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.

I had this constantly with my first and just had one again with my second. Different midwives have slightly different techniques so their measurements can look like baby is growing too fast or too slow when it’s not. Try not to worry!

Don’t worry! I’m 33+6. Had midwife appointment yesterday where bump was saying baby would be 90th centile.. had my growth scan and hes stayed exactly where he should be on 50th!

Hi, I was in similar position. The fungal height was little small. I was told all is well as the baby movement and heartbeats were ok. I went for the scan just to be reassured.
All was well. In my case, it was due to my height.
Dont worry, all will be well.

Fundal measurements are known to be quite inaccurate; chances are baby has changed position and that’s affected it 🤞

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Is this normal??

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and having really aching legs and they’re all lumpy and swollen. Above the knee and behind the knee . Should I be worried ? My legs have never looked like this up until a few days ago. ??
