Anyone else measuring ahead?

My baby boy is due December 22 but I just got confirmation that he is measuring 3 weeks ahead 😵 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 it’s just about a week and a half, but they finally officially changed my due date to 11/26 because at the scan today (35w1d) she’s 6lb 3oz. They said she technically could still come early December but she’d be well over 8lb by then and they’d 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 I’m petite, only 5’-0ā€ tall. Supposedly it fluctuates! Hopefully you are feeling well!

Son not invited to party

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 what’s app. I only knew as she put it as a status.

She then messaged back with all the parties he’s having…. So I clarified if my little one wasn’t invited (I kinda don’t know why she was telling me as I didn’t ask).

She said no he wasn’t. I said no worries.
I told her I was hurt as I thought we were closer and that our kids did play together etc…. And she didn’t acknowledge my hurt feels but was just more practical saying she just wanted a smaller party.

Things haven’t been the same since and I don’t bother to message her etc but to be honest I was finding her behaviour a little odd anyway.

It’s now my son’s birthday, would it be ok if I invite her son or are they not close so I don’t bother?

I’m getting nowhere with nursery and his close friend has recently left for another nursery so I’m a bit lost.

Weaning

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

Urine samples at midwife appts

Are you all doing a urine sample at every appointment? I had my 25 week appt today and I wasn’t asked for one despite mentioning having issues with an achey bladder and trouble emptying it at times. I haven’t 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 bother anyone else that your baby doesn’t kick when you’re moving around a lot?

Does it make anyone else paranoid when your baby doesn’t move? Like I get it, I’ve heard so many people, my mom included always say ā€œmy baby was fine while I was working but as soon as I got home they’d start kicking like crazyā€ and I always laughed, but now I’m like- how did that not make your anxiety spike every time? Maybe it’s just because this is my first baby, but those kicks are like a security blanket to me especially since I’m at 19 weeks, it tells me he’s ok. When I don’t feel those kicks for 8 hours because I’m working I have to talk myself down from worrying.
