Growth Scan Measuring Larger at 34 Weeks!😫

hey my babes, i’m shook honestly🤣.. so i’m 34weeks and 4 days and i had a growth scan yesterday. I was told he’s 7lb already.. and that i have a lot of fluid surrounding me. i was told i had GD then i don’t, then i had to do then i done the finger pricking for 2 weeks passed that. now after the scan there saying i do.. but my partner was 10lb when he was born so i generally think it’s genetics on his side😭.. they are talking about inducing me which i DONT want to do and also a C section in which they get paid to do. I just want everything to be as natural as possible. Anyone else having/had a similar experience? x

My baby was born at 11lb at 40+4. Big babies run in my family, no GD. Also had poly (too much fluid). 33+5 he was 6lb 11.

Look at the big baby trial

I was induced by pessary at 39 weeks exactly for GD/large baby and she was born 9lb5oz and a water birth, it was lovely and we were home the same day. I was also induced with my son the same way for a different reason and again had a water birth and was home the same day. Of course every experience is different but Inductions aren’t all bad, I do think there’s a lot of negativity around them.

At every scan I had baby boy was always measuring big. Like you I did 3 GD tests all came back fine. I also had extra fluid on one scan which resolved itself at the next scan.
I was induced at 37 weeks for another condition I developed in pregnancy rather than his weight. But when then induced me the suspected I had more waters again because of the amount that came out. I ended up having an emergency c-section but because of the increased fluid once baby was born they passed an NG tube down his nose to check there wasn’t any blockages and that this was the reason for the increased fluid but thankfully all was well.

Considering he was measuring a ā€œbig babyā€ he was born weighing 6lb 11oz xx

- Slight nausea for 2 weeks early first trimester but no actual vomiting
- Some headaches but not constant
- Cravings have been mostly savoury but some sweet
- No acne
- movement started about 16 weeks so quite early, very active baby just like their dad lol
- always hungry

Cailean for a Boy name

My son is 18 months old and we love his name, we are not Scottish but the meaning of his name is very special to me. We’re saying it in an English way so it’s ā€œKay-lanā€ but I’m having comments about how it’s girly.

I’m sad that he might run into bullying bc I didn’t think it would be girly.

Second c section tomorrow

I have an elective c section tomorro and I am absolutely terrified. I had a c section with my little boy but I was in labour so I never felt any pain, it wasn’t an emergency or anything it was planned but I just went into labour before I reached my elective c section day. Can anyone just offer reassurance? I’ve hardly slept and I think it’s because I’m worried about blood loss as my blood count has been fluctuating and so has my ferratin but apparently I didn’t meet criteria for an iron infusion.

Baby movements

When do you usually start feeling baby moving? I’m 12+5 so I know it’s not just yet but can’t wait to feel movement 🄹
