November baby now an October baby

So, this is my first baby and he has been measuring big pretty much since 20 week scan. Just had my second growth scan I’m 36+5, they think baby is 9lb now 😳😬😮 no gestational diabetes or anything either. (HOW have I grown such a big baby? I haven’t had a big appetite or anything through out and barely gained any…

Mat B 1 form

Does anyone know when you get the Mat B 1 form? And how do you get it? Do they send it to you? I’m keen to get things sorted with work … one less thing to think about! I may be missing this on the Gov website - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/maternity-certificate-mat-b1-guidance-for-health-professional...

Scared

I’m 19 weeks along and I e yet to get my anatomy scan. Has anyone felt the movement of the baby yet or am I just getting paranoid for no reason? I’ve downloaded apps where we can hear the baby’s heartbeat and couldn’t find it, maybe because I am fat? Please suggest I’m just scared, it’s my first pregnancy.

All of my appointments been good but now my doctor told me im measuring small, so when I go back 10/23 for my last ultrasound they gone let me know what’s going on. I pray my babygirl is ok.

Am i overthinking

So i had my 28w scan today and they said she’s measuring smaller than they’d like so they did some test that involved putting a needle in my belly and taking amniotic fluid out. They informed me that there’s like a 1% risk of my waters breaking early or having a miscarriage because of the test. After it they showed ...

Hematoma

I’ve had my dating scan today. Everything looked really good and I’m measuring ahead of what I thought but I found out I have a hematoma. The midwife reassured me not to worry but I have come home and googled it stupidly! And now I’m worrying. Does anyone else have a hematoma/had one in a previous pregnancy?
