Static growth

Went for a midwife appointment today and baby has dropped off from 97th percentile to 55th to less than the 10th percentile now so they are sending me for a growth scan.

Feeling concerned as I have had protein and now ketones in my urine? From reading it could be diabetes which they haven’t tested me for? Then it can cause cognitive damage to baby?

Any others that have had the same and it’s been okay?

i wouldn’t panic, what can cause cognitive damage?? i was diagnosed with gestational diabetes a week ago, haven’t heard of any effect to the baby like that? they will tell you more when they send you for growth scan. i got tested at 28 weeks for GD after i had a growth scan which baby measured big for, it was later than they usually test but most woman they test is due to being high risk for GD already like your BMI etc. So don’t worry that they haven’t tested you for it yet, they only do it if they have concerns. If they get concerned at the growth scan, they may send you for a GTT test but depends on if they’re concerned or not xxx

it says the ketones in the urine means that it can cross over into the placenta xx

From what I’ve been told about ketones, they should be testing your blood ketones because your urine isn’t an accurate representation of ketones in your body. Your body requires time for ketones to be flushed out so you could have a high reading in your urine but be absolutely normal in your blood. I’ve had high ketones a few times and been told this each time. I wouldn’t worry too much

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?

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.
