I'm genuinely starting to really struggle. I had normal FTM or pregnancy anxiety in regards to miscarriage worries in the first trimester. That then got worse when I found out I have low Papp-a at 12 weeks, which caused me to worry about baby's growth, late miscarriage and chromosome abnormalities (even though I came back as low risk). Then I started to relax, had a gorgeous 4D scan, alongside several other scans which have came back clear, felt great cause he's a little wriggler and my bump was even measuring big so I thought, perfect he might not be as small as I thought.
Nearly 30 weeks now and the anxiety is setting back in massively. Purely because I had my growth scan at 28 weeks and he's roughly on the 20th centile for all his measurements. Which no one was concerned with and never even said he was small. No mention of anything and the Doppler reading from my placenta was great too. But somehow I've turned this growth scan into an issue that doesn't exist. Started panicking if his growth drops cause he's already on the small side, then worried he might have an abnormality again and now I'm over analysing my bump size every day🙈 I'm actually terrible even though I know there's no problem, no health professional is concerned and to be fair I'm only 5ft so he's hardly going to be massive anyway. I just can't seem to catch a break and I'm just eager for him to be here now so I can see he's okay. So so fed up.
