Big baby and too much fluid

Anyone else is this situation? I’m 34 weeks. Baby is measuring 5lb 9oz. Her tummy is on 96th centile. My consultants weren’t concerned and i have another scan in 4 weeks. I have a little too much fluid aswell. I’m really stressing about it!

I'm in a similar situation. So my last scan said it was a big baby, 75th percentile and excess amniotic fluid. Had a gestational diabetes test which came back normal. Had another scan today plotting above 97th percentile with large abdo, weighing 7lbs7 at nearly 36 weeks. Got another scan in 2 weeks time. If still large then going to discuss induction at 39 weeks.

It's positive if the consultants aren't concerned, have they discussed anything else with you? GD test etc?

Hospitals

I am currently pregnant and have not had any scans or tests done (5 months) my midwife has sent out a referral for Birmingham women’s but they haven’t gotten back. I had my first child at heartlands and did not have a good experience therefore I do not want to go back there. Can anyone recommend a good hospital but not too far from Birmingham city centre.

i’m curious how far along do i look?
i can’t help but search up videos of other women and their bumps in the same week i’m in and i keep feeling extremely different 🥲
some days i feel like i don’t look pregnant yet, some days i feel too big

Partner and baby moving

Just wondering if anyone else’s partner is like this.
Every time I say the baby is moving and want him to look or feel he’s so distant. He says he just doesn’t understand the fascination, as it’s not in him.

He’s been amazing in terms of how he sees his job as caring for me. Which he does, but he doesn’t seem as phased as I am about baby moving. 🤷🏼‍♀️
Am I reading into this too much? I’m almost 25 weeks.

20 week scan measuring smaller

Just had our 20 week scan and have been told the baby is measuring smaller than my dates have provided. All other anatomy is all good but just this one little thing has me panicking. Has anyone else had something similar?

Does anyone feel the same 😂

I'm currently 37 weeks pregnant, I should be happy and excited but all I want to do is sleep and be on my Own. I'm not in any discomfort I just want to be alone looool.

Please say this is normal as I feel slightly depressed 😂.
