Due date

Has anyone’s due date been moved up in the third trimester? I went in for a growth scan because of high bp (no preeclampsia just gestational hypertension!) and they moved my due date up by a week in a half due to her size. Im just wondering how accurate this is or if I should still expect her closer to her due date?

I was moved up by a week as well. When I went in for an ultrasound for bleeding. Moved to Feb 1st instead of 9th. (But he came early so I sadly can’t tell you the outcome of that😂)

With my first, they didn't move mine but choose to induce at 38 weeks for high BP But baby had other ideas because the induction didn't work🙃. They scheduled me for another one a week later, and even that took 4 days. He ended up being born only 5 days early.

I got moved up at the 12 week scan by 3 days. We did IVF so we exactly what the due date is but since baby was measuring bigger they moved it up 🤷🏼‍♀️

He’s in the Nicu till most likely my due date. But we’re both healthy, he’s just a little small.

I was moved up by 4 weeks so yes it’s possible. It all has to do with their size and your health how much they move you up.

thank you for this, because my doctors are still deciding on my due date because of the baby size, they don’t want him to get to big in there. I don’t have any complications such as preeclampsia or the gestational diabetes, i do have asthma and anxiety (not a good mix guide) but they was saying at my next growth scan at 36w if he exceeded a certain weight/percentile they was gone head and induce me.

We just found out our baby is measuring a few weeks bigger but are gonna let my body / the baby do it's thing and trust they'll come when it's the right time

they set my c-section for next week at 37 weeks cause she measures in the 99th percentile her last scan.

i have one last growth scan at 36w to determine how they want to proceed with me being induced or c-section bcuz at my last growth scan (30w) he was measuring at 5lbs which was the 95th percentile so they wanna compare and see what’s best. See they wanna try to keep him in my body til full term but my body isn’t blowing up to withstand his measured weight, like i don’t even look pregnant when i’m sitting down or if i haven’t eaten

yeah same kind of. I have a lot of other health issues and 2 past still burns so they’ve always wanted to take her early to be safe but at 35 weeks she was 8.4 pounds already and her biological brother was 10.2 at 37 weeks and I look nowhere near that pregnant when I say how far a long I am or how big she is they look at me like I’m lying or tell me how much bigger then we’re.

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?

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.

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.

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.
