Being sent for a growth scan

Hi! I’m 31 weeks, have been to the midwife today and she sent me for a growth scan. Should I worry? I’ve changed midwives and they didn’t seem to measure my uterus in the same way. I’m really panicking and I don’t know what to do. HELP!!!

Polyhydromnios?

Anybody have this? I got sent for a growth scan as bump was measuring big. Baby is weighing 7lb6oz at 37 which isn't that big but they said I have some slight extra fluid/water around baby.

Boy or girl? 💖

Any guesses on boy or girl based on our most recent scan? We are having a gender scan next week to find out but I have NO IDEA. How do so many women say they can feel what they’re having, I’m lost 😂

Retroverted Uterus

I went for my 12 week scan and was told I have a tilted uterus so they couldn’t really get a good image of baby. I had an internal scan and the baby looked healthy however as the baby was sat upright they couldn’t get any measurements. I’m booked in for the 31st but I just feel anxious. Anyone else have a retroverte...

How big is everyone’s baby measuring?

I’m 37+3 had an ultrasound and they measured him as being 7 pounds 10 ounces. My first born I had naturally at 40+3 and he weighted 7 pounds 9.5 ounces. I’m so scared to go that far now. Are the ultrasound weight accurate?

Heart Doppler

Hi everyone! I’m pregnant with my first baby. I was gifted a heart doppler and I have tried to use it many times (even right after a ob appointment) and I have never found his heart beat. Has anyone else had a hard time using them?

Owlet

Does anyone have an owlet and worry about the pulse rates? I know it’s not 100% accurate, but sometimes my LO’s readings are 160+? It’s never for extended periods of time (only really short bursts), and the average when I wake up is always usually between 120-130, but I just wondered if this was normal?

Scans and baby measurements.

How accurate are measurements at scans? Our baby was 53rd percentile, then weeks later 98th. My belly is however on the smaller side, so scratching my head as to how bub got so massive in 4 weeks.
