Is it normal for baby to go from 50th to 70th centile in 4 weeks?

My OB says it’s no longer their practice to do checks at every appointment, but they’ll do them if asked. Just curious if anyone is experiencing the same? I’m 36+3, having cramping the last couple of days and think I should ask to be checked at my weekly tomorrow!

Is anyone else experiencing varying discharge at the moment? I'm 22 weeks and getting a bit more discharge at the moment, sometimes it varies in colour but I've been tested for any infections and everything is all clear 🤷🏻‍♀️

I have just had a letter booking me in for a routine growth scan at 26 weeks (on Christmas Eve!). Had my 20 week scan last week and was told everything was fine. Happy to see the baby again but just unsure why I've been booked for one, has anyone else had this?

I’m not sure if these names will be too confusing for English speaker or not. But my husband and older son have very Russian names so I don’t want this baby to be the only one with an English name.

So, this is our third girl and definitely last baby. I've always wanted to honour my dad but it seems we can't produce boys lol. My dad's name is Leonard, and he doesn't have a middle name I could use but was thinking of using Lenny as a middle name. Is this a bit odd or would it work and if so which name? Already...

Hi girls, this is specifically for anyone else that had a keloid scar as a result of their c-section, I’m debating a second csection vs vbac and one of the many things to throw into the decision is whether having a second csection could actually cut away and not leave me with a keloid next time? It’s still itchy and...

I need suggestions on girl names! We like older names. Like Judy or Josephine (it doesn’t have to start with J) Our one year old boy is Roy.

Hi, so I am 20 weeks post c-section tomorrow and I’m having stomach issues. Ever since the c-section I just cannot keep food in for longer than 30-60 minutes. I literally have to stop what I’m doing and run to the toilet. I thought it was just to do with everything being moved around inside and would settle down but...

I’m having twins (20+4) and I’ve still felt 0 movement. When did you start to feel movements?

Had a miscarriage at 5 weeks pregnant - what can I do differently to help minimize it happening again? Any tips to help the anxiety for the next pregnancy? 🙏

I’m having a planned c section with my baby girl due in January. I’ve heard so many amazing things about cramlington and tempted to change from going to the rvi. Is it right that everyone gets their own room and partners are allowed to stay? This wasn’t the case at the rvi and partner had to go home after my son. In...

Can anyone see a very, very faint line, or am I imagining things? 🙈
