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.

Vbac hope!

I had an emergency c-section and like most it just was the complete opposite of everything I had hoped my birthing experience would be like. I’d really to try for VBAC next time but absolutely petrified of uterine rupture… anyone else the same?

Anatomy scan

Got an anatomy scan today and a little late on the OBGYN stuff but getting caught up and my baby boy was trying to flip his feet over his head so that explains the jumps in my stomach and the pressure on my bladder!!! He also did a peace sign ✌️ sometimes during these visits it feel so surreal knowing a baby is growing inside of you!! 🤧

Prolapse??

I'm on my second pregnancy and had an episiotomy and stitches with my first. There was mention of an internal tear but no one gave me any details. This was 4.5 years ago and I often had sensations of feeling like there was a weight coming down and was a little lax with my pelvic floor exercises. I also used to experience a lot of discomfort with internal examinations and sometimes with intercourse but after healing up I no longer get this. Intercourse is easy now and continues to be enjoyable with no pain. I'm 28 weeks now and looked in a mirror the other day and can see a slightly smaller than pea sized lump sticking out the bottom of my vagina. Could this be a prolapse? Scar tissue? I'm not even sure who to discuss this with - is it a GP, midwife or consultant issue? Any advice would be appreciated please.
