why at 39 weeks don't I know how much my baby weighs or if it's even engaged but at 20 something weeks do other people…

Same here!

Well I'm only 32 but had such bad care- it's a joke!

It's all to do with the midwife

most girls that know have had to have additional scans were they will give approx weight. I had extra scan due to reduced movements today and they gave me an approx weight based on babies measurements xx

At the 20 week scan on the measurements it shows the est weight at that time which is based on head tummy and another one. Then a lot are having growth scans. I have mine every 4 weeks due to pe small baby large baby and hellp syndrome

well the last appointment I had was a student midwife with a qualified nurse and I thought they were awful tbh they were discussing me like I wasn't even there and I found it rather rude! and I'd like to know if I've got a student or not as I actually like my midwife and I've only got 2 see her twice through my whole pregnancy! would be nice to have a rough guess of weight and if my baby is on its was down or not, from feeling though I'm sure it's not going to be long and I had a show last night xx

@summertimebaby16, on ur notes it should give an estimated weight and I've asked my midwife at each appointment how he is positioned.. unfortunately for some if you don't ask you done get x

I'll have to have a nosey at my notes and scans then see if I can find anything I haven't notice any before and I always look to see what theyve said, I'm so nosey lol xxx

How can your midwife tell u? I thought they had to check the baby n measure or something lol My midwife is based at my gp... Would she be able to tell mee i am 24 weeks this weekend???

Don't you have a growth chart with the estimated weight at the side?

@babydust949, I think the midwife can tell if baby is engaged or not but I think it has to be a scan for the weight :( @homely.mummy.no2 yes I have a growth chart I didn't no it had weight on it though clearly I need to be more nosey lol xxx

Yeah you have the growth chart and conversions in the front of your book😊 this is how I've been keeping on track with my girls weight!xx

ohhh clearly I need to pay more attention lol ill be getting my book out for some bedtime reading tonight haha xx

Lol no worries. I don't think they are that accurate tho to be honest x

I don't think they are either nest way is to wait and see it's just nice to have an idea of what i have to part with lol my chart said 7lb9 I think that will do nicely lol xx
