My baby boy is due December 22 but I just got confirmation that he is measuring 3 weeks ahead šµ He's 98th percentile as of my 32 week appointment, and he was 97th percentile at my 20 week anatomy scan. No gestational diabetes or health conditions, he's just a big boy I guess. Wild stuff!

Was that ahead before, now itās just about a week and a half, but they finally officially changed my due date to 11/26 because at the scan today (35w1d) sheās 6lb 3oz. They said she technically could still come early December but sheād be well over 8lb by then and theyād be shocked if I even make it to Thanksgiving lol

At my 32 wks appointment, baby boy was measuring 2 weeks ahead and in the 87th percentile. We're doing another anatomy scan at 36 weeks to determine if we need to consider C-section to avoid shoulder dystocia

I am due December 20th. Had a growth scan today, they said 27th percentile. But Iām petite, only 5ā-0ā tall. Supposedly it fluctuates! Hopefully you are feeling well!

Iām due December 22nd aswell :))) Iām not sure what percentile baby boy is how did you find out?

Interesting! I didnāt know about this!
Very early (7dpo evening I believe)⦠do you see anything?

First time mum here and I just want to know, how many days on average do you stay in the hospital for after birth? For both vaginal and c-section

I meet another single mum on mat leave and we kept in contact, kids going to the same nursery etc.
It was her little ones 3rd birth day so
I wished him happy birthday on whatās app. I only knew as she put it as a status.
She then messaged back with all the parties heās havingā¦. So I clarified if my little one wasnāt invited (I kinda donāt know why she was telling me as I didnāt ask).
She said no he wasnāt. I said no worries.
I told her I was hurt as I thought we were closer and that our kids did play together etcā¦. And she didnāt acknowledge my hurt feels but was just more practical saying she just wanted a smaller party.
Things havenāt been the same since and I donāt bother to message her etc but to be honest I was finding her behaviour a little odd anyway.
Itās now my sonās birthday, would it be ok if I invite her son or are they not close so I donāt bother?
Iām getting nowhere with nursery and his close friend has recently left for another nursery so Iām a bit lost.

My daughter was born 3 weeks earlier than her due date due to a low lying placenta, sheās not quite sitting up on her own just yet, do you think we need to wait before weaning her? Sheās got good head control but just canāt sit unaided just yet.

Are you all doing a urine sample at every appointment? I had my 25 week appt today and I wasnāt asked for one despite mentioning having issues with an achey bladder and trouble emptying it at times. I havenāt done one since my first appt at 9 weeks!
In my first pregnancy (same midwife team, same place etc) I did it religious EVERY time I saw anyone, even when I went in to triage for reduced movements for example. Just feels a bit weird especially as they put on my notes that it has been done.

Does it make anyone else paranoid when your baby doesnāt move? Like I get it, Iāve heard so many people, my mom included always say āmy baby was fine while I was working but as soon as I got home theyād start kicking like crazyā and I always laughed, but now Iām like- how did that not make your anxiety spike every time? Maybe itās just because this is my first baby, but those kicks are like a security blanket to me especially since Iām at 19 weeks, it tells me heās ok. When I donāt feel those kicks for 8 hours because Iām working I have to talk myself down from worrying.
