Was told at 20 week scan that the baby was too small, we are now having growth scans and have been told my placenta isn't working properly and the baby is on the 3th percentile anyone had this experience?.

I dont have any experience with the placenta, but my baby was measuring small, then born preterm, she is a small baby overall but healthy and happy.

Same as above comment. Baby measuring small at 24 weeks so had growth scans throughout pregnancy and luckily he just kept on the same curve. He was born at 39 weeks as his growth had stopped at 5lb15oz so was still small! Don’t have experience with the placenta though, hope it’s not too serious!xx

I had this but at my 38 week midwife appointment. Every midwife appointment I was always on the verge of being too small but she was then concerned at the 38 week appointment. I was sent for a scan and then taken in for an induction as like you, they were worried my placenta wasn’t working properly. Little one is small, (5lb4oz when born) but happy and healthy!

Staying home means watching this all day with no break — toddler keeps hurting the baby 😭

There is no clocking out. no break from watching it happen. I am home all day managing two kids where one keeps going for the other and I have nothing left by the end of the day. the love is completely there. so is the exhaustion. anyone else carrying this? 💙

First Father's day

Ladies...what are you getting for his first father's day? Ideas please. Trying to plan in advance because my memory is utter shite right now 😅

Hi ! So i was told i had complete placenta previa since the beginning of my pregnancy . My most recent scan said it is now low lying at 28w5days? Ive been having alot of anxiety just playing the guessing game.

Im just one of those people that need to know the plan and hate just wondering lol . Has anyone else experienced the same thing ? Does it move ? Im currently 31 weeks . And have my check up/follow up from that most recent scan tomorrow .

Vbac close after c section

Has anyone successfully had a vbac after a c section close together - closer than the recommended 18 month wait time ?

need advice

Im just wondering if there is any one out there that is past 37 weeks had a scan done and seen that there little one is engaged?
I had alot of movement yesterday/last night with my little one. Going to go to bed and the cramping started but they didn't last long and adventually I was able to go to bed.
I woke up the morning able to get out of bed straight away walk and didn't have a limp like I usually done with my sciatica and also was able to sit oj my bed and bend over to pick my phone up of the ground that was on charge with out my belly getting in the way.
I dont see my consultant until Monday so will be all the wiser then if baby is engaged I just hope he is and thats what the cramping was for

Reassurance

Just wondering if anyone else went through this. I’m genuinely anxious

So I’m 18 weeks pregnant, and I started spotting around 12pm today. I thought nothing of it because it can sometimes be normal. But I kept spotting till 8pm. I went to the er and they said that the baby is very low on my pelvis when he should be higher by now. The ultrasound showed the heartbeat (I wasn’t shown it) and they said that everything looks normal but they can’t do more testing because there was no one at the lab to test my blood samples or swab. They sent me home still bleeding (the spotting was pink earlier but now it’s gotten to a brighter red color) I have tender pelvis but no pain. Has anyone gone through something similar? Being sent home with no explanation and still bleeding to me is wild.
