Baby weights

How are people finding out babies estimated weight? Are you having extra scans? Ive not been told an estimated weight for mine.
I found it on my 2nds when i went for a growth scan but noone told me her weight or anything its only when i sat and read the print out after lol.
I know where my baby measures on the centiles but not an estimated weight. Am i missing something?
Im 38 weeks sunday

My first had growth scans said she would over 9lbs and "rip me open" were the words from the consultant. I said ill take my chances thanks

She was 7lbs 7oz and i had a graze no tearing, all natural spontaenous birth

No growth scans with 2nd and no tears or graze

3rd ive had an extra scan for placenta position which i also had in my 1st thats all, ive tracked high all pregnancy but not had a growth scan as midwife just hasnt felt it appropriate and im happy with that too lol x

You can work out a very rough estimate from your growth chart, but scans are more accurate but also are never 100% x

Advice needed please

Has anyone got any suggestions as to how to get my waters to break? My plug has gone and I feel like I could burst any moment but it’s not happening. I’ve had 3 occasions now where I’ve laboured for several hours with little to no progress and I’m fed up of it now (40 weeks now)

Sleep anxiety

Anybody else pregnant and just so sleep deprived you feel like you're going insane?

I've got majorly bad sleep anxiety as it is and im getting about 3/4 hours every night. im exhausted! I work full time and have a nearly 6 year old as well. I'm bursting out into tears a lot, cant think rationally, forgetting everything, snapping at everyone, my energy levels are shocking can hardly help with the housework and cooking so naturally, we're all eating shit and the house is disgusting. My partner helps best he can but he works full time also and its a physical job 🤷‍♀️

What can I do to help my sleep? I've got a pregnancy pillow which doesn't seem to help and the weather probably isn't helping either. Desperate at this point 😅

Help! Second pregnancy and I have this awful awful prickling feeling in my crotch from my pubic hair rubbing against everything or idk from what.

Does anyone else experience this it’s constant and I feel like I’m going to go crazy. No creams or baths help my dr even prescribed a strong cream but it doesn’t help either. Even sugaring doesn’t help only for a little until the hair starts to grow back. What do I do? I’m going crazy from this I can’t even sleep.

Baby dropping at 29+3

Hi this is probs nothing but I’m 29+4 today and I just keep getting a weird feeling my baby is coming soon , I’m a FTM so I’m not sure if my body is trying to tell me something or if I’m just over thinking it but today I was sitting on my sofa and I like I really need to pee again (not unusual I know) then I go pee and I got like this strange kind of relief feeling and when I stood up I felt my baby very very low like almost by my pelvic bone and now it feels and looks low - as in you know when you suck in your tummy I can do that now and I’m flat and I just have this like hard lump at the bottom of my belly - I’m not small by any means but i tried to do this before to see my baby’s size once and I literally couldn’t suck in anything it was so hard - I’m typing this at almost 4am so apologies if it’s making no sense but I don’t know what to think, I’ve been losing my mucus plug for around 2 weeks now and I know it’s regenerating but just wondering if anyone has experienced similar? Google telling me I could be close to giving birth or not at all so who knows
