99th Centile Baby 🫣

Just had my 32 week scan to find out my baby is on the 99th Centile, with particularly high AC. He’s EWF is 5.2lb, I’m terrified about having to have a C section or the risk of shoulder dystopia, I’m only 5ft, and partner is 5’9 so no idea where this has all come from. Negative for GD, anyone on a similar trajectory?

I got a scan done on week 27 and baby girl is in the 97th percentile, I have another scan next week to see how big she has gotten in 4 weeks. Hopefully she isnt too big or I might reconsider the natural birth...

I’m on the above 99th percentile at 32 weeks. welcome to the club 😂

With my first I was told at my 32 week scan I had a huge baby who was on track to be at least 10 or 11 lbs. When he was born he was only 6lb 3oz, and I really wish I’d not let the scan stress me out!

I was 4lb 12oz at 32 weeks with this one. My first was estimated to be 8lbs at 36 weeks but when he was at 38 weeks he was only 7lbs 7oz.

They are estimated weight and can be wrong by 15 to 20%. He may be smaller than expected

Hey, my second child was born with shoulder dystocia and wasn’t THAT big. Now with this pregnancy (my third), baby is on est. 99th percentile too and shoulder dystocia is highly likely again, so having a scheduled c-section this time.
I feel more comfortable this time knowing a planned c section is there as my second child has lifelong complications owing to the shoulder dystocia.

November babies are going to walk out with a fresh set of teeth.

They told me my daughter was going to be 10lb but she was 7.13. The measurements are head, belly and legs so baby could just have a big belly, big head and long legs like mine 😂 theyre wildly inaccurate i wouldn't worry too much x

They can be wildly out. I was told large, and had constant growth scans.

She was 6lb...

1st Miscarriage 😭

Just found out my 11 week old baby stopped growing at 8 weeks 😭 and a heartbeat which can be detected at 6 weeks was absent. 💔

We have a beautiful healthy 20 month old baby girl whom we are beyond grateful for but we were sooo excited to finally continue to grow our family 😭

Anyone still working at 35 weeks?

I am currently at 35+5 weeks. I have this week and next week left to work but honestly don’t know if I can last ! Finding it so much harder this time having a small child to care for at home as well. We don’t really have anyone who can care for my son either as it used to be my mum but she now has a terminal diagnosis to deal with and understandably isn’t her usual self… Tbh I had stopped trying when found this out so was a bit of surprise and not ideal… hubby is currently working 6/7 nights to save as well so he just as exhausted as I am… but god I just want a full day in bed so bad! 😭😂…
Is anyone else struggling?

C section scar pain

I am 3.5 weeks post section and in the last few days have started having frequent stabbing pains on the right hand side of my scar. It happens when walking or twisting - basically most movements! There is no redness/swelling/sign of infection, and I had no issues until now. Has anyone else experienced this?

Having first doubts about unmedicated birth

I'm 38 weeks pregnant and woke up 2 days ago with bad muscular pain in my upper back. The past 2 nights have been agony, having terribly broken sleep, paracetamol barely touching the pain, and not being able to get comfortable at all.. I've booked a massage today, but it's made me think how am I going to be able to handle labour pain if I can't handle some muscle pain??
Please can people share some of their own experiences to support, or at least get me to think more realistically about pain relief if it's unlikely I'll be able to do it unmedicated..
