Baby measuring 2 weeks ahead

So I’m 32.5 weeks and had my growth scan ultrasound today for baby and he’s measuring about 2-2.5 weeks ahead so they’re scheduling another growth scan in 3 weeks to check on him.
Is anyone else’s baby measuring this much ahead? Or have your prior babies measured 2 weeks ahead? Does this mean the likelihood of baby coming sooner than my due date is higher? I’m so nervous 🫠
(Also was negative for gestational diabetes)

My baby is measuring the same. She was 5 pounds and 4oz at my last scan and in the 98th percentile. I’m also really nervous about her being born early. I have my next scan on the 13th and I have a feeling she’s going to be like 7 pounds at her next scan. 😭

I had this happen too while I was at 29 weeks. It didn’t adjust my due date. I’m now at 35 weeks and he measuring closure to my actual week. It seems to be the ebb and flows of growth according to my doctor who said he’s not concerned

That happens often. Sometimes babies have growth spurts or sometimes machines are jot very accurate

My baby is measuring almost 4 weeks ahead at 33 weeks. Already weighing 6lbs. I have fluctuating moderate Poly with no GD but possible insulin resistance

34 weeks baby is a lil over 6 pounds

Okay thank you everyone this makes me feel so much better! Maybe my ultrasound tech was having a rough morning because she was making me feel like it was my fault somehow🫠 or saying I have to have gestational diabetes and need to be tested again.
I had my first at 34 weeks and he was fairly big for being early but they never had concerns like she did yesterday🫠

He’s measuring ahead and I’m also measuring like two weeks ahead! I’ll find out next week if we’re moving up my 36 week scan sooner. I will be 33 weeks tomorrow

Anyone else up feeding their Bebe?

As above. Trying so hard to keep my eyes open

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. ??

Induction experience

I just wanted to share my experience with being induced as I wasn’t sure what to expect and thought it may help others.

I opted for the foley balloon which was inserted at 8am Saturday morning, I had to stay in hospital due to hypertension and protein urine however usually you can just go home once this has been done. The insertion of the balloon was not painful, was slightly uncomfortable as there was slight pressure. I actually found having the cervix checked prior to be worse (again not painful at this point just uncomfortable) The balloon had little effect and after having it removed I was still only 1cm. Removal also was pain free and hardly even noticeable.

I then had my first dose of the gel and definitely noticed a difference, I started experiencing period like cramps almost immediately however they were light and manageable. After 6 hours I had another cervix check and although my cervix was soft it was still only 1cm and was only open at the front. I had another dose of the gel and felt an increase in pressure and more intense cramping where I now required pain relief (codeine). After another 6 hours I had another cervix check and I had now dilated to 2-3cm however was still quite difficult to get all the way through so a third gel was recommended which I agreed to.

Almost immediately I noticed the difference and was in considerable pain, I had paracetamol and codeine however the contractions had now become intense and a lot closer together (around 3 minutes apart). After a couple of hours I had my last cervix check and was 4cm and taken down to the Labour ward to have my waters broken and an epidural.

I had been in my room for approx 20minutes when my waters broke by themselves and I was now 10cm and actively pushing…. There was no time for the epidural and my beautiful girl arrived into the world within 2 minutes of pushing.

All in all I would say the cramps/contractions were manageable up until the third gel where it became pretty unbearable however it was for a very short time a gas and air helped take the edge off. The worst part about any of it was actually the later cervix checks where after stimulating the cervix my contractions were at their most painful.

If I had to be induced again I would skip the balloon and opt for the gels immediately as thy had a quicker effect and I would have been out a lot sooner if I had done this to begin with.

One more thing, I’ve never believed when people say “you forget the pain once they’re here” but I can honestly say this is true. It’s been 4 days and I would do it all again in a heartbeat.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Gave birth (vagina) 5 days ago and yesterday morning and this morning getting lot of pain in my right bottom side and lower back

It’s my birthday tomorrow.

Ok so I am going to be 35 years young. I can’t believe how much this life has thrown at me but it’s okay I’m a survivor. I am truly blessed to be alive. 🥳🧁🎂 The only downside is I won’t be celebrating my birthday because my man can’t take me out. So many emotions right now.

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?
