I am really hoping someone can help and has advice and has maybe even been in the same boat.
I've been having regular scans to check for pre-eclampsia as i was considered high risk. In the last three scans the baby has been right at the top of the scale for weight and they are now worried that i wont be able to have baby naturally as by there estimates i'll end up with an 11lb baby at 40 weeks!
This is my second pregnancy and my first baby was relatively small, only weighting 6lbs 10 ounces.
The thing is the midwifes arent taking this seriously at all. They said the scans arent always acurate which i can understand but as the sonographer explained yesterday how can three scans showing the same amount of growth all be wrong! She said i was on the 94th centile (not entirely sure what that means, sure it just means baby is big! )
I would really like a natural as possible labour and i may even go into labour soon according to gp as i've been having very sharp painful stabbing sensations "down there" for about two weeks now. She seems to think i am starting to dialate and thats why. Midwife ignored it as usual, apparently it's all normal
I would just like alittle advice if anyone has has something similar or any advice on how to bring baby on earlier.
Sorry to go on for so long but i just wana put all the facts on the table.
Any advice appreciated!
Thank you!
