Hello everyone, I went for a scan yesterday and she was measuring a couple of days behind the date I’ve been told in the past. They said it can happen and I don’t have to worry, but I am worrying . What if she’s not growing well anymore?☹️ did it happen to any of you? X

I was always told up to 2 weeks ahead or behind is fine because the due date is just a estimate.

Och yes, I had some measurements 6 days behind, at one point her head was 8 days ahead.. but also going by their measurements she was 90th centile.. but in reality she has followed 9th centile since birth although has dropped slightly recently. So honestly dont worry, they are not completely accurate, its more so they have a general estimate to go by each scan. 💜💜

Yes, a few days outside of growth trajectory based on due date is absolutely within the norm. Nothing to worry about at all if that’s the only thing noted.

I had a scan 13 days ago where I expected to be 5w6d but was measuring 6w3d. The sonogropher said that - because they're dealing with millimetres at this point - the weeks tend to be accurate but the days might be slightly out. I have a follow-up scan tomorrow and keep reminding myself that I might be measuring a few days behind 8w3d for that reason, as it's subjective.
Anyone have any idea what this could be please? I’m 20 weeks pregnant and after breakfast was really badly sick. I put this down to morning sickness as I’ve been sick on/off and felt sick from 4 weeks. Have come into work and I feel absolutely dreadful😫 I still feel sick, dizzy when I stand and walk, eyes feel really sore when I move them and I’m pretty sure I’ve got a temp as I feel cold and shivery but my body’s warm to touch. Trying my best to persevere through the day as I feel like I’ve had more time off than in for one reason or another or for childcare. All I want to do is go home and sleep😔

Hi! Yesterday we went for a private scan to find out the gender of the baby! I was convinced it was a boy. Turns out we are having a little girl! It felt so surreal to see baby again and know the gender. Heart rate was 157bpm. I genuinely can't wait to meet her 🩷🩷🩷🩷

Is anyone else sick of being the one getting up early and sorting everything out, I work full time I have a 19 month old and a 3 year old. 3 year old currently keeps coming into our bed which is exhausting. I’m getting up at 4:30-5 every morning to get things sorted for the day kids nursery bags washing etc. my partner works from home but he doesn’t get out of bed until 6:30 I’m just so so tired

So I know my baby’s movements pretty well. However every now and then she has a day or a couple hours where she moves like crazy and really hard. Does anybody else’s baby do this?
