Baby’s growth

Im worried about how baby is growing :(

I have had very small bump my whole pregnancy. I had an ultrasound at 34 weeks to check baby’s growth and it shows shes 9% percentile.

She was 21% percentile at my 20 week anatomy scan. Midwife says it’s okay but on the low side and that baby is just small. I will need an ultrasound every two weeks to monitor it until baby’s here.

Have any other mom’s babies been around 9%? Was the baby okay but small? And what happens if baby gets to 3% which is what my midwife’s and concerned about?

Advice on early induction

I had my growth scan today (35 weeks) and they are measuring on the 9th percentile. I have another scan in two weeks and they'd like to discuss inducing between 37-39 weeks if they've not grown enough. Any advice or similar experiences?

Second baby and my first was born 6th percentile at 40 weeks - small but perfectly healthy!

2nd section

Anybody else had 2 sections? I’m absolutely terrified to the point it’s keeping me awake at night thinking of all the risks and stuff

Please help calm me down…

(Third baby / two previous spontaneous labours).

I am spiralling.

37+5 and went in for reduced movements yesterday. Had a scan today and baby is transverse.

They want to do an ECV on Thursday at 38 weeks to get baby head down (obvs with risk), and then if successful they want to break my waters so she cannot move again (and will either go into labour or need induction). If unsuccessful, they want to schedule a section.

Please please please give me a positive story that doesn’t result in days long labour / c section 😭😭

I know ultimately the most important thing is getting baby out safely, however I am absolutely petrified of the thought of both induction/c section.

They have said if I don’t have the ECV the likelihood of her going down on her own now is low and may need emergency c section anyway 🥺

Bump change

Hey, I'm 32 weeks 2 days pregnant and my bump seems to look smaller/lower? And I have this gut feeling something isn't right 🤷🏼‍♀️ what do I do? I can still feel little man moving but it just feels like something is wrong. I'm booked for a C-section on the 21st September x
