Recently had an ultrasound where the baby dropped in growth percentile from 52nd percentile to 25th percentile. The Dr. Assured me this is still healthy and normal but I am still on edge about it. Seems a significant drop in only 5 weeks time... anyone else experience anything like this?

Kinda, but measuring up. When they’re in utero 1 or 2 oz can be the difference between 50th percentile and 90th percentile. Which is what happened with my pregnancies. With my 2nd, my doc kept telling me I was having a huge baby—like 89th percentile. But when I compared his weight to my first born at the same week, it was literally ounces that separated them. I think the most important thing is that there is growth. 25th percentile most likely means compared to other babies at that that same gestation. As long as your baby is growing from week to week, it likely isn’t cause for concern. Also keep in mind the last 4 weeks, those monsters put on tons of weight. Like 2-3 lbs and really grow. Talk to your doctor again if you’re really concerned and to help ease anxiety — mama worries are natural and we’ve all been through them ❤️

Same. Remember the doc scaring me to death that I was going to have a huge baby? Measuring 9lbs right before induction. Came out 7.5 lbs, totally normal weight and smaller than his brother. All that to say, it’s never accurate and you’re looking for upward growth from week to week.

They do that? I've had 2 kids and don't recall them ever telling me about their growth percentile in the womb. The doctor would know so if that's what the doctor said, don't worry about it! They are the experts.

I’m sure not all docs do it because as you can see they’re always off and don’t do any good besides scare concerned mamas. If you look back on your medical charts, it’s probs there.

Hi,

Just started a new job less than a month ago in the tech sector. It was the industry I was fixated on when leaving for. However I realise that I don't think I can cope with the fast paced, lack of wlb, with no support - it's really impacting my mental health already....

I try to hide it from my boyfriend, but its impact is flowing into my personal life.
I feel like a failure, but recognise it might be beneficial to cut loss and quit. Has anyone been in this situation?

Any advice?
