Growth scan

Does anyone have any experience with baby dropping in expected birth weight? I’ve been for a growth scan today at 32 weeks to be told that baby has dropped from the 54th percentile for weight to the 29th percentile. Trying to not worry myself too much about it as my consultant said they are not worried but want to continue to monitor.
Has anyone else had something similar? Has baby caught up?

Everytime I go for a scan im given a different centile and rarely have I known babies to be born what theyre predicted to be tbf I think theres a lot of room for mistakes and if they dont see anything else thats wrong I wouldn't be too worried

We for growth scan today for my twins. One went from 50th ish to 16th and the other went from 50th ish to 65th percentile. They said they aren’t too worried yet as they are just growing differently..

Elective C-Section booking

Hello everyone!

My due date is 31st December…I’m definitely having a C-Section due to complications with my first labour.

Will my section be booked in exactly a week before (christmas eve), or will they avoid that date due to staff shortages over the holiday season?

Thankyou❤️❤️❤️

Reduced movemements based on baby's positioning?

Had a growth scan wednesday just gone and baby was fine, not very wriggly on the scan but ticked off as all good, but he'd moved and is now frank breech so bum down legs up near his ears. He'd been head down and transverse previously on scans and I could tell based on the constant movemement but now his movement since the scan and confirming this different position has reduced loads and I only really feel him move if I have a cold drink or some food and lay down.
I've been told he likely doesn't have much room to kick in this position and the movements I'm feeling are mostly him pushing my skin rather than kicks? Is this accurate does anyone know?
My toddler is poorly so can't go into triage to get checked without difficulty
