Due In May :)

I don't know where is goes as surely it wouldn't all collect in there as it would be too much?

Got a free baby bottle in the post! I know I plan on breast feeding but was thinking of buying bottles anywho...nice surprise getting free stuff lol

 

[Hann12]

Maybe we somehow wee it out?? I read that the amniotic fluid starts to decrease now as the baby takes up more room.
That's good about the bottle - what make is it? It's funny but before I had Annabelle I thought a bottle was a bottle but nope that's not the case! Most babies are really picky about what type they will drink from (Annabelle never took one at all until 7 months and then only a MAM one. I bought all kinds to try with her before that. Definitely don't buy loads of one type as it would be bad luck that your baby won't take it!! I tried 6 types before I struck gold with mam!

 

[Jary]

It's an avent one. I haven't a clue which are the best lol

 

[Hann12]

Never tried avent but every baby is different anyway so what worked for Annabelle probably won't work for the next one!

Happy 29 weeks!!

happy 29 weeks bump buddies!!

i used avent with both of mine,they are good reliable bottles. i awlays got the Variflow teats as well so u dont have to keep buying new, they have 1, 2 and 3 on the teat and you rotate it to increase/decrease flow.

when i was breastfeeding i bought this - https://www.medelabreastfeedingus.com/products/594/calma and it was fantastic. he switched between bottle n breast from 5 weeks no problem

Baby is head down! Woop! Didn't get a GD test. Mw said only if its family history and BMI. She did test my urine which had protein and ketones present but she said she'll test when I see her next in 3 weeks and then act on it of I still have them present.

Baby is measuring big (29cm) but mw said she isn't concerned at this point because babies can plateau off nearer the time..obvs if it does go up they'll look into it. So far so good tho!

 

[Hann12]

29cm is bang on for 29 weeks though! It's meant to be same measurement in cm as weeks.

 

[Jary]

Ah right! On my chart its just below the highest centile...not above tho, which is good.

Really hope baby stays in head down position tho! So pleased when mw pointed to the top of my belly and went 'that's a bum there'

 

[MissMummyMoo]

I was gonna say what Hann said that measurements fine.

Fingers crossed baby stays head down but don't be worried if they don't as the can still flip about for a few weeks yet. I don't think MWs get worried until around 36/37 weeks. I had a scan at 28 weeks and he was head down, I had another yesterday and he was breech x

 

[Hann12]

Mines still been moving too though mainly head down and flipping its body around.

It's weird about your chart but definitely fundal measurement is cm=weeks and your mw should have told you that. Sounds like a very perfect average sized one to me so def don't worry!

 

[Hann12]

Jary - is this the kind of chart:
https://www.gestation.net/fetal_growth/examples.htm
Look at the normal growth chart.
I have to say I've never seen this before and always been told cm=weeks but looks like there are other charts out there that suggest otherwise. I wouldn't get too worried though as I'm sure you are normal sized

 

[Hann12]

Looking at this chart I think Annabelle measured 38cm at 40 weeks which would have meant she was 3600g and about 70th percentile but she was actually 2336g and 9th percentile so I'd say this is pretty inaccurate!

 

[Hann12]

Actually she was 2700g!!

Got my GD app on thursday finally so hopefully I will get some ultrasounds make sure all is well he has been growing right on so far as am I only gaining about 12 lbs so im just watching my fat and sugars for now until I get my diet from the specialist ugh

 

[Jary]

I did see that she had written down 29cm= 28.5 in my notes so maybe that's it? It's just on the chart it's plotted as being on the highest centile but it certainly wasn't abnormal so I'm not worried.

 

[Powell130]

I gotta call my doc tomorrow, my diet or appointment time didn't come in the mail. Bleh

3D ultrasound round 2 in 2 hours ladies, keep your fingers crossed for a cooperative baby!! I just wanna see his face

 

[Sass827]

Hope it works out for you Powell.
I like that chart Hann. It says Dylan is spot on for 29 weeks (1559 grams) as compared to baby center, who says she should only be 1153. I was getting a little freaked that she was super big.
They sized me at the 3d scan so I could question the tech about it. She said they figure it out by measuring the babies bones. It was pretty neat.
