growth scans

baby boy is weighing 5.2 pounds at 35+1, hospital were not worried so neither are we. Is that quite little for the gestation? We were only told between the 10th and 50th centile..

It genuinely depends on your own growth scale that’s in your booklet, I’m due on the 16th of Oct and my little girl is on the 97th percentile and was weighing at 5.5lb at my 28 week scan! So to some that could be totally average and others way off!x

We were weighing 5.3 pounds at today’s 33+5 scan. This is really average for my growth chart x

I’m 32 weeks and baby is measuring 3lb 14oz (19th centile), but at my 28 week scan he was in the 53rd… quite worried as it’s a very big difference. Has this happened to anyone too?

they always say don’t worry until you’ve had three that are out, as it could just be a slow growth time for your baby in particular and between now and your next scan they might gain the difference back!☺️

My girl was weighing 5lbs10 at 36weeks and 4 days she’s on the 16th centile. Not sure if that helps

That seems great for 35 weeks. I was born 5lbs 7oz and was a healthy baby. My son was also 6lbs 1oz at full term and very healthy. I wouldn’t be concerned. Seems like a good healthy weight still with 5 weeks to grow 🥰 general growth is half a pound a week from here so baby seems on track to be 7.7lbs by your due date!

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Baby Movements

Hello, I’m a FTM currently 18W5D pregnant. I’ve been getting this tugging feeling in my stomach after I eat, it’s uncomfortable but not painful. I don’t know whether that’s the baby moving or round ligaments pain.

I’ve also been getting round ligament pain which is either a sharp stabbing pain or a stretching sensation. These happens whether or not I’ve eaten while the tugging feeling is only after I’ve eaten.

So, could the tugging feeling be the baby or something else.
