Had a growth scan today at 34+5...baby girl is now plotting on the 99th centile and a HUGE 7lb 1 already. No wonder i feel like shes going to fall out my big toe π¬π
C section is booked for 38+1 (not just because of her size). God knows how much more she will grow in the next 3 weeks and 3 days...not that im counting down the days π

I have a 93rd centile baby girl growing too lol, and Iβm 4β11β!

At 33+5 my baby was 6lb 11 and at 35+5 he was 7lb 11 π have another tomorrow and I dread to think πx

Are you all having extra scans because of baby being in higher percentile?

I felt this with my previous pregnancy, every step I took felt like I was brushing against his head. He was born at 34 weeks weighing 7lb 14oz I couldn't imagine if I carried him longer. Thankfully this time around at my 32 week scan baby was only 4lb 13oz, and they think hes only gonna be 5-6lb this time

He came naturally. Went to bed as usual, turned over and waters broke, contractions started immediately he was born on the bathroom floor 20 minutes later. Paramedics only just got here in time. I had a feeling he was gonna come early because everytime I moved I felt like his head was gonna literally pop out but didnt think he was gonna come that early π€£

Our bathrooms tiny so my partner was literally stood in the bathtub π€£ im being induced at 37 weeks this time due to the birth so we have less than 3 weeks to go and fingers crossed he stays put till then but im on strict instructions any sort of off feeling I get I've got to go straight in

This is my third pregnancy, and this time baby is measuring on the 18th centile, so on the smaller side. I had a growth scan today at 34+3 and she's estimated just a little over 5lbs.
My last pregnancy though baby was measuring big, and she was born at 39 weeks weighing 12lbs 3oz!!! You have my full sympathy - the difference in discomfort being pregnant with her compared to this one was huge π Carrying a big bub is definitely hard work!!!

was this with your third child? Xx

wow 12lbs 3oz! Did you manage to have a vaginal birth ? Xx

wow π― I thought mine were big at the 9lb mark. Biggest baby Iβve know was 10lb 2 never heard of 12lb 3oz thatβs crazy haha xx
