Anyone been in this situation? I'd like some calm and sensible words please.
Just been for my 34 week check up with the mw and baby's coming up rather small. His heartbeat is a steady 140, which it has been for the last few visits, so that's all good, but his measurement has gone from measuring at the 90th centile at 28 weeks, to being below the 5th centile this week.
MW did say that measuring can be quite subjective as it is just a person with a tape measure, but she's booked me in for a growth scan tomorrow.
How normal is this? I'm sure it just means that baby's all curled up in an awkward position and there's nothing actually wrong, and he's growing as normal... right?
Should I take my hospital bag in the car tomorrow, just in case? They won't want to induce me, will they?
Ugh - no idea how I'm going to concentrate on work today - my mind's all over the place.
