Should be about 7.5-8lb+ but when a midwife measures it can be off by quite abit. Babies normally gain 0.5lb a week x

I had a scan on the 7th March and he was 4.8lb. In 12 days hes put on a lot. Should I be worried?😢

Babies go through a lot of growth from 30-40weeks, there's normally a big spurt at 33 weeks and the rest of the weight they put on is fattening up rather than actual growing, I think they are supposed to put on 200g/0.5lb a week, baby putting on weight is an excellent sign that it's getting ready for entering the world!

Mine was 6.5lb estimated at my 36 week scan and was told from then on she’d be doing about .05lb a week x

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

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
