Hi
Went for an antenatal appointment today, I am 37+4 I think and the midwife commented that my growth chart shows my growth has been slightly up and down between just below the upper line and just above the upper line. She has refered me for a scan just to check the baby's growth. I was kind of expecting this as another midwife had mentioned this to me the very first time I got measured as I was on the top line. I'm not particularly worried as my GP pointed out this way of measuring is not an exact science but I just wondered what it is that they are worried about. Is it just that the baby could be big? Just a bit concerned as the baby could come before the scan is due and my mind is running away with me. I'm booked into a midwife led unit 40 mins away from the hospital and I don't want to be at any unnecessary risk!
Anyone got any ideas why these late scans are done please?
