Fundal Height Measurement

I had my 28 week appointment on Friday I will be 29 weeks exactly tomorrow and my little lad's measurements were big he was measuring at 33cm I have a growth scan booked for the 17th but obviously I'm Impatient and I googled (ik worst thing to do) I know I don't have gestational diabetes as my test was normal so I'm confused as to what the reason is for him to be so big if it is accurate

I'm also "leaking" liquid (I put quotes over as I'm not sure if it is or not) idk if it's just normal discharge but I really don't want anything to be wrong, I also don't want to waste anyones time if it is just nothing and have been having a couple of Braxton hicks contractions which are rather sore when they do come but they are only once or twice and then they go away

I’ve just measured ABOVE the 99th percentile at 28 weeks. My baby is measuring on the 32wk and is currently 3lb 11oz. Hahahaha

Also, have you gone to triage over your leaking?

Go get checked. Braxton hicks shouldn’t be painful. Uncomfortable yes but not painful especially if you’re leaking x

Kids in delivery room?

Im due in October, my 9 year old wants to be in the delivery room. I think it would be so special and of course I'd love her there. Im just curious on how to navigate, how to prep her, or if its even a good idea at all. My daughter's daddy passed in 2021, and the father of this baby unfortunately will not be making it to the birth, so it'll be my mom and best friend. And we shall see about my girl. Any advice, tips or words of encouragement are greatly appreciated 🤍

Early labour pressure ??

Has any one else experienced really bad pressure/ hemorroids, I’m 37 weeks today and had such loose bowel movements but today it’s got 10x worse I was screaming with pain. I had to run to the bathroom and it felt like the babies head was ready to come out with the pressure I was having (literally felt like ring of fire) how do I know if it’s just hemorroids or early labour pressure as I’ve been told by my midwife his head is engaged 😩😩 sooo painful.

Early labour signs

I’m 38+2 and have been experiencing some cramping and quite intense contractions. The first time it happened was at 37+5, and I honestly thought I was going into labour, so I called triage. I was advised to take some paracetamol and monitor how things went on.
It happened again recently, but this time I didn’t call. The cramps and contractions were really intense and lasted for about two hours.

Just wondering if anyone else has/had experienced anything similar?

Brown Spotting

I just found out I was 4weeks pregnant a week ago but I have been having brown discharge/spotting ever since , it’s mostly when I go to wipe when am peeing in the toilet. I called the EPU and they told me to monitor and give them a call in the event there is any changes. Anyone else who has experienced this ? It’s my first pregnancy?
