Growth scan
Had a midwife appointment on Thursday when I was 28+5 weeks and bump was measuring at 32cm so they want me to have a growth scan. Terrified baby girl is going to be really big and I’ll have to have a c-section which is my worst fear! Has anyone else had this recently or had a growth scan? 😬

i had the same but at 27w6d, my bump measured 32cm and i had a growth scan same day and she’s weighing 3lb1oz on the 88th centile currently, been booked in for a glucose test tomorrow as they also found extra fluid x
I think the bump measurements can be unreliable sometimes. My last baby was measuring around 70th percentile the whole way through but when he was born he was 2nd. Scans are a bit more accurate I think
These bump measurements to me are completely ridiculous. I was measured by one midwife 29.5, then the NEXT week by a different midwife at 27. Growth scan showed the baby was perfect. The sonographer said that tape measurements are 14% accurate! If you look on Reddit you will see there’s SO much inaccuracy with measurements especially when considering how the baby moves. So I honestly wouldn’t worry at all.
I have to have growth scan every two weeks now as baby was looking small at my 20 week scan, they’ve not said anything about my bump but I went to my last scan and baby was looking a better size and was catching up, it’s not 100% accurate anyway

Pregnant again…
I just found out I’m pregnant again 5 months postpartum. I had a c-section and my doctor is saying that it’s still healing. Carrying the pregnant might be dangerous. Has anyone else gotten pregnant shortly after giving birth + how did you process it? I’m feeling overwhelmed.
