I’m being emergency induced at 39+4 weeks pregnant for the size of my babies head 🤣
So his head is on the larger side, has been for weeks. I’ve been told if he stays inside cooking, it could get even bigger. His head isn’t and probably won’t engage to start natural labour because it’s so big 🤣 I just feel like…that’s an absolute hilarious thing to tell him when he’s older hahaha and I feel very immature about it. He’s completely healthy otherwise.
Anyway, they did say it could end in a c-section because it might get stuck or completely tear me to shreds, which I’m more scared of a c-section which is why I’ve opted for the induction, has this ever happened to anyone else? My first was easy, I had no issues whatsoever. This one seems a lot scarier 🥲 not to mention my family aren’t supporting me as much as they were before they knew I was being induced, my SIL is due via c-section on 1st September, and they’ve all been saying how my son will be born on the same day as him or after, but now that he’s coming this week…they have been distant and their energy has switched up massively. No excitement, no joy, like nothing they would usually be saying/doing. Almost like I’ve just told them the weather and they’ve nodded along and said oh….
Growth scans - anyone else had a similar situation?
I had a growth scan at 33 weeks because baby had flat lined and basically not grown. At the scan we were told baby was a perfectly average size and nothing to worry about. At 37 weeks I was measuring 35.5 which they said was okay. 2 weeks later (Today) I was measuring 34. So she’s gone down on the graph and it looks quite concerning, considering I’m now 39 weeks. She hasn’t moved position since last time, so it’s not like it could be based on how she’s laying. I wouldn’t normally be too worried because her size was completely fine last time. But for the past week or so I’ve noticed her movements haven’t been as often. I’ve been too scared to go to triage, I had a really bad experience at 18 weeks, the midwife made me cry and made me feel like an idiot. Now I’m kicking myself, wishing I did just go just incase, because If her growth has actually stopped and it could have been caught sooner, it would be my fault. Has anyone else measured small this late on? Due next week. I hate the wait🥲waiting to get the call to book the scan in
