Head circumference below the last scan

Hello everyone, I’m a bit worried as the head circumference of the baby is lower measuring 298mm today. Meanwhile it’s was 302mm 3weeks ago at scan. 36 weeks today.

They have scheduled an MRI
I’m a bit scared who has experienced this and should I be worried??

Hello I have experienced this but I just wanted to say I hope all goes OK for the MRI xx

I hope so too??

I wouldn’t worry just yet scans can be so inaccurate and measurements can change depending on positioning etc so just go for the mri and see what they say. I wouldn’t stress. Like I said scans are so inaccurate especially if done by different people x

Alright thank you. This time it was done by the same person.

hello, how was the MRI? Hope no worries. Mine is scheduled for Tuesday

@Thelma how did it go? Sorry my message was ment to say that I haven't had this and wanted to say I hope all goes well for you and baby. I have had problems with static growth and had to be induced before with extra scans. All my babies I have had extra scans for size being small babies so kind of similar but it was stomach not head with my last baby. Hoping this one isn't the same x

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?

Invited to a chuckie cheese party but I don't have money and don't want to tell my daughter that's why we can't go. Does anyone know how their parties work?

I'm not sure how chuckie cheese parties are. If they give you money to play or not if you're in the party. And then I'm wondering if it's an actual birthday party or if they're just going to chuckie cheese. Some guy in my building told me a couple weeks ago that his son's birthday is today and he's thinking of doing chuckie cheese. They sent an invite but I feel so insecure not being able to afford anything. Like if they don't have food for example. Idk what to do.

Owlet

Anyone else’s owlet driving them mad?? It goes off 5/6 times 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! Anyone had similar issues?

20week scan!!

i had my 20week scan yesterday, everything looked okay on baby and we found out the gender!! it’s a girl 🩷🩷. but they said that my placenta is too close to my pelvis and they need to do extra scans to check on it? has anyone else been told this?

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.

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.
