Looking for anyone who may have been through the same!

I had my 36 week growth scan yesterday and baby’s weight has dropped from the 34th percentile to the 10th. On top of this they also found what they’re querying to be a cyst on baby’s kidney or spleen. I’ve been referred to fetal medicine for them to review and baby has been referred to Peads for when it’s born. I’m super anxious and upset at the moment with all the uncertainty about what happens next. They’ve mentioned I might not be able to give birth in my local hospital and go to one with a SCBU which is 1.5 hours from my house. I understand this may best for baby but with a 4 year old at home I’m just full of anxiety.
If anyone can reassure me or has been through anything similar that would be great!

My next scan is the 9th and I’m 36 + 3 today. The anticipation is horrible!

I had issues with growth with my first too. Shes 19 months tomorrow. They're more worried about growth this time as hes dropped in centile whereas my first was always measuring small. There is potential that I'll be induced on the 8th or I can choose baby's induction day. At the moment we're working towards the worst and being induced on the 8th. Happy for you to PM me and we can panic and cry together ❤️

Hormone drip

I’m being induced on Wednesday, with my first baby I was induced but I can’t remember if I had the hormone drip as I was so out of it from gas and air and pethidine.

Can I refuse it this time? As I’ve heard it makes contractions more painful, or can I say if I do need the hormone drip, I will need an epidural can the 2 coincide?

christening/naming ceremony

did anyone have a christening or naming ceremony for their little one? what would you recommend? my boy is 2 months old so i’m not thinking right this second but i want to do something for him. i was baptised as a baby although i don’t follow a religion as of current. it will be my family and friends attending as the father isn’t involved, but that still adds up to a pretty decent turn out. what was everyone’s experiences? tell me everything!

Breech or Head down

How can I tell if my baby is still breech? At 31 weeks she was completely breech and I’m unsure on how to tell if she’s flipped head down or not?

Growth charts

Has anyone else not get access to the baby’s growth charts. I’m not sure if I made it up that I should have access or not.

If you do was it through an app or website.

Sorry 39 weeks and brain fog is crazy 😂

16 week appointment…

Mine is next week so I’ll be early 17 weeks. What does the appointment entail? Has anyone else had theirs? Do we get a scan?
