Growth charts
I'm getting rly confused with the fundal height charts!!
Today I got measured and was measuring 31cm (at 31 weeks), however I have looked at the weight conversion and it says 4lbs 8oz! Can that be right, cos it doesn't sound like it? I had a moderately full bladder as I was rushing before the appointment - could that have made a difference?
I'm mainly confused cos from what I've read on here, 31cm is average for 31 weeks, and yet on my fundal height chart it says this is bigger than average? The charts have my height (5"5) and BMI (26) on them - does that mean they are specially adapted for me? Confused!!! :?

Strange how we worry, when actually big babies are healthier than small ones apparently!

Me neither! I'm absolutely dreading the birth particularly the idea of forceps or an episiotomy...aaaarrrrgh!
SarahandNigel...you've put my mind at rest...for now hehe! I havent put on much weight only a stone & a half but it has piled on recently so I'm sure there's more to come.

I was never scared about giving birth but now it is getting closer I'm pretty much terrified!
