Or is it? Had fundal height measured by doc today (community midwife appointments sometimes end up being done by doctors at my GP's surgery), who said the baby is the size it should be at 39 weeks. The measurement was considerably outside the graph in my notes.
I have been given an appointment for a scan with a consultant to check the baby's size. The doc today said that if the baby is looking very large it may be suggested that I'm induced early or have a section.
This is the second time this has happened, a midwife got such a high reading at about 30 weeks that she asked if I had my dates wrong (by a month!!!), but a scan a few days later showed the baby was a perfectly average size.
Is it anything to do with an anterior placenta? Lots of fluid? Too much cake?
