Anatomy Scan
Had my anatomy scan at 21 weeks and 1 day!! It was a very healthy, average-growth baby boy scan. He was in the 46th percentile and was 14oz! Baby boy’s head is huge lol in the 81st percentile! His femur measured a bit low in the 13th percentile so I’m a bit worried and overthinking but that really doesn’t mean much rn it could just be how he was positioned during measurement or he might have slightly shorter legs right now. I’ve heard boys have growth spurts in the 3rd trimester. Anyone else’s babies femur measured low and ended up having a growth spurt?

I have no advice or anything but I just wanted to say congratulations on your baby boy 💞 and I'm having my anatomy scan on Thursday! Hoping your baby and my baby are both happy and healthy :)
My firsts measurements changed percentile nearly every scan, and I had a lot of scans (mfm weekly from 31 weeks plus 3 anatomy scans because he was stubborn).
His belly huge and then back to average and back multiple times, his legs were small and then average and then big and then average.
Babies don't always grow in a linear way.
So cute! I wish my doctor would tell me about percentiles. They won’t give me that information because I don’t know when my last period was… but they were still able to calculate my due date and everything so I don’t know why they can’t just base it off of that.
I’ve had two anatomy scans though and both came back as my baby boy being perfectly healthy so that’s what’s most important at least.

First scan :)
I had my first scan and baby is looking very healthy so far! (Measuring around 9 weeks) I do have some health problems and considered high risk so it was a big relief to know that so far everything is going okay

Heartburn
I’m 31 weeks pregnant and in the last few weeks I’m really struggling with heartburn. Mostly at night. Rennie doesn’t help at all anymore. Anyone else got the same issue? Any tips?
