June 2026 Babies 🇬🇧

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

Do active babies in the womb become active newborns?

I had my 40 week ultrasound yesterday (on my due date) and the doctor mentioned how active my baby is. Curious as to your experiences regarding if your baby was active in the womb, are they likely to be active when they’re newborn? 😊

Small bumps

I have a really small bump, at 27 weeks pregnant. People keep commenting on the fact my bump is so small and its starting to worry & get me down. Has anyone here had a small bump with a baby that weighed measured average size? Its really worrying me! I have a 30 week scan and one at 37 weeks because im on a moderate pathway - had a gastric sleeve in 2023 so its to check she is growing but as the comments are coming im now panicking where I wasnt before 😫

Early Labour?

I’m 34 weeks today, since 3am I’ve been having irregular cramping which becomes quite intense and has caused me to vomit. I’ve also had diarrhoea. Could I be in early labour or could I just have a bad stomach? I feel generally well in myself

7 w post c-section running

When is it ok to start running again? Health visitor advised to wait longer before running but did anyone start at 7 weeks and how?
I know I won't be running marathons any time soon and probably have to start back at a couch to 5k but when?! I'm getting restless legs! Advice please

Movements at 31 weeks

Does anyone else feel like their movements are more subtle since being further along in the pregnancy? I can feel my baby moving inside my belly but I don't feel the movements as "strong" when I put my hand on my belly. Not sure if it's because they've changed from "kicking" to "rolling" movements.

Anyone else feel the same?
