Please don't judge me but I'm 39 weeks pregnant and farting up a storm 🤣🫣

What does this mean???
It's not painful, not trapped gas or anything, diet is the same pretty much, not usually someone who passes gas very much but since yesterday I have been farting SO much, like big, loud earth shaking 🤣🤣 please help! Is it baby? Is it labour?? I have a sweep tomorrow and I'm terrified in case I let a big one rip right in the midwifes face 😭😭

Are you pooping okay? Sometimes it's that you haven't emptied completely, and with the hormones and the baby pressing down, it just sometimes happens.
I remember my husband helping me put on a pregnancy belt (starting at like early 2nd trimester) and just letting loose (no smell, just loud!) because the pressure was removed and then having to rush to use the potty. I was also put on colace shortly after to help with the constipation.
Luckily my husband was very understanding! 😆
Tell the midwife your concerns before your sweep, so that if it happens, at least she was forewarned. Anyway, they're medical professionals, it shouldn't faze them!

Is my baby too active

I’m 20 weeks this week and I also have an anterior placenta. I was told I wouldn’t feel anything till later. But I feel like my baby is already very active. I feel multiple kicks within a minute sometimes and they don’t feel like flutters. Is something wrong with my baby. Should I be worried ?

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?

GTT at 38 weeks?

I've already done it once this pregnancy as a fasting blood test only but today I had a growth scan and in the last 4 weeks baby has gone from 44th to 76th centile and I have slightly increased fluid. They want me to repeat the GTT, however it's not booked until next Thursday by which point I'll be 38 weeks. I'm already down for an elective c-section so by the time they get the results and put anything into place I'll be near enough having the baby anyway. I just don't see why they're bothering this close? Like if it was a major concern surely they'd fit me in rather than let another whole week go by when I'm already at the end of pregnancy.

I'm going to call and ask them tomorrow to confirm if it's necessary and explain why. Happy to do it if they've got an actual reason rather than just because it's the done thing in this scenario but otherwise it's just a bit of a nuisance for everyone.
