Growth scan
Just had a growth scan 35 + 2 and they said baby is weighing 3.5lbs, I had a growth scan at 28 weeks and he was 3lbs then. I’m back for a scan in 2 weeks but they said if he drops again they will look to induce me at 37-38 weeks now I’m scared!

Don't be scared, my niece was born at 34 weeks weighing 3lb 3oz and she's a perfectly healthy 3 year old and you'd never know she was a premmy, she spent a month in the nicu until she weighed 4lb
I’m in the same situation. Next growth scan at 37 weeks and they’ll look to induce if babies not grown enough. I’m thinking of pushing for a csection rather than induction though.
Just gave birth to my 2.05 kg baby , I had the same problem, baby weighed on the 2nd centile. So doctors asked me to be induced at 36+6 weeks as uterine artery showed more resistance Did not enjoy the process but atleast he is here safe and sound. We were in the hospital for a week as he got newborn jaundice
Sadly yes my scans were accurate x

Emergency C-Section
Hey mums, 20 days post emergency c section after a failed induction at 39 weeks. I experienced placental abruption and then developed sepsis after birth spent 5 days in hospital in total.
I was in so much pain and experienced a lot of trauma from the c-section including being on oxygen etc. Did anyone else experience anything similar and how did you find recovery? It’s been tough🩵

I'd do it all over again for that beautiful face. Meet babygirl Charlize born on September 16th 2026 at 1:52pm. Can only post her pics here cause Dad doesn't want them all over my other social media pages.

Different movement at 28 weeks
Looking for anyone who’s had a similar experience! Up until now my baby has been very active through the day with strong punches and kicks but over the past 48 hours, the movements have changed to more gentle rolls and bulges. I also think he’s sitting low as I’ve been feeling pressure and some aching down there. Would appreciate hearing if anyone’s had anything similar!

Looking for positive c section stories 🙏
I’m 37 weeks with my second baby. First baby was a vaginal birth (not a good experience in honesty but that’s a story for another day!), but this baby is breech and has been for at least 10 weeks 🫠 So I’m facing the potential of needing an elective section.
I am trying to come to terms with it, but my biggest worry is the spinal. Does anyone have any positive c section stories - especially any reassurance about the spinal is welcomed 🙏
Photo just so I don’t get lost 😊

Engaged
Had midwife appointment today, baby is 3/5 engaged! Currently 38+3. Hoping she comes soon but I know it doesn't really mean a lot 😂
Have a sweep booked in next week if nothing happens before. Never had one before so feel a bit nervous for it, whats it like? Does it work? I've heard conflicting things but hoping to get baby out before due date to avoid c-section!
3rd baby if that makes any difference 🤷♀️ 1st was born 40+1 spontaneous labour, 2nd was c section, so hoping for vbac this time round 🤞🏻 however have agreed to repeat section if i hit due date and nothing has happened.

Gender reveal
Hi guys. Had my anamoly scan today. They informed it will be baby girl. But they checked once and then confirmed. But is there any chance it could be wrong?
Though I am happy to have a girl and preferred to have girl but I wasn’t convinced by my midwife as she checked only once🫣
