hi!

I had a growth scan at 32 + 6 weeks because they thought my baby was too small cos i only have a small bump and boy were they wrong!! At my scan baby weighed 5lb 4oz! apparently i just hide it well lol! I was concerned at the time cos obviously then i had another 7+ weeks of growth!

Consultant didnt seem to bothered though and said that alot of babies have growth spurts and then wont grow much for a few weeks...so you could be in that position. If you're really concerned you should make another appt with consult to discuss issues cos u dont wanna be goin into the labour worryin like mad how your guna get baby out! You never know-baby might be further along for dates than everyone thought and may be making an appearance sooner!! x x

Hey all,

My head is spinning right now, had consultant this morning and she had a feel and said it felt like a big baby which i was aware of. SO they did a growth scan and oh yes my bump is ALL baby hardly any fluid and its already 6lb6oz i have 5 weeks of growth left until my due date.

I am really really worried about getting it out, i am only 5'1 (if i am lucky) and i just dont see it happening. They said they would monitor me during labour and make decisions because where i am booked in it is not consultant led so any intervention and i would have to be shipped off!

To make it worse the doc and midwife this morning didnt seem phazed by everything, and on the chart i am 3mm away from the bump being abnormally big for the weeks - they havent even asked me to make another appointment for a check with them.

Am i faffing about nothing?

Has anyone else been in this position before with the growth?

HELP! lol

Amz

Yeah i know - all the sensible answers....

cant help just panicing though especially because this is my first lol

Thing is it is measuring on target for weeks down my belly, baby is just fat and bump is very wide so i dont know. Its head down and has turned thankfully it was back to back last week but moved now (one good thing)
