33 week scan

Need advice and reassurance, at my 33 week scan baby was weighing at 4lbs 11 I’m a bit worried I hope that’s a good weight my daughter was just below average when she was born and I’ve had a really bad experience with her with people constantly saying “aww she’s so small “ she’s so tiny” etc etc and cause of that I’ve been really stressed out with baby’s weight during this pregnancy

Any advice on how I can get baby’s weigh up ? Perhaps eat certain foods?

My little one weighed 5lbs at 34 and she is on the 49th centile which is bang on average so I think your baby is weighing fine x

Mine is 5lb 9 at 35 weeks so sounds just fine 😊

Sounds like an ok weight to me some people have smaller or larger babies that’s ok

Hmm what are other baby’s measurements? Just remember that those can be off by 5-10% depending on baby’s position, different machine, different sonographer. My baby weighted 4lbs 11 at 34 week scan but he’s quite long and has average head measurement, just his belly is on a smaller side.
I don’t think there’s any miracle foods unfortunately that can get the babies up to speed, all I will say is keep eating nutritious foods and balanced meals!

I wouldn't worry! My 32 week scan had baby at bang on 4lb. Got my 36 week growth scan tomorrow so will see how they're growing then.

My little girl was born at 36+2 weeks weighing 4lb11 so she was a dot.

Surely all that matters is they are healthy and growing and thriving once here 💞

Anyone else wake up feeling like they’ve been hit by a bus???

Every morning I’m so sore! My stomach feels crazy heavy, my arms and neck hurt, don’t even get me started on the back pain. I cannot do this for another 3 weeks 🥴😴🥱

Boy or girl? 🩷🩵

I've just had my 12 scan and I'm curious as to what people think the little one might be ☺️

I know you can look into the nub theory, so I'm curious if some of you can tell 🤨🤭

This is the clearest photo they could get due to previous C-section scar and baby just not playing ball today 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

Heart Shaped Uterus

I am 5 weeks 5 days and had an early scan this morning due to cramping last week. Everything on my scan looks exactly how it should and the consultant was happy. However she did mention I have a heart shaped uterus and implantation occured on my right. I asked what did that mean and she explained uterus has a slight drip which makes it heart shaped. She said it's nothing to worry about. I stupidly googled after the scan and read there is an increased risk of miscarriage etc. Does anyone have a heart shaped uterus/have positive stories?

Symptoms Gone 😞

Hi Guys 7 weeks nearly now and the symptoms have all gone.

Ultrasound is next week, and I'm itching to test again, or get a private scan.

I was hoping for some positive stories of people in the same position? Or experiences?
