Baby tummy measuring 44 weeks but I’m only 36 weeks… seems so off that can’t be correct surely?

I had similar with her belly measuring weeks and weeks ahead. My son was the same. I asked the lady who done the ultrasound and she said the measurements on there are outdated and they only use them to find the centile and go by that, so as long as the centile is staying around the same it’s all fine x

I’d honestly say don’t take every measurement as gospel. I have gestational diabetes, and at 30 weeks I was told my baby was measuring big, estimated at 3.8lb and around the 58th centile, so I was being told to expect a big baby. Then at my 36-week growth scan, I was told she’d only gained about a pound in 4 weeks and had dropped all the way down to the 10th centile. The consultant was adamant that their sonographers were exceptionally good and that the drop was too drastic to be a measurement mistake, so they were concerned that there could be an issue with my placenta and that it might be failing.
I was then told there wasn’t really anything they could do other than bring me back for another scan at 36 weeks, so as you can imagine, those two weeks were incredibly stressful and I was so anxious and worried about her. I went for the scan last week and was then told she was absolutely perfect, no issues whatsoever, and weighed 6lb bang on at 36 weeks! 🤣
Posting as incognito because I feel ashamed of how I’m feeling. I’m 34+1, I realise I have a while to go but just in floods of tears almost every day because I feel so sore and heavy and like I can’t do anything. I feel like my legs and hips are going to pop out their sockets when I walk and like I’ve been weight training every single day. I don’t know what to do anymore I’ve just sat and cried all evening because I don’t want to do it any longer. Is there anything to help with pain and discomfort or is there any medical reason I’m like this. I was having bad period type cramps all day yesterday but haven’t had anything today other than feeling I can’t even stand up without feeling like my whole body hurts. Is there anything doctors/ consultants/ midwives can do.

I'd like to hear from people that have done this and how support was from the hospital. I imagine it would vary by hospital though
Unfortunately, we do not have childcare for that period, so hubby has to stay with toddler.
Surgery also in the afternoon

I’m 37+1 today with my third and my second I went into spontaneous labour at 36+6 so I really thought she’d be here by now 😩 Anyways over the last week I’ve been dry heaving, actually been sick once, I’ve had diarrhoea and loose stools, such a weak bladder, severe insomnia and crazy pressure down below. Every time she moves I can literally feel the pain of her head going in my vagina 🤣 Is is coming or am I just kidding myself 🤦🏻♀️

So my due date was 28th September but it turns out my body had other ideas 🙈 on Thursday at 35 weeks 3 days my waters broke spontaneously 🙈 currently in hospital being monitored for the last couple of days but no sign of labour as of yet 🤞🏼 so it looks like I’ll be going home and will be closely monitored and the plan is to induce me at 37 weeks due to high risk factors of infection… please wish us some luck 🥰🤞🏼 we are very nervous!
