30th Percentile Baby

Has anyone had a baby that has been plotted on the 30th percentile at 28 weeks and had a healthy birth weight? I’m freaking out because my first born was on the 97th percentile so obviously the difference between this baby is so different. My midwife didn’t comment on whether this is ok or not but I got home and cried my eyes out because I’ve been so stressed in this pregnancy already and now have this to worry about 😭

You just have a smaller baby. I don't remember which percentile mine was in, but I carry small babies and it's always less than 50. They told me my daughter's head was small and wanted me to get more imaging done, but she was just a 6.6 little bean and perfectly healthy ☺️

Same story with me, I'm 33 weeks now and since 28 weeks this baby measures around 30th Vs the 95th+ that my first did all the way. I asked the midwife and also did a private scan but literally it's just a smaller baby, nothing worrying! You should try to not worry either, under 10th percentile is where midwives ask for more scans etc but around 30th is absolutely normal! Sending lots of love!

My first was on 17th centile and was born 6lb 11, don’t panic too much. 30 is fine x

On mine, there's a section on the 2nd page called Biometry / Anatomy and one of the headings is 'Centile'. Not sure if all NHS trusts have the exact same layout though!

I was worried for my baby he was in the 11 percentile up until 30+ weeks. He was born 7lb 7oz. Those numbers will fluctuate up and down don’t stress

Friends wedding abroad

Hi all. I know this is FTM... But really need advice. I am currently pregnant with baby #2. Only 8 weeks. I didn't want to tell anyone yet, my partner and boss knows (needed for risk assessment reasons annoyingly). My friend is getting married in a remote part of Spain in ~3 months. I've already had a few minor complications, pain, bleeding, vanishing twin... I got preeclampsia last pregnancy and a terrible birth.
I am pretty sure I don't feel comfortable flying and then travelling out to a remote part of Spain during pregnancy. It will just be me and my toddler. I know it's overcautious but I just don't feel comfortable. I'm not even sure if I am going to be classified as high risk pregnancy or not.
How do I handle this? I need to tell her ASAP, but I didn't really want to tell anyone yet as doc told me miscarriage risk is a bit increased with vanishing twin. Any ideas?

Anxious/depressed

My first pregnancy symptom was my anxiety out of nowhere. I feel like I'm a bundle of nerves and just so scared of everything. Is anyone else feeling similar? How are you managing? Are we contributing it to hormones?

I did the sneak peek test at 15 weeks pregnant, and the results just came back girl! Has anyone ever taken the test, gotten girl, and it been wrong?
