Hello
I am now 37 weeks and have a planned C section 2 weeks today. I am worried about size of baby - I have had a small bump throughout pregnancy and I have probably put on about 12kg. Lots of people keep telling me they are surprised baby is due in 2 weeks. I had a scan a couple of days ago and they said baby maybe on 30th centile (I think for weight but I didn't catch it properly).
I understand that a small baby is one weighing less than 2.5kg.
Has anyone been told they were having a small baby and gone on to have a regular size?
I have a 14 month old so I have not rested, not looked after myself as well as I would have liked, told there were 2 soft markers (maybe a third but that was highly debatable), I was in real shock when pregnant so quickly and not as thrilled as I might have been and now just feel that baby has not been given the best start and feel worried and anxious that everything will be ok.
