Potentially coming early?

33 weeks, due October 12th but they are saying my stomach and her head/body are measuring October 4th, weighing 4lbs 10 ozs. Are these things usually accurate? Shes also my third so wonder if that will factor in coming early or not.

I’m pregnant with my second, due October 10th but last scan they said he’s measuring more like he’d be due September 26th! They aren’t officially moving my date though because there’s isn’t enough to say for sure it’s accurate. Did they say if they’d consider moving yours? I’m planning as though it’s the earlier date to be safe, especially since my daughter was early. I feel like I’m seeing a lot of people with this same kind of thing happening…

My toddler measured 2 weeks ahead throughout my entire pregnancy and they never moved up my due date. She ended up being early by two days but only because I was induced because she was expected to be a big baby (she wasn't 🫠)

Maybe it’s just a big baby ? I’ve never experienced this but I’m wondering if that’s what happens with moms who have 10lb babies

My first due date was Oct 16 th then the 3rd (this one is more accurate because they measured him all the other ones they based it on my period which wasn’t accurate in their system )but went today and now they saying the 9th he’s also 4lb 10oz and this is my second pregnancy so I don’t know what to believe 😭

They told me my first baby would come possibly 4 weeks early and be 10lbs … she came 1 week early and was 6lbs 😅

Idk if I believe what they say but I’d also be prepared just in case :)

12 week scan

What are your gender predictions. Obviously I know it’s too early to be certain but just curious of what you all think

GLP-1

Post partum 10 months and began Tirzepatide for weight loss… I was today years old finding out injecting in the site of lower stomach can affect how medicine absorbs in your body due to C section scar tissue. Anyone else hear this? Any mamas currently taking GLP-1?

Birth options for baby number 2

I had a baby in January last year, and had an elective cesarean (as he was measuring big and they didnt want me to go too far past my due date, and I decline induction as my body wasnt showing any signs of being ready for labour). My experience was very calm and my recovery was very good so it was really positive.

Fast forward to now, and Im pregnant with my second, due in November, when my eldest will be 22 months. My midwife is starting to talk to me about birth preferences. She said I can have either a cesarean again or vaginal delivery. There are currently no other factors at play to mean medically Id be better off with one or the other, so assuming everything continues to progress as it has so far, its up to me.

What was everyone's experience second time round? Im so torn on what to go for. Having another elective is appealing having a little one at home as it means I can have some control over the date a childcare.. but then Im also worried about having another cesarean and not being able to do as much with my eldest in the earlier days whilst Im recovering, and I'm conscious of trying to make the transition for him welcoming his new sister as smooth as I can.

Im very lucky to have a very supportive and handson husband who will be having 5-6 weeks off work, and plenty of family near by to help where needed.

What would you choose and why?

Period pains

Is anyone else experiencing period pains? I’m 35 weeks + 4 days I’m due the 25th of September, since around 1pm this afternoon I’ve been having period pains that are coming and going. This is my second baby and I didn’t experience this feeling and she was overdue. Should I be worried? I have had a busy day of cleaning and staying active
