It doesnt mean you will go overdue, it just doesn't mean you can count on an early delivery either!!

Hi Girls , I just thought I would ask yous about size of babies.
I had a ultrasound yesterday and my baby boy is 2.7kgs at 34 weeks and 3 days, The lady doing the ultrasound was shocked at his size and thinks my dates may be out 5 days or so ( which could be possible)?? I am measuring bigger by 1 cm. Do any of you know how much roughly they put on a week?? She said he is just under 80th percentile and once they hit 90th percentile they start looking for reasons why... This has worried me a bit her saying that.
I am actually getting induced on the 9th of october due to a high risk preg so if he is on the bigger side that is good and if my dates were off Id be even happier because I would be more like 37 weeks and not 36 weeks and 3 days when he is born. I am just woundering if he is really that big you know? My tummy is tiny but I know that doesnt mean anything!!
I just hope he is healthy the whole perecntile thing is worrying me!

I had this with ds2, they scared the heck out of me telling me he was going to be big! He was born 10 days early and weighed just 7lbs so I can't see even if I had gone full term he would have been more than 8lbs 5oz or something. I decided that it was better to try and forget what the tech had said as the only point I would know his weight was after the birth. He was a super easy delivery too, no pain relief, a short labour, no stitches and I felt fab afterwards. A friend of mine was told her baby was an average weight and she was 9lbs 10oz when she was born! So try not to worry, they don't seem to be very accurate from what I have heard. xx

You know 5, this is gross and TMI but I have been seriously gassy this pregnancy. I have also started to notice that when I was more gassy, I had a lot more B-H ctx. I also now notice that if I take a gas medicine like GasX, not only do my gas pains go away but the B-H go away too. (temporarily, of course)

Interesting! Good to know.

Had to go to the dr's today because I have had this stupid cold for 2 weeks now, turns out its bronchitis so now I have to take a z pack and an inhaler. Has anyone had to take antibiotics while they were pregnant? It makes me so nervous.

On a positive note the baby flipped and is not breech anymore, but I'm sure he could still flip back, I just hope he stays put

So glad baby is cooperating! Hurray! As for the bronchitis - I did have to take antibiotics back in July when I had that horrible flu and sinus infection. I was even more worried then as I was only about 17 weeks pregnant. Baby was just fine. I did get a roaring YI so that was the worst part.

I am going for a 3D ultrasound in about a half hour. I cant believe I am doing that! After 2 pregnancies with ZERO ultrasounds, this will be my 5th with this baby! (and hopefully my last) I had a coupon and figured, oh well, this is my last baby and my DD I have been waiting so long for!! I will post pics. I am hoping her head isnt too low and we can see her face. I was told to wait until after 30 weeks due to my anterior placenta. Hope I didnt wait too long.

Those are so fun, NeedAGirl! You're going to love it.

Yay for baby going head down dloui!!! That's fantastic! I hope you feel better soon though. I hate being sick while pregnant.

So I just got a call this morning that I FAILED my freaking glucose test! I have never done that before. Grrrrr. Have to go in for the 3 hour on Monday...I better pass that one. Already switching to a low carb diet to try and help my #s out. Put me in a bad mood though.

Oh ,so exciting!Needagirl...I just had my 4d ultrasound today ,for the first time , the baby cooperated,ive never had one before because my other pregnancies they never faced the right way so i missed out.It was so neat,kind of strange seeing kind of what they look like already,im so used to seeing the casper the ghost 2d ones...
We should start a before and after birth 4d thread to see if they actually look the same as the 4d ones

Dloui ,i had to go on antibiotics with my first pregnancy,no need to worry, mine they gave me a mild one and did the job,no bad affects
