Hey! I was at 31 weeks, I think protocol (or at least in wales) is that they have to get you in within 72 hours. I was contacted the same day. I would try not to worry, my scan showed the baby was actually on the 83rd percentile so it’s just how my body is (I’m quite tall) that means my bump is on the smaller size.

Any concerns should be addressed via scan within 48-72 hours it’s the nhs protocol so I’d imagine you’d hear from them tomorrow.

Wouldn’t worry , bump measurements are so inaccurate . Scan measurements have a 10-15% leeway and fundal height is even more inaccurate that’s why they don’t use it with high risk pregnancies

I was 28 weeks and measured tiny (below 3rd centile) on bank holiday Friday. Had phonecall on Tuesday and scan on Thursday (6 days later) which put them at 50th centile.
Have another scan next week (3 weeks later) to be sure they are still tracking 50th centile.
Apparently I have a strong core, long torso and I am tall which all added to it.

Bleeding

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice on who I should contact about this.

I had my baby back in October and had the depo injection afterwards. Since giving birth, I’ve had ongoing discharge and I’m currently waiting to see a gynaecologist about it. However, I had sex last Sunday and I’ve been bleeding ever since (over a week now). I haven’t had any pain, but it’s worrying me.

I know you’re usually under the midwife for a year after birth — should I contact them about this, or has anyone else experienced something similar and can suggest who I should speak to?

I’m just not sure what to do next 😭

Baby head not engaged

I’m 38w3days and had a midwife appointment this morning where they said her head isn’t fully engaged in the pelvis yet, it’s slightly to the left.. she didn’t seem to think it’s an issue but now I’m panicking a little, is this normal for a FTM at this stage? I’ve been doing so much walking and hip circles/bouncing on ball too!
