28wk5days growth scan📈

I’ve just been to my first growth scan as my bump was measuring small, for the lady to say that baby should be between 2pound 2ounces - 2pound 5ounces and my baby is measuring 2pound 15ounces which is above average, any one else has similar measurements?x

Yesss at 28 weeks exactly my baby measured 3lbs 2oz which is big but not concerningly big! Some babies are just bigger. His tummy is on the 96th percentile but I don’t have GD so they weren’t concerned about that either x

Huh 🤔 how it 2lb 2 - 2lb 5 normal for 28 weeks 🤔 I’ve had my 26+5 weeks scan today (so 2 weeks behind you) and my 2lb 2 baby is to small ! But my 2lb 6 baby is ‘growing perfectly’

I honestly think each hospital makes their own numbers up

Did you get referred because of the difference between your 25 week measurement and your one at 28 week? The bump measurement system seems so ridiculous to me.

I literally would take this with a pinch of salt. They shouldn’t even be measuring your bump until your 28 weeks minimum anyway xx

It’s likely fine the sonographers have their own chart which is not personalised but most hospital also do personalised growth charts I had scan at 28+5 and my baby is 3lb 4oz which is 80th centile on their chart but 87.6 on my personalised one x

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
