Growth scan ‘ gut feelings’ .. did you have any ? Were You right ??

[Sideofthelake]

I am aware this may sound daft
Maybe I’m just trying to convince myself
Baby has measured small all the way since 28 weeks ( now 35)
She’s been below the 5th percentile so lots and lots of extra checks and looks like they’ll want her out at 37 weeks.
Last scan she was just 3lb 6 .. I have my next growth scan Monday
And for some weird reason I’ve convinced myself she’ll be big? As in about 5lb , over the 5th percentile and a lot less of a concern.
I am a worrier so I’m unsure why I feel so positive - is it just a coping strategy??

Has anyone else any experiences of how high they’re little one jumped up the chart ?? Good or bad!

Hey, think we talked on my thread other day. At every scan I have bet my Dh that baby will be 20th centile etc because I feel like Ive popped out or like movements have got stronger etc, but this time I said I bet theres no growth and we get kept in. To the point I was physically sick with anxiety waiting to see consultant. On each occasion I was wrong and baby followed expected growth each time. Once when I told a consultant I had been sure we were going to be above the curve she just did like a sideways head shake and very patronisingly told me that was never going to happen in this pregnancy. We have fluctuated between like 5th and 10th centile. I have my fingers crossed for you. Are you having doppler scans in the week between growth too?

@solitaA hello!! Its so nerve wracking isn’t it ! How many weeks are you again now ? Do you remember the growth between 33 and 35 weeks? I really feel like I’ve popped but I don’t know if it’s wishful thinking. We havnt managed to get over the 5th percentile yet so I’m really hoping that we are on Monday. Yes Doppler scans in between and twice weekly CTGs - this baby best be very well behaved once arrived !

I am 36 weeks tomorrow and only have 1 more week of being pregnant. It has been the most hideous pregnancy, we were expecting twins but lost 1 at 10 weeks and then haemarraghed (however you spell it) at 14 weeks with this 1 then continued to bleed for what felt like forever. Have honeatly no idea how this 1 is still in there but she is an absolute fighter 💪🏻. People say pregnancy is the best time and such a magical thing but I have found it nothing but stressful and emotionally draining. I think she gained 10oz in the 2 weeks from 33 to 35. But also our scans are at the end of my week so that was 33+5 to 35+5 i don't know if that makes a difference.

Oh god that sounds awful I hope you’re ok at least the end is near now! Are you being taken in at 37 weeks due to growth also then I presume ?
My consultant has actually booked me in for a section 2 days before my due date ?! But a different doctor told me they don’t want me going past 37 weeks. I see my original consultant on Thursday so I’m hoping this gets sorted it’s abit stressful being in limbo!
If this little one has gained 10oz in the two weeks I’ll be so pleased ! Did you see more growth towards the end of your scans ? I know from week 29-31 I only had 200g, then 400g .. x

not really noticed the actual weight gain until this last 1. yes not allowed to go past 37 but they know my placental bleeds are the reason for the slow growth. I hope your consultant gives you the answers you need. It is my 3rd baby as well though so they are hoping induction will work quite well. 🤞
