Try not to worry Lady, it's still early and there's plenty of growing time left for baby in there. I remember when I was pregnant with Ellie, they scared the life out of me when I went for a growth scan as they thought she might be big since I had gestational diabetes only to be told she was "too small" and then I had to have regular growth scans to make sure she was growing. I always remember her femur measurement being really small for her gestation and I was googling frantically "femur x by x at 36 weeks" etc. In the end she was born ten days early(induced due to blood pressure and the gestational diabetes) at 6lb 2oz which is little but not too small at all and if you think i'd been left to go over due perhaps another 3 weeks or so she could have easily crept over 7lb!

As for the measurments, OH isn't very tall for a guy he's only 5'5 (I'm 5'7) and Ellie just takes after him, she's really petite and has short little legs lol. I have to buy her 18-24 months in jeans and trousers, and they're a little big and she's 3 in september!

don't forget that not every baby is the same and grows the same or will be the same size, height or proportion it's all down to genetic material too!

:hugs: x
 
Congrats to everyone with the gender reveals...very exciting and the girls are way down there..lots of potential good boyfriends when they are older.
 
Good luck ladies. I'm leaving this thread. I guess I haven't established relationships or whatever, cuz I feel when I speak its just not heard. I try and not rake it personal , as I know how fast threads can move, but its hard when your going through a traumatic situation and need support, even just with one kind word, and you don't even get acknowledged. Again wish u all the Best
 
Don't leave the thread Lindss. The thread moves fast and I didn't see your post but just saw it. I stayed team yellow after my u/s last week ... It's really worth the surprise especially at birth! I've done it with my daughter so I know first handed what it's like to have that type of surprise and ****nothing**** compares! I am so sorry to hear about your dh!! Hope they can put the end back on! If not, not biggie deal, I know a few who lost ends of their fingers and still function just ok. Hope you are coping well with a crazy weekend/week thus far. :hugs:
 
Lindss don't leave!

Sometimes when our post is the last on a page, it gets easily missed once someone has started a new page. I am sure that no one was intentionally ignoring what happened to your husband. My goodness! That is terrible. I hope that his surgery goes well, I have known people to saw off fingers before and it is certainly a rough go. :hugs:
 
Oh lindss i am so sorry to hear about you DH! That sounds really scary!!! I can understand how hard it must be fore you right now....

I just came on now and i totally missed your post because it was at the bottom of the other page (i have posted things before that end up at the bottom and often get missed).. until you posted that other message i would have never seen it. Honestly i truly believe all the ladies on here were not intentionally ignoring you. I can not imagine how stressful this must be for you right now and know that we are all here to support you ! :hugs:
 
Lindss I think your taking it too personally. I post all the time and I get no replies. Its unfortunately the nature of b&b. I never saw your post either and tend to just look at the last page that I read. I know it must be stressful. I hope evetything works out ok and evetything goes well. Thinking of you.

Thanks for you input hun :hugs: I know i'm ust looking at things to much and if I went to my regular Gyn he prob wouldn't even mention it. I thing that gyn doesn't have much manners how to treat preg women probably. My fault really I should have just waited another two weeks. But hey ho I did it and now I'll never go to any1 else!!:dohh: It's true all babies are different I don't see how they can compare so much! My LO femur is bigger than 18 weeks slightly but probably as dh is 6 feet and i'm 5'6....:shrug:
 
I just went back through and saw your post Mama Bear. I'm sorry about your DH, that must be terrible! I hope that he's doing okay. I can't imagine how painful it would be to lose a finger and need to have it sewed back on. Please don't leave us. I'm sorry if I haven't been as active or responsive in here as I could be, it's just been really busy on my end lately. We've had to do a lot to get our apartment ready for when Liam gets here. :hugs:

And Mama Butterfly, I'm sure that your boy is just fine. I'm glad that the other Mamas were able to reassure you that every baby grows differently and is a different size at birth from other babies. :)
 
Welcome expecting mom! Do you know what you are having yet?

Congrats baby luv!

I find out next Tuesday and I can't wait! Im hoping for a girl!

Ah Lindss, sorry if your posts haven't been seen. TBH I don't come on very often anymore just because the thread does move so fast so I can't keep up! It's nice to still be a member though to check in once every while. If I've got a specific concern I tend to post on the main forum though. I hope everything is going ok for you and that I still see you around on here xxx
 
We had our 20 week scan yesterday. Baby looks to be doing well and it's a..........


BOY!!!!!! :blue:

We are so thrilled. I had boy vibes from the start but I was wavering lately due to a fast heartbeat but when I saw the scan I just knew. Then she checked for his bits and pointed out the testicles and the 'little willy!'. So cute. Can't wait to meet my little monkey, halfway there, woop woop!
