    They are saying 7lbs 5oz and is on the 95th centile (36 weeks) I know they can be majorly wrong using these I just hope they are wrong as means baby would have put on 3lbs on in 4 weeks, so going by that if I go to 40 weeks she would be 10lbs 5oz :O Like Susie said though they can be 25% out...

    My midwife said today that the doctors would still allow me to go the normal time overdue even if baby was measuring big, if that's the case what's the point in growth scans? She said they didn't really listen to them anyway :-/

    It's more of an uncomfortable feeling every now and again it'll make me wince but it's not so bad to make me worry, I think the pain above my belly button, and I might be wrong is roughly where the top of my uterus is and it's when I bend over so I'm guessing it's my body telling me to bend...
