Extra scans
Today I went in for a planned extra scan to check baby. My previous scan was done 3 weeks ago and they were measuring on the 27th percentile and weighing 4.1 and everything was looking good.
When I went in today baby is now measuring on the 75th percentile and it has only been 3 weeks and baby has gain nearly gain over 2 pounds.
Has anyone else had anyone this?
My husband and I did notice that the sonogram lady was measuring differently (trainee) to the ones who measured last time. Could the reading this time be inaccurate?

It’s very likely where they’ve measured differently. Highly unlikely they’ve actually gained that amount of weight over 3 weeks x
In my last pregnancy I had a growth scan at 38w and they estimated baby at 4kg, the sonographer said ‘that can’t be right!’ and remeasured and next min the baby was magically 3.7kg … so he apparently lost 300g (10oz) in 10 mins 🤣 (and was then 4.2kg when he was born, so she was right the first time!)
Scans this late in pregnancy are very unreliable, they admit that. They create a lot more work for themselves 🙄

Considering a c section
I need the mamas that have had a c section done. I’m done having kids after this baby (I’ll have two after this one is born) my 2 year old was a vaginal birth. I’m tryna weigh out the pros and cons on having a c section. I wanna know your experiences, how long you were in the hospital for, what your recovery time was before you felt physically “normal” again like had no pain. Now I understand everybody is different with healing and pain tolerance. I just wanna get everyone’s opinion. Also if I were to have a c section would they do the tubal ligation right then and there or would I have to come back to get it done.

Am I in labour?!!?
Can real labour contractions just start close together instead of being far apart and at inconsistent times to start then getting close???
I’m 37 +2 and I’ve had braxton hicks for weeks but just started having contractions about 20 minutes ago I’ve had 5 so far and haven’t timed them as of but they are a lot more intense and low down and I need to breathe through them. I’ve had no waters break idk if I’m just overthinking

Reduced movement
Hey. I was just thinking. What is considered as reduced movement? Assuming you normally feel your baby move 5 times a day. If they moved just 2 times on one day, 4 times the next, once the following day but next to 5 the day after. Is that reduced movement or irregular movement? At what point exactly do you call triage?

Bright red spot in whites if eye
My newborn baby girl was born 3 days ago with some bright red spots in the whites of her eyes. According to the pediatrician there was trauma while she was getting pushed out with the umbilical cord wrapped around her eyes. These are broken capillaries which fade away in 2-3 weeks but I wanted to know if anyone went through this.
Does it affect vision at all? Does the spot fade away with time? Anything I should be doing at this point?
