Measurements at 34 weeks & sick of being told I look big!!

[Katevic]

I previously posted on here as baby girl was transverse, went to the midwife yesterday at 34 weeks and she is head down now 🥳 but her back is back to back with mine….step 1 complete, step 2 to lean forward more or get on all fours to try turn her over apparently helps? If anyone else has this please share what u did?

I’m being sent for a growth scan as was measuring 35cm, what measurements did everyone else have at 34 weeks? I know we’re all different shapes/sizes etc. Bit scared of being told I will have a big baby but then other people have told me not to panic & that’s not always the case.

Is everyone else getting told by work colleagues how big u look & you can’t have long to go, one even said you sure your not having twins!
it really bugs me & gets me down, you can obviously see I’m pregnant, I don’t need you to make comments! I certainly don’t feel glowing right now.

My first was back to back, I gave birth like that. Other then a little cut, I was absolutely fine. He was measuring fine the whole way through, he was born 7.7! my second however was measuring so high, even ended up over the 90centine line. They were trying to push me for an induction. Growth scans were saying 9+LBS.

So first was born on his due date after 2 days of labour weighing 7.7

Second was born 8 days late 44 minute labour, and was 7.3.

They were completely wrong about my second, although everyone is different l.

I was always told I look like I'm having twins and how huge I went, I loved it though I thought just wait till he's out and then I was getting "wow look how small you have gone" or " must of been all baby"

I'm not 34 weeks until tomorrow, but I'm also measuring big! Can't remember the number, but plotting above the 97th centile. Had a growth scan due to episodes of reduced fetal movements, and baby is measuring on the larger side of average - but less than 90th centile.
I also look quite big for my gestation, but my bump is very out front and I also have an anterior placenta.
I was told swimming is also very good at getting them to spin round from back to back :)

I’m measuring 7 weeks bigger than I am - currently 32wk and measuring 38. This is due to previous surgery and fibroids, although baby is on 98th percentile.

It doesn’t bother me when people comment though, I usually just agree - yes, I am big, imagine walking round carrying a watermelon. I tend to make a joke of it when I first see people because it does feel funny - I’m huge but it’ll be for what? 2 more months? I decided it’s not worth getting worked up about for such a short amount of time.
