Sorry @snuff9861, I hope things get going soon!
I just left my BPP, baby looks good. The tech did some size measurements for me even though the dr didn't order them. You guys, he is measuring 9-10 lbs with a 98th percentile head circumference 😭 Ultrasound measurements can be way, way off, right? Right?!?!?

Yes!! They always tend to lean towards the higher size for weight and can be up to 2 pounds off.

They can definitely be off! My bff was told her daughter was over 8lbs during an ultrasound. She went into labor later that day and her daughter was born at 6lb-something.
My OB says inn a good 1cm, but that's where I was with my last pregnancy when my contractions were under five minutes apart so I'm not discouraged. They still made me schedule an appointment for next week but I know this baby is on it's way. I'm at seven to ten minutes apart and they are getting longer. I'd go try to walk the baby out but my husband decided to go buy snacks and food for his parents and they are taking their sweet time driving up.
Sorry @snuff9861 , we can wallow together. That's what I was told at my last appointment also.
Today was so, so crazy at work. I'm exhausted. I was planning to stop working on my due date next Wednesday, but found out I have to get my doctors to write a note for me to be off if baby isn't here yet. I'll be begging tomorrow at my appointment.

They told me baby ways measuring 8pnds at 8 months. She was just born at 39+4 6pnds . 14. They can totally be off. It's an estimate.

I seem to have convinced E to take a pacifier. Let's see if that makes tonight better. He's not much of a comfort nurser, but he really likes to be held, so idk if it'll matter. I have a little bit of hope. Just a little.

fem, DD was 7lb 6oz & DS1 was 7lb 3oz, so I just assumed this baby would be in the 7-8 lb range too...but now I'm scared he's going to be born toddler-size, lol.

I'd imagine he would be closer to your other two...hopefully their estimate is off!

Silly me. Pacifier is a no go. This kid is sooo fussy at this time every night. Tonight I gave him gas drops hoping they'd help. Now he's nursing. Again. We'll probably both fall asleep here and I'll wake up in 2 hours having no idea what's going on.
After about 2 hours of feeding and then just sucking, I gave up and gave him a pacifier. He kept falling asleep on the boob and waking up when I moved him and doing the sucking motion. I really wanted to wait a bit longer before introducing the pacifier.

Oh hai, I have one of these too. Usually after her first night time wake up she's a no go to go back to bed. Sometimes I can get her to just chill in her chair for a while, but usually she just wants to sit with me. Save
