Gestational weight..

Interested to know if anyone else has experienced this!

At my growth scan was told baby had dropped to the 37th percentile from the 65th so we’ve got a scan for two weeks time, how ever my question is had anyone experienced this before? And basically if you had did your baby continue to drop or did they gain in weight..
Sorry just a very anxious mum 🙃

Mine dropped from 80 to 20, had 3 scans every 2 weeks and at the last he was back up to 60.. worth baring in mind that it’s only estimates. If your first scan was the 20 week scan measuring off by 1mm can make a huge difference in their estimate as they are so tiny!

My experience- my little one was 25th centile at 27 weeks and then dropped to 5th centile at 32 weeks. 34 weeks she was the 7th centile and then I have another scan next week at 37 weeks. So they were happy she went up slightly. They checked the placenta and umbilical cord twice and happy everything is working fine, I was worried sick but please try not to and take the numbers with a pinch of salt x

Thanks for the response!
Well honestly he’s dropped every growth scan, so 90th then 65th now 37th! Soo my scan in two weeks determines if I had an early C-section from 37weeks!
I had a still born March 2024, i delivered her at 24weeks soo my anxiety is high with this pregnancy 🙃

I'm so sorry to hear you had a still born, no wonder you're full of anxiety. Hopefully on the next scan he hasn't dropped and has gained 🫶🏼

My son went from 50th, 90th, 96th, 98th then started to drop we got to 86th and they said I had to get him out asap, they said it wasn’t common for a big baby to drop, it’s common in smaller babies to drop. They booked an induction , he came the day before naturally. He was 8 days early so 38w 6d and 8lb tiny but very long.

My baby was 80th centile at 28 weeks, 78th at 32 but they said that it’s normal as they’re so close together and then at 35 weeks he was 60th centile but their computer programme wasn’t worried about it

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Little girl turning herself sideways in next to me

My little girl tonight, has spun herself so she is lying sideways in her next to me, making me panic!

Is this normal at 4.5 months, do I just lie her back normally/vertically?

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!

Ways to induce labor naturally

Hi All! FTM, Entering week 40 and no signs of labor, no dilation yet. Please share tips and ways to induce natural labor. Induction is already scheduled on week 41 but don’t want to go through that process.
