Its only a rough estinate and can be up to 10% or more out! With my first they told me he would be a big baby because I have a high bmi.... my baby was 8lb 7oz not the 12lb they estimated he would be. Babies do the most growing between 28 and 36weeks so has lots of time to grow just yet!
Hey this is a normal weight at 28w… i also had growth scan yesterday and baby is around 1kg (36% centile), if also follow flo app will tell you average weight at 28w. My sonograph lady said its completely average
I had this yesterday they advised me our baby is 2pound1 now I am panicking as to say have I done something wrong🥲 but we will get there chick our babies will be fine❤️
They scare poor mums by giving generic statistics of how big they should be . All mine were small babies . 1st born at 3 pounds at 29 weeks she now nearly 16 and thriving. My second was 40 weeks and 7 pound 4 he is 11 and a strong healthy boy . My third was born at 37 weeks weighing 6 pound 5 she's now 1 and again thriving. You may not have a big baby but they are for sure not going to be unhealthy and your absolutely doing nothing wrong xxxx

Struggling in third tri!!
Hey, just wanted to reach out for people who may be experiencing the same…
Little rant ahead 😅
I’ve just entered the third trimester and feel like everything has suddenly changed overnight. The back, neck and leg pains are killing me, really minimal and interrupted sleep waking up with headaches. I feel quite useless.
I’ve been off work for the past 2 days as it’s physical and on my feet all day and I’m genuinely worried I won’t be able to get back there. I was planning to start mat leave around 35/36 weeks but now I’m not so sure if I am not able to work through the pain. I can do daily things round the house but come to cooking (standing for about an hour) my back is really painful, which is why I feel concerned to return to work.
I know every pregnancy is different and I definitely don’t have it the worse but sometimes I just feel I’m overreacting and just need to get on with things!!
Sending love to you all ❤️❤️❤️

Anyone else a bit nervous about when it’s time to make that call to their partner when they go into labour?
With my first I was inducted due to reduced movement so my partner was aware when it was all happening so he was there from the beginning but this time I’m planning a home birth so am nervous about where my partner might be, what if I can’t get hold of him… my mind if all over the place 😅 what if it happens when I’m doing the nursery run and I’m 20 mins away from home, what if my partner is on a site visits for work an hour away!! I feel silly but I can’t help it!
