worried-growh scan!
Hey all,
Im really concerned about my baby, the midwife visited today, checked my measurments and im measuring alot smaller that last time so she has booked me for a growth scan 2morro. I have been measuring bang on from the begging and last month or so i have been measuring a week bigger each time, now im 35+2 weeks and am measuring 33cm. I have been asked to keep an eye on his movements n if there not normal i have to ring this number. Im so worried, willing him to move all the time it sounds stupid but i dont feel pregnant nemore. ne1 else had an experiance like this?sorry its so long please write xxx

Just wanted to say that wen they measure ur bump it can often be really unreliable and measurements depend on how the baby is lying and whether u have the same mw doing it each time. In my first pregnancy they didnt measure me once coz they said it wasnt a reliable way of judging babies size. At least u have ur growth scan tomorrow which will be so much more accurate, so although its hard try not to worry about it until uve had ur scan. Sure everything will be fine, sorry im if not much help but there isnt anything u can do so try not to stress about it. Gud Luck. Kerry xxx

With my last lo (my 3rd) I was told by a mw that I was small so went for a growth scan where they said he was perfectly normal size.
The next time I went for a mw appointment she told me (it was a different mw) that I was carrying a really big baby! Can't win methinks!!!
For info, my ds was born 6lbs 13oz at 38 weeks, so perfectly average really!
Try not to worry hon, I'm sure your lo is just fine!
