Baby Ezryn Update

Ezryn is measuring in the 8th percentile and doctors are getting worried. He's only weighing 3.5lbs and is not expected to be any bigger than 5lbs. Now I get to have an ultrasound and NST twice a week until April 2nd. Plus twice a week chiropractor appointments to help with the 2 broken bones in my spine. Getting a little stressful over here.

What is going on with your spine? I had a friend who was in a similar situation with a small baby. She was very short as were most of both sides of the family, so they were terribly surprised to be having a small babe. All of her appts went well and she had a healthy baby, as well as two more after that.

@Audrey the doctors have no idea what happened but I have what's called a pars defect in 2 places in my spine. It's incredibly painful and will eventually need surgery but after the baby is born. That and I already have a 2 year old, 1 year old and this baby on the way. So I don't believe I'll even end up getting the surgery.

My husband and I are both tall. Me and 5'7 and him at 5'11. And both our other babies before we're completely on track for weight and height. It's just a weird situation. Idk why he's so small lol

That sounds really rough, I'm sorry. Hope everything goes well at your extra scans and it's just one of those random genetic chance things and you have a sweet little tiny baby soon 😊

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Braxton hicks

I’m currently 34 weeks and have been experiencing braxton hicks for the past few weeks however have been having cramps almost like very strong period cramps In my lower stomach. I’ve mentioned this to my midwife and she only really asked if I’d been keeping hydrated and taking my vitamins which I am but didn’t really proceed to tell me if this was normal or related to braxton hicks also, has anyone else experienced this?

Eid celebrations?

Is it normal to celebrate Eid by drinking alcohol and partying non stop … doesn’t that just go against the whole month of Ramadan im so confused

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Little girl turning herself sideways in next to me

My little girl tonight, has spun herself so she is lying sideways in her next to me, making me panic!

Is this normal at 4.5 months, do I just lie her back normally/vertically?

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!
