Not long to go

[Emilylouise-]

So I have been for another growth scan today baby has gained weight but has dropped slightly before the 10th centile on chart

I have to go back next week for Doppler

As he's coming up small

They told me his weight will be around 5lb4 if born now

He's a very active boy and gives me some very hard kicks and punches

His head is seriously low In my pelvis as she couldn't get a proper measurement

I remember them doing this in my last pregnancy getting me all worried when my boy was born he was 7lb14oz and the estimated his weight at 5lb

Anyone else had this?

Yes I did. I can’t remember what they estimated my LG to be but she was 6.8lb born at 38 weeks by elective c section as she was also breach. I think it’s very hard to get an accurate measurement. I’ve also known people to have them miss judge babies who were bigger than expected

It's just frustrating they want me to

Go

Into hospital every week I live 9 miles away from the hospital rural location my o.h works long hours and have 4 other children I have to rely on my mother getting me there as I just cannot physically drive myself in anymore(too big to get behind the wheel comfortably) iv told them I'd be worried if he wasn't as active but he's remained the same with moving since 25 weeks

Iv been getting a lot of pains since yesterday there not consistent tmi bowel movements loose feel nauseous and lower back aches but I'm hoping this is the start of things x

I understand your frustration. I was in at least once a week too. But didn't have your access issues. She’s my first, hospital is 10 mins from home and I drive. But yes not fun sitting in a hospital. They had to keep monitoring her though, I’m just pleased that she was ok in the end

I'm now in what feels

Like early labour you'd think I'd know from having 4 previous babies it's started with me rushing to the toilet to empty my bowels baby must have moved his head from the deflexed position to the flexed position hurt like heck then 5 minutes after again then just as I got off had to sit back down that's when the pains started well I say pains they are more very uncomfortable I'm now walking round my house as when I try to

Sit or lay down they become more intense in between baby is having a good jig about nothing's regular at moment they come and go x
