98th percentile baby!

So I’m 34 weeks and baby has been measuring large (only his tummy) since 2 growth scans ago which is bringing him to the 98th percentile and currently guessed at 5.6lbs!
My first baby was born at 7.11lbs so they have said he is big for my gestation in comparison

I am in so much pain and have been in preterm labour since 29 weeks so the contractions have been awful but never any progression! And his movements have slowed right down despite positive CTG and scans showing he is okay

Has anyone had this with baby? Gestational test was negative and I have a blood sugar test on Saturday

I have a midwife appointment and I’m wondering about requesting induction at 37 weeks ( I had my last at 38 weeks and almost ended up in a C section as my pelvis was to narrow and be kept getting stuck) so I’m getting very anxious about trying to deliver an even bigger baby!!

Thankyou in advance

I’m not in a similar position re big baby but I am re delivery and checks. I was told our baby was 97th centile about 15 weeks ago, that she would be 11lb.
I then attend my growth scan and was told she actually was concerningly small, in the 8th centile and needed extra checks and monitoring.

Since then we have constantly had scans, CTG’s, dopler and consultations about delivery.

Originally the consultant wanted her out at 37 but the guidelines were checked and she then said it would likely be 38 as if she is over 8 she can’t come out then.

I’m opting for elective C due to my own health issues but also as I don’t want my child to go through much more, we have had a really hard pregnancy.

5.5 isn’t big, do they think it’s just belly? Our girl is long legged and femur is growing but not head and belly…. So similar to yours but different areas. X

Well ive had same and i have other medical issues plus im 41 and there still refusing to induce me despite my last being induced at 37 weeks. Im high risk consultant led. It might just be my hospital but it has annoyed me as im in so much pain as my hip has now given out under the weight. Im eating fresh pineapple daily, and drinking raspberry leaf to get things going naturally. Dates are also supposed to help but they made me wanna throw up.

C Section Saturday

I am having my second c section on Saturday, I am so nervous I keep hearing having a scheduled c section is so much calmer but I am so nervous, and nervous about how I am going to manage a newborn and a toddler that is so attached to me

Another one?

It happened.

After my c-section I laid in that hospital and I said NEVER AGAIN. I’m never going through the experience of birth (c-section or vaginal) EVER AGAIN.

I told my husband “sorry babe, after this I am one and done. I can’t do this type of trauma and pain ever again”.

My boy is 3 months old now, I looked at his adorable little face… and said

“Shit I want another”.

Hope all the June mamas are hangin in!
