okay im a ftm. im supposed to be 33 weeks. at my last ultrasound my doctor said i looked 2 weeks ahead and i was 5.10 pounds but didnt change my due date being he could just be a big baby. also though hes gotton really low, my hips are spreading, and my muscles are really sore (down there). Do you think he might come earlier then expected? ?? i just want to be prepared!
thanks @earthmama i knew they wernt always accurate but i figured with my body preparing also it was a possibility. i love my midwives but i feel as though i dont know a whole lot about my pregnancy and i know they try to leave the pregnancy alone as much as possible but it also worries me being i dont know what to expect and when my chiropractor tells me what my body is doing it scares me that i may be closer
Also, every baby is like every person.. With a different body type, bone structure, and what's big for one may not be full-grown for another. They grow at varying rates just like elementary aged children. They cannot be nailed to a chart their whole lives. I was never ON the growth chart because I was so petite, but they didn't worry my mom like I've seen doctors do these days.
It's impossible for them to be accurate with weight towards the end. Don't let it worry you!
I'm not really sure how to tell. Ftm and everyone says something different. I want her to come too because she has no room but I also don't want there to be any health risks. I'm 32 weeks 1 day
@shortizzie, thats awsome though... i kinda want him to be early if hes ready of course... it feels like hes running out of room... how do you know when you loose your mucus plug? my midwife hasnt done a check up since my first trimester... the doctor said he was 80th percentile too
Honestly I don't think he will. My baby boy measured two weeks ahead around 35 weeks and I'm still here. He actually ended up having a growth spurt and now is measuring just a week ahead and that's just because he's a big baby. So they didn't change my due date. I feel some cramping but I think it will be another week before he decides to make an appearance 😐
