Growth charting

Hi ladies,

I my first preganncy the baby's growth was tracked on my notes but this time I've been told it will be on growth.2.0 website. I've checked and can't see anything tracked on there so far. How are your babies growth and weight being tracked?

I’ve just checked mine, I’m also on the grow 2.0 website. I think it’s only tracked on there from 24 weeks, just going off the bottom line. In my 20 week scan, they did measure baby’s head and abdominal circumference and also femur length and these came out in 3 charts like the one in the pic

Thanks for replying! So what's on the chart is that a guideline or my tracking?

From my midwife appointment they start tracking from your 24/25 week appointment

It won’t be done via scans, but will be done based on bump measurements externally. Each appointment will be measurements, your weight, listening to heartbeat on a handheld doppler etc

Further scans wouldn’t be done after 20 weeks unless you have reduced movements, measuring outside of expected trend, or of course if the pregnancy is higher risk

I’m not sure how accurate it all is, i’ve heard of babies “measuring big” and midwifes being pushy about induction & then when the baby arrives it is average weight 🤣 but I guess their best estimate

C section belly pain

Hi! My c section was December 2024. At my 6 week checkup, i shared i had this point tender pain like an inch above and maybe .25 inches to the right of my belly button. Got an ultrasound a nothing. 15 months later im still having this point tenderness. Sometimes the pain is more apparent, sometimes baby is held a certain way and i get pain there. Not sure if a nerve thing, an adhesion, something else? Anyway thought I would ask if anyone has dealt with something similar. Did you figure out what caused it?

What does labour feel like and when do you know it started?

I have two and a half weeks to go and I'm starting to get nervous about every pain or ache I get. What does it actually feel like/ where does the pain start or come from?

Movements at 31 weeks

Felt some big movements over the last few days but then much less today. Still had some movement but fewer and not as strong. Think baby has flipped so his back is now t the front but unsure. Anyone else had days with less movements as we approach the last few weeks ?

Implant?

Has anyone else had the implant in & has been bleeding constantly since? I had my baby in December & had the implant after, been bleeding constantly & probs 1/2 days clean in total. Really starting to annoy me, I know it’s one of the side effects but still 🤦🏻‍♀️ if you experienced this, what did you do? Did you tell the doctors or anything?

Upper stomach pain

37+3 got upper stomach pain like the ache you get after being sick and straining but it's been constant for hours now.

Bubba is breech so could it just be that he's having a stretch about? It's just making me feel crappy. Anyone else have this?
