Mama’s told you were measuring big, how did you get your percentile down?

I was told 97 percentile at 20 week scan and 90 percentile at 28 week scan. I was hoping the first was inaccurate but it’s seems they are tracking large.

Any tips to get the percentile down safely before birth? I’m worried it’s food/exercise related. Any one get told more than once baby was tracking large but they came out a lower percentile?

Any tips appreciated🙏

Hi, I was told I was measuring big . Baby was 2 weeks ahead. I kept repeating glucose test and blood test and everything was fine . Baby is healthy and strong and 99.7% growth :) just a strong tall healthy baby . I’d suggest listen to your body and your doctor. If they have concern about weight then try to regulate . But if they are not concerned then maybe you will just have a big baby 😊 either way as long as you and baby are healthy 🧡 the only thing with big babies is higher chances for c sections. You got this mama!!

I just had my growth scan last week, and they said my baby was measuring bigger than average. I’ve worked out pretty much my entire pregnancy and have had a pretty healthy diet. I think sometimes it’s just out of our control.

They told me my baby was measuring big too over 10 pounds ! I got induced and he ended up weighing 9.7 pounds sometimes the scale isn’t accurate

Some things are out of our control. My 4yro son has been in the 95% since his womb days. It's weird because my husband and I are average height/weight but my son was 9lbs at 39 weeks and has been big since 😅 to the point that strangers have been asking if he and his 6yro sister are twins lol

My baby was measuring in the 90th percentile for her entire time in my belly.

She’s really in the 2nd percentile outside the womb 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

Have I dropped??

Hey girls, I’m 29+6 and I really can’t tell if I’ve dropped or not already. I will try and add a photo from last week in the replies as I can’t add two to the post.

6 week check post partum

I’m now 8 weeks 3 days post partum and my baby had her 6-8 week check today but I haven’t had any follow up check like I’ve heard other people have at 6 weeks… am I supposed to make the appointment myself? I last saw my midwife at around 5 days post partum and the health visitor last came out at around 6 weeks.

I thought that I’d have my check at the same time as my baby at the doctors but they only checked her so I’m not sure what to do.

Mucus plug & Bloody show

I’m 38+3 and had my second membrane sweep this morning. TMI, but I’ve started losing my mucus plug and have also had my bloody show. How long after this did people go into labour?

Missed miscarriage

I went for my scan yesterday & what should’ve been a 12 week old baby, I unfortunately only had an empty sac of 8 weeks with no baby. Unfortunately i had a missed miscarriage whilst my body still thinks I’m pregnant.

I will be leaving this group but I hope everyone has a safe delivery for their April babies.

Hospital Bag

I need to start doing my hospital bag
But what kind of bag/bags are you planning on using please?

Levi or?

We have a Violet and we’re planning another baby. We agree on Levi for a boy, but I don’t really know what I like for a girl. I like strong vowel sounds, florals or floral adjacent, and classic but uncommon names. Our last name starts with S so that makes names ending in the S sound (like Alice or Iris) sound awful. Must be 2 syllables! Any suggestions?
