Giant baby??

Anyone else shaping up to have a huge baby?? I’m consistently measuring in the 95+% centile (32 weeks). Midwife seems very relaxed about it, but has said that if it’s still tracking this big around 36 weeks they might want to scan me and discuss early induction or an elective section. My first labour was very long and traumatic (with a 40th centile totally average baby!!) and I am getting a bit nervous about the prospect of delivering a mega-baby. Equally I don’t know how I can keep growing another 2 months! Curious what other mums of apparently chonky little ones are thinking…

At 30 weeks measuirng to have 98% centile baby girl. Apart from getting me tested for pregnancy diabetes no other steps were done, I have tested negative as well.
First pregnancy I kept messing on a small side with everyone saying I will have a tiny baby, turned out they were wrong my girl was 96% centile came out 37+5 (3.7kg).

Same here, i decided to ask for a c section which is usually 1 week before your due date.

Miscarriage

I have 2 babies and my tubes were tied during the csection of my youngest baby.
I went into hospital on the weekend with stomach pain turns out its a early miscarriage im in alot of pain iv had a injection to help it along and they've clarified it was in my tubes so atleast I know the tubes being tied worked just still fell pregnant in the tubes. Even tho I oviously couldnt have being in the tube I am a little.upset even tho i chose to tie my tubes as I dont want amy more kids am I being silly feeling a little sad about it. I dont really know how I'm suppose to feel.

This is fun! How old does he look like?

Maybe it's getting boring to people but I'm also curious how old my baby boy looks.

Not feeling myself

Just wanted to see if anyone else is feeling similar to me. I have a 4 year old and almost 6 month old and I have been severely sleep deprived for 4 years. I used to be fit and slim, going to the gym every day, but I haven’t had the energy to keep it up and have put on so much weight. I love being a mum and wouldn’t change a thing about the last 4 years but I don’t feel like myself at all and feel uncomfortable going out because of the weight gain. It feels like such an uphill battle to try and get back to being active and one I can’t do until I can get some reliable sleep! Feels hard with the summer coming up as well, maybe I just need to embrace my mum bod but it’s not easy!
