I barely eat due to hyperemersis and my baby is an absolute chunk, please don’t blame yourself, some babies are just small, talk to the consultant if you’re worried but don’t blame yourself or your diet, babies should be roughly 4.2lbs at 33 weeks anyway so being over 4lbs is good going! xx

Thanks she just keeps panicking me talking about movements and things and I've never had blood flow checked every week she said I'd have to go every week for that then scan every 2 to check placenta working right

Try not to worry too much about the growth line, my baby was up and down every few weeks (had to have a scan every 1/ 2 weeks because of it) he was born 8lbs and was perfectly healthy... x

Thankyou that's reassuring I was ok till I told my husband I probably shouldn't have told him cause he gets upset more easily than me with these sorts of things .its just the way consultant kept talking about movement I'm already a panicker when it comes to movement
