February 2021 Mummies :) 2nd Trimester

[jorgi]

My son was 7lbs born at 36+6...he was on 60th centile and apparently this baby is a very average size. But I only time will tell! X

Oh he was quite early wasn’t he! In your experience do you think big bump does mean big baby?

No, not necessarily. I've had a lady with a really average size bump whose baby was 10lb 13oz and another who was massive and her baby was below 8lbs. A lot of it is to do with muscle tone, amount of fluids etc. I had one lady who I was tempted to refer for a growth scan because she always looked so small and her baby was 8lb11!! Midwives at the hospital couldn't believe it, they also predicted around 7lbs so...... there is no 100% telling! Even the scans are wrong half the time x

Zara that's not good - rest up and take care. Keep any temps down with paracetamol and I hope you're feeling better really soon x

I'm feeling much better today back to myself near enough and to be honest the advice hadnt been to well I spoke to midwifery team they said there not been much research so just keep an eye on movement and that they have moms with covid and baby has been fine. My 9 month old is fine and had no symptoms she had a little cough but shes all fine and well now. Thank you xxx

Hey everyone!
Sounds scary having covid whilst pregnant but my friend also has it who’s due the day after me and she has been told they want to do more regular growth scans on the baby but up to now she just feels achy and cold symptoms so fingers crossed it doesn’t get worse than that.
I cannot believe in less than two weeks we’ll be in the third trimester! Crazy!!!
The first trimester went sooooooo slow! I have my next scan on 23rd December to see if my placenta has moved - praying it has so I can have natural birth but can’t do anything about it so trying not to worry xxxxxxx
