Due in June/July/August 2015

Ugee, my little guy is measuring a week ahead and I feel it! I am huge! People keep asking if I am due in a few days...no, 4 more weeks!!!

Linz looking super cute at your sprinkle! Good luck everyone you will be holding your babies very soon!!! Xxxx

Remember Ugee ultrasound measurements can be off so can fundal height measurements. But if they are WAYYYY off then be concerned. If you are 30 measuring 28-29 or even ahead 31-32 its kinda here nor there. But if you are supposed to be 30 and measuring 24 you may need extra monitoring and scans possibly NSTs etc. Ultrasound weight equals head circumfrence, crown to rump or crown to heel, and circumference of the abdomen of baby. By these measurements they say that is how big baby is. With DS they said he was going to be HUGE oh no c-section blah blah. had him at almost 10lbs on the scan using that formula. He was 7.2 lol

Thanks, just wanted to know it's not just me. Both boys measured at target but then they are boys. I just don't want any added stress and keep thinking everything in the ultrasound was fine so I'm not worrying.

Someone I know was told their baby would be 11lb12!!! So she opted for a section. Her baby was big but not as big, she weighed 10lb10.

So true! I have a cousin who had a vaginal birth with DD1 and then OBGYN said she thought DD2 would be huge so she pushed a c-section. Her DD2 was like 8lbs. I would have been furious. Having major abdominal surgery all because of someone's speculation! NOT cool!!

So altho I shouldn't worry at this point I have to say I can't help but be a little concerned :(

Ugee I measured small throughout this pregnancy and at my growth scan 2 weeks before I had her she was measuring at 6 pound 13oz. She came out at 6 pound 11oz, 2 weeks later. Another friend was told her baby was teeny tiny he measured 7lbs on her due date a week later she had a strapping 8lbs 5oz! So yeah they can be a little out. You might just be having a smaller baby like I was which after 9lbs and 8lbs boys was rather a nice surprise!
Try not to worry I'm sure she is perfect! Xx

Thanks ladies. Well maybe a smaller baby means no tears...here's hoping ;)

shhh ugee dont say that you will jinx yourself haha

Tearing and stiches .. a nightmare

i had the episiotomy done because they needed to forcep him out like a half inch because of my bad hip. I would have rather torn but apparently I had a good cutter because there is no scar.
