31 weeks appt - bump measurement

Hi! Just had my 31 week appt and my bump is measuring above the 97th percentile. Has anyone had this and then had a baby of average size? We have a growth scan next week.

Yes! I measured 100th centile at 20 weeks scan then over 90th centile for around 3 appointments in a row, had growth scan at 31 weeks and she was then measuring 81st centile so they discharged us, she came out 40+6 on 75th centile - 8lb 7oz

A lot of trusts don’t do the bump measurements at all anymore because they are notoriously inaccurate. I had 2 diff midwives measure my bump in the same apt and they got diff measurements. I honestly wouldn’t pay any attention!

Im 36 weeks and never once had a fundal measurement this pregnancy. I did with my last pregnancy and the whole time it measured higher on the charts I was told at 37 weeks my son would be born around 10lbs. And was born at 39 weeks and 4 days at 7lb1. My.midwife this time said they dont do fundal measurements at that trust anymore because of how inaccurate they are. They change dramatically based on bmi. Fetal position and even how hydrated you are

Baby's stomach measuring big at 20 weeks

I had my 20 week scan yesterday and everything looked perfect apart from the baby's stomach was measuring a bit bigger than expected. Has anyone else had this and what did it mean? They have told me not to worry and that because I already have a gestational diabetes test in June they don't need to book one.

Maybe a April baby not a May one

So I'm not due till May 10th but with how my body has been feeling the last couple days I reckon I'll definitely not make it to my due date or even to May before I have my baby 😅 the intense pressure I've had has been insane I can't walk more then 5 mins without being in pain, slowly started loosing my mucus plug yesterday and then today I feel like my body is having a clear out 😬 i genuinely feel like my body is preparing 😅(I hope so)
I have a growth scan next week but my consultant said on my last appointment (2 weeks ago) that I might not make it to my next scan 😅 like sorry hun I think you know something I don't 😂

32 week ultrasound

Yesterday I had my 32-week ultrasound at 32W4D. I read the results and it says based on the size of my baby I am 35 weeks with an EDD of May 19th. Lucky for me, I track everything on my phone, so I know that isn't possible. I have an appointment with my OBGYN on Monday but I'm wondering whether they are just telling me my baby is big? Has anyone else been in the same boat before and still had the original due date? I was set on a June baby 😅

Growth scan scaring me thinking I’m gonna have a massive baby 👶🏼

So I had a growth scan at 27 weeks and baby was plotting on 50th centile. Had another growth scan today at 32 weeks and they’ve said he weighs around 4lb 10 😳 they haven’t reported and plotted on my chart yet but that sounds like a lot when I still have 8 weeks left 🙈🤣

Odd feeling!

Hi all. 18+3 here with first baby 🩷. Today I’ve had some odd sensations. It’s in a similar area period pains would be, but it’s not a cramp- it’s very quick. It almost feels like a ‘swoop’ rather than a cramp or pain 🤔. Has anyone had this? Should I be concerned? As I say, it’s not happening constantly, and it’s maybe a second or less at a time, no pattern. Very quick and just feels like swoop feeling from the inside with a mild uncomfy feeling but not really painful?

first baby and I’m clueless. Thankyou!
