Needing advice

So I’ve just been for my growth scan, I’m currently 35+4wks
They said baby is weighing at 5.4lb so he’s below average.. what will happen next? I see my consultant on Thursday but i have never had this happen in my previous pregnancies x

Hey. Dont panic or worry about it too much! I had the same thing happen to me. They said my baby was small, so I had to have monitoring twice a week and scans every week. They said if the scans continued to show that she was small they would induce me, regardless of the monitoring results. Remember that the scans are not 100% accurate and as long as baby is moving well and the monitoring shows they are doing well, MOST of the time (not all the time) it is fine. When my baby came (the day before they wanted to discuss induction with me) she was perfectly fine and not below average or small. And I have heard a lot of other women go through similar things and discover that the baby is fine when they deliver.

Stay calm, you're doing great! 🫶🏾

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃
