Baby weight?

What’s everyone’s baby weighing? I’m 33 weeks and 4 days and the hospital has me worried that something is wrong. I know my baby is on the smaller side, but they are saying everything is okay. I’ve had scan the last few weeks checking babies growth, the placenta and the fluid around baby. At 30 weeks baby was 2lb ...

So I got sent for a growth scan today because at my appointment yesterday baby was measuring small. When I got there he’s on the 70th percentile (which worries me) and they told me that it’s on the 95th percentile for his stomach???!!!

I don’t have gestational diabetes and they said that’s usually the reason?? I then had to have my blood pressure monitored as it showed quite high. Has anyone else been told baby has got a large stomach? This worries me alot.

Breech baby

Just went for my 31 week scan and have been told I have a baby in a frank breech position. I feel really scared and I don’t think I want too opt in for ECV. What other options were people given?

Anterior placenta

I was told at my 20 week scan that I have an anterior placenta, has anyone else been told this? Do you ever worry that because you can’t feel baby as much you think it’s reduced movement? I know I won’t feel him as much but I keep worrying that I’m having reduced movement 😭
