. But just want to check if there’s anybody out there in a similar boat? Should I be calling the hospital to check if it’s all normal?

Has your life become a living nightmare since becoming a mom?

Sometimes I become conscious of the fact that I just have to wake up tomorrow morning and do this all over again. Every day. And then I wanna bash my head into a brick wall

39 Week Induction Being Pushed On

Went to my 36 week appointment today and my OB was pushing for a 39 week induction.

I want a natural spontaneous labor but my OB kept pushing for the induction even if I’m low risk and healthy. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Overwhelmed!

I’m due in June with my first baby, we started saving money before I found out I was pregnant and have continued to save money however, as we’ve needed to buy lots of baby stuff, decorate her room etc, we’ve not been saving no where near as much so obviously our total amount of savings hasn’t been going up as much as we like.

We’ve just had our renewal for some bills like council tax (which has gone up) etc. I just feel really deflated and thinking how on earth are we going to survive when I’m on maternity pay 😕

I know everything will be okay but it’s just really got to me today.

Did anyone else feel like this? Was there any help or things you did to make it easier?
