Growth spurt

At 28 weeks what percentile is everyone’s baby on? My last growth scan at 26 weeks shown that he was on the 8th percentile and now today at 28weeks he’s jumped to the 37th percentile. This is quite a growth spurt so I’ll be having another scan in two weeks but I was wondering if anyone has experienced this or what percentile their baby is on

I had my last growth scan at 28 weeks and she was on the 46th centile, I have another on Tuesday at 32 weeks so I’ll update but they do start getting bigger more rapidly in final trimester x

Also when they measure your bump take it with a pinch of salt my bumps measuring the 97th centile and I’d only had the growth scan the day before which is more accurate x

I’ve never had my bump measured and I didn’t in my first pregnancy either idk why aha x

Oh really, maybe it’s cause your having regular growth scans cause that’s usually what they do it for to see if you need one but my community midwife isn’t a different hospital to where I’m giving birth so I get both 😂xx

@Georgia my midwife didn't measure at 28 weeks as I'd had a growth scan that morning, she said she won't at 32 weeks either as I have another that week.

Bump was measuring small at 28w appointment around 3rd percentile so had a growth which showed actually they were 49th so they were happy and no more scans needed unless flagged by midwife. Had my bump measured again this week at 31w, and measuring now 90th percentile 😂. The bump measurements are so inaccurate. I have been told that they do tend to have a growth spurt around now so that would make sense

C - section

Hello lovelies, I’m getting closer to my date of c section.

Can I ask how it all went for you? I felt prepared and now I have this awful feeling what if I bleed out! I’m sure that’s not the case. But I just wondered how it went, and how the aftermath was. I have seen on social media people say it’s horrendous but then I speak to friends and family and they’re like yeah it’s not easy but you can cope! You can walk, etc. I think it’s the unknown… lol!

Also were you all sick during your procedure and did you all get terrible trapped gas? If so what tips do you have xx

Can you see anything? I’m 12 DPO 🙏

My own opinion is that this is inconclusive (can maybe see a vvvfl but could also be an indent too hard to tell) but curious what others see

Just want to sleep again! 🫩

I wake up around 8.30am, have some cereal, meditate/pray for a bit, make a cuppa and then by 10am I’m tired again and could easily nap. My iron levels have been checked and were fine. Is it just me or is anyone else feeling like this? I’m currently 35 weeks pregnant 👀

Princess birthday party

My child will be turning 5 over the summer and they’ve asked for a princess party but keep changing their mind on which princess they’d like to most their party so have said I can choose 🙈 which princess would your child have chosen at a similar age or if you’ve been to a few princess parties which one was best?
