Hi. I had my 36 week appointment yesterday with the midwife at the hospital during my tour of the birth centre.
When doing my usual checks that my own midwife usually does, this midwife said she thinks the baby growth is starting to even out rather then keep going diagonally up on the growth chart. Even though the baby is measuring right for 36 weeks it is not growing as much now.
As this is my first baby and I have very little understanding about what to expect at this stage, I asked her what this meant.
All she said was that she was not concerned at this stage but she would want me to see my own midwife next week again to monitor the growth.
Unfortunately I have been very anxious throughout this pregnancy due to trying so hard to get pregnant so now naturally I feel very unsettled as this midwife gave me such little information after mentioning the growth.
I just feel like I cannot wait another week to wait and see what is going on as in the meantime I am concerned something could be going wrong.
Has anybody got any advice for me please?
