My last baby was small all the way through my growth scans. They monitored me more closely and ended up inducing me at 38 weeks.
This baby likely to be small too so I am having growth scans again. He was weighing 1.2kg at 28 weeks but was told this was okay and they are not concerned.
I know it’s easier said than done but try not to worry. Just keep a close eye on your movements, any concerns go to your local hospital. You will likely be consultant led, I am, but from experience that it just for them to check in at this stage, towards the end of your pregnancy the consultant will decide whether you will go full term or need to be induced a little early.

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Is this normal??

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and having really aching legs and they’re all lumpy and swollen. Above the knee and behind the knee . Should I be worried ? My legs have never looked like this up until a few days ago. ??
