Owlet Misreading

Last night my owlet sock went off, buzzing red saying that babies oxygen had dipped below 80%. I rushed to check on her and she was completely fine. When I go back on the app to check her oxygen level at the time it says it dipped it says it was 97%. Has anyone else had this?
I’m just confused as to why it went off and caused me such a state of panic to then read normal!

I personally don’t rate these socks and we had a few false alarms with them.

This happened to us! He was absolutely fine. I was not!! Only ever happened the once, he was moving around before it happened so I just assumed the sock moved out of place and triggered the alarm.

I’ve had one for both of my children and never had an issue apart from once when the sock wasn’t on properly. It might have been that it just couldn’t pick up a reading at that time - I’d rather have a false alarm than no alarm in time of need. I’ve loved our owlet socks.

Growth scan concerns 36 weeks

Anyone had experience with growth scans? I’m finding the results fuelling me with anxiety! I now have to wait 2 weeks for another rescan at 38 weeks and growth clinic appointment with an obstetrician.
Basically looks like baby has been growing but sliding off the centiles, placenta and umbilical cord function are normal. At the last scan they couldn’t measure his head due to tricky positioning and they had to remeasure the femur multiple times, as they appear to have grown only a little bit in 4 weeks by 5.2mm which in centiles dropped from 41% to 17% and abdominal circumference dropped from 70% to 52%.
I must add my mum and me were both born quite small so was my daughter 2,5kg-2.9kg (under 5.5lb/6lb) despite BMI being on the high side. Not sure if it’s just genetics, I didn’t have growth scans with my daughter so can’t compare.
I had a consultant appointment yesterday and they didn’t feel any additional actions were required as a repeat scan and appt with growth clinic were booked. The only thing I can do in between is monitor baby movement closely, which doesn’t help as I end up over analysing everything!

Curious

I have a reassurance internal scan today I just wondered if anyone has any scans of 9 weeks so I have a rough idea what baby should look like at this point as I’m really worried atm because I’m having cramping on and off and not sure what cramps are concerning and what cramps are normal

I loathe the medical system in this country

So beyond getting a few different dates for delivery, being high risk because i just turned 35 but bp is good, baby fluids are good...been very prayerful theough this... I'm here to encourage anybody if you know the experience you want to have, especially a vbac please stand for what you want because no one should be able to pressure you in the medical office to do something that you don't want to do, especially when everything is in good standing.

Cervical Check?

Getting my C-Section on June 1st at 39wks. Im currently 37wks and my doctor has been asking me if I want a cervical check but I heard that it can put you into labor.
What was your experience getting a cervical check? This is my second child, repeat C-Section never went full term so I've never had a cervical check or membrane sweep
