Big baby
I’ve just had a growth scan at 36+3 and baby is currently weighing 8lbs 1oz.
I have a consultation appointment tomorrow to discuss further. My first was born at 39+3 and weighed 8lbs 3oz (I was induced) so I’m quite shocked at nearly 3 and a half weeks to go he’s so big. Did anyone else have something similar to this and how did it work out?

What were the measurements? My first was predicted to be over 10lbs but she was 8lb 3 and a week late. She was very tall though. Her femur was 90th and her head and abdomen were measuring as big but werent massive. Ive got the same this time so hoping again for a long slim one.
Lucky you, I just had my growth scan at 36+5 and told he's 10lb7!!! 😯
Because I've read the big baby study and I'm not so worried - https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/med/research/ctu/trials/bigbaby/
Hopefully that puts your mind at rest. X

VBAC after 2 c sections
Hi everyone. My daughter is 13 months old and I have her via c section last August due to failure to progress. Everything else was fine apart from that. My son is 10 and I had a c section with him too. I want to start trying for another baby next year and would really love to hear if anyone had any positive stories about a vbac after 2 c sections x

No scan date yet?
I’m 11+5 and I self refered at 6 weeks. My midwife appointment went well at 9 weeks but I still haven’t heard anything from the hospital 😬 should I get in touch with them? It’s a hospital I’ve not been to before so I don’t know how last minute they can be but it’s making me super anxious that I haven’t heard yet 🫣

Bleeding
I am 11+4 and woke up this morning with quite a bit of pink watery bleeding. I would not call this spotting as had quite a bit. Have some very mild cramping with it.
Currently sitting in the maternity hospital waiting to be seen and need some support
