Baby weight- freaking out!

baby has been measuring on the small side since the start, so I’ve had really regular growth scans. Baby has usually been somewhere between 2-10th percentile at each scan. The last scan was five weeks ago due to bank hols, my holiday and then the foetal consultant availability. We had one today (32 weeks almost 33...

Measuring small

29 weeks, midwife said my bump is measuring small so I have been sent for 2 additional ultrasound scans. Did say that size of bump doesn't necessarily mean baby is small, but really hoping thus isn't going to mean i will need to be induced earlier as I've had a previous c section and really want to try for a natural...

Growth scan

Had a growth scan on Monday at 30 weeks, baby measuring 3lb 15oz, is that fairly normal? I'm seeing the consultant Friday which was already booked so I have zero indication if I've got anything to be worried about or not 😅

12 week scan

Babies head measuring in 8th percentile 20 week scan

I’m worried about my baby, her head is in the 8th percentile for her gestation during the 20 week scan. The sonographer said it’s nothing to worry about but I can’t help but worry. She’s fairly small on all of the different metrics but nothing as low as 8% 😖😢

5w 3d

Has anyone had a Scan at this stage and saw anything? I’ve been just now and they can see something in my Womb but can’t confirm Pregnancy, need to go back in 2 weeks. They don’t seem concerned, just said it was likely to be too early
