Has anyone been given expected birth weight?

My last scan was 33+6 and my boys were 4lb 13 & 5lb 4 . Now I’m being told they’re expected to be 6.5-7lb at birth depending on which day in the 37 weeks they’re born 🫣 (average for this type of twins is 5.5-6lb)

With my oldest I was told he’d be 10lb + at 40 weeks but we only made it to 38+3 and he was 7lb 13oz so not sure how true that wouldn’t been (although his curve was perfectly inline with his birthweight still doesn’t seem correct to me )

Really interested to see what others have been projected to be and if you think it’ll be correct

Wow that’s a good weight already! Mine was weighing 5lb at 35 weeks 🤣 I’ve not been told a birth weight however with my daughter they said she’d be huge however she was 7lb and I had her at 39 weeks xx

I had my scan on Monday at 35 weeks and baby was 6lbs 6oz and I was told if she carries on like that she would be estimated 8lbs 5oz at birth which personally I’m taking with a pinch of salt as with my first baby she was always at the bottom of the grow chart and they told me she would be born at 5lbs and be small but she actually came out at 6lbs 15 & 1/2. Not saying they’re wrong but I think sometimes it’s hard to determine exactly how much they weigh🙂

Mucus plug

Does a mucus plug come with no blood? When I wiped there was a very thick clear substance but no blood. Could that be my mucus plug?? I’m abt to be 41 weeks.

Elective C Section

Hi ladies 👋🏻 I'm planning an Elective c section in August on my first. I'm wondering when does this usually get booked in? My parents live in Ireland and want to come over when baby is born to help. So it would be good to have an idea of when it will be!

Baby things!

Heyy, I’m having my first baby in about a month from now and I’m not too sure if I have what I need…

Can any of you mama’s please share with me what you found are MUST HAVES and things that you can’t live without??
I’m also planning on breastfeeding if that makes any difference in answers. Any advice helps 🙏🏼🫶🏼

Baby names

I need help with unique kinda vintage vibe but open to anything really. I have 2 kids charlotte (Charlie) 3 and Oliver 1. I want to stay away from the basic names but not too crazy. Since this is my 3rd and last pregnancy i wanted I different experience and wait for the gender till birth so I need both gender name ideas

Also would like to incorporate my kiddos or at least my oldest picking the name from a selected few if anyone has any fun ideas on that Id appreciate !

Hardest stage so far

Hi everyone FTM here. I’m feeling very overwhelmed with my LG now being able to crawl. She wants to move and stand and walk but gets frustrated with herself. Seems like she’s cried all day every day for the past week. She’s refusing naps, not really hungry and doesn’t really want to “play”. I am really struggling and feeling like I don’t know what I’m doing all over again.

Does anyone have any advice on how I can find a new routine or get used to this? Maybe some daily activities you do with your babies to occupy them? I feel like I’m fighting for my life until bedtime and it’s making me really sad.

Small birthday party

Would you be upset if family / close friends didn’t come to your little ones first birthday party? Just a small get together at home & in the garden having food and celebrating their first year of life?
