Baby’s head circumference is measuring on the 6th percentile
I have been having growth scans as I have low PAPP-A. At my 28week scan the baby was measuring on the 3rd percentile. By 32 weeks she had gone back up to the 30th and now at 36 weeks she is at the 17th. However, her head is measuring on the 6th percentile and only grown 3mm in 4 weeks and her femur is on the 98th percentile. If her femur was measuring a normal length then she would be below the 10th percentile over all and they would be more concerned. I don’t understand why they aren’t concerned about the very little growth in her head and why an additional scan hasn’t been arranged?
I have also been in 7 times with reduced movements (3 times in the last week) and there just seems to be no concern?! I am now 37 weeks.
Has anyone had any similar experiences?
Also her head was on the 37th percentile at the previous scan, so it has majorly dropped centiles.

They gave me so many different concerning percentiles. Honestly scans are often inaccurate unfortunately. They said my son was going to be huge and short, in fact he was very tall and thin. 🤷♀️ i had so many high risk ultrasounds and they worried the shit out of me and nothing ended up being wrong.

SVT during pregnancy
Hello!
Has anyone ever had an SVT during pregnancy? I have no underlying heart issues and no family history, however last week my heart raised to 151bpm and stayed like it for hours. Had to call an ambulance and be kept in A&E overnight - was given adenosine to bring it down but it was very scary. I’m 21 weeks. I’m going to have an echocardiogram to see if there’s anything underlying. Thankfully baby boy is fine! Just wondering if anyone has ever had this as it’s made me so worried?

People touching buggy
FTM and find that people keep touching my buggy like it’s public property every week.
They will move it out of the way, use it as a crutch, walk by and just grab it for to reason, try to squeeze past it or over when I make a hand gesture that I’m actively moving it out of their way. All while my baby is inside it and usually asleep.
It always happens so fast that I can’t even react. As an adult, I wouldn’t come and touch your vehicle...
Does this happen to anyone else?

Supported sitting
Anyone else practicing supported sitting with their 4 month olds? Mine rolls both ways and she holds her neck pretty strong. Would it be okay to try or is this too early?

Midwife visit after birth
My bedroom is a tip. The plan was to clear it out last week. But I've been having such bad paint with prodomal labour that I can barely do anything.
My thought process clean it once baby arrives.
Its nothing crazy just piles of clothes as I was sorting through which to keep, give to charity and chuck.
Now I would rather the ground swallow me whole than someone see my how a mess.
The question is when midwifes do the visit at your house the day after birth. Do they look in all your rooms???
Or can they just stay in the living. Say what they have to say and be on there way....

How long was your latent phase ?
41+1 today and been in the latent phase for the last 3 daysish, currently losing my mucus plug and contractions are so painful but irregular, sometimes 30 mins apart, the midwife yesterday said I should wait to see what happens naturally and she didn’t sweep me but I’m thinking I should just get the sweep tomorrow to move things along?
I’m so conflicted got my induction booked on Thursday which i absolutely don’t want 🥲
