wee baby club

[Ginnymarie]

Hello

in contrast to the biff baby club maybe we should have a wee baby club
for all those stressing about having too small babies, too small bumps

(being told we are neat all the time, are you sure you are eating enough...?)

For the worry of growth scans, I have had three now and for the feeling of guilt that you have if you eat rubbish and not healthy food....

also for the worry that your placenta stops working and you may have to be induced...I know being induced is not that bad a thing tho.

all these things make having a wee baby a bit scary but I have realised that after the growth scans some people are just meant to have smallish babies especially if they are not big themselves, everything they do with the graphs is just based on averages. Every woman is different so I a try not to worry and hope this reassures other ladies who will scream at the next person who says

ooooh you are neat, how can you be 37 weeks, you don't even look pregnant, ooooh you are small....grrrrrrrrrrrr....!

Can I please join this club. I keep getting told he is only going to be a little one. Had loads of scans, fundal height is always a few weeks behind and if one more person says to me ''Oh what a tiny/neat bump i'll deck them

Oooh me too please! I've only had my fundal height done once at 34 weeks and I was measuring 32. I reckon I have quite a big bump for my size (it certainly feels it) but my dad saw me for the first time in ages last week and all he kept saying was "your not as big as I thought you would be". My son was 6lb 7oz at 2 weeks overdue and I've been told to expect the same weight this time which is fine by me. Some of us are just meant to have ickle babies.

Is there a boringly average sized baby club I can join? Mines estimated to be 7 and half pounds at full term.

James was only 5lb 15oz and I was measuring a week or 2 behind with him, so I could have joined the wee baby club with that pregnancy
