Big baby

[nat206ttc3]

I’m being monitored and scanned twice a week at the hospital due to reduced movements.

Today at Scan they said my baby already weighs 5lbs 8oz...I’m only 33 weeks. MW measured me and I’m measuring 37 weeks.

They don’t seem to concerned. Anyone else been in the same situation? X

I'm 37 weeks, I had a growth scan on Wednesday (36+3) and baby was on 94th percentile and estimated to weigh 7lbs 12oz. My daughter was born at 40+2 weighing 7lbs 8oz! My bump measures spot on for my weeks though.

My midwife is concerned about her size, she booked me in for the glucose test the next day to rule out gestational diabetes, it came back clear. She's also put in an urgent referral with a consulant and I should see someone this week.

Hi Nat!
My previous LO was only 6.1 (which everyone assured me was fine back then) and because of this have had to have growth scans.
My last growth scan was yesterday, and the baby had dropped from the 90th to the 50th, sonow I have to be monitored and scanned twice a week too, to check blood flow from the cord and water around baby.
I’m 34+3 today and approx weight is 5.1.

Sounds like we are in similar positions but for opposite reasons!

I’m super nervous now that I am doing something wrong!

Hope your ok Luvvy xx

They kept telling me my baby was big. Was having scans same as you for reduced movement. They scared the shit outta me was so worried about pushing baby out.
At 37 weeks had a scan and had extra fluid, I had GD :/ have you had a test for GD, if you have ask for another.
I gave birth at 38 weeks. They was going to induce me because of all the reduced movement... if you keep going in with reduced movement and they thunk bsbg will be large they may want to induce you at 38 weeks.

Are 36 week my baby was estimated 8lbs11 ... gave birth at 38 weeks to a 8lbs 7oz baby. They can be off.

Thanks for your replies.

I’m actually exhausted and so sore. I’m hoping they give me a section around 38 weeks. I’m due to have a planned one at 39 weeks. I feel if they were to bring her at 38 weeks she would be ok.

I’m so breathless. Pulse was a bit high at hospital yesterday (101) but they didn’t seem too concerned. X
