I am midwife led so not under a consultant. As Ive mentioned on previous threads I am concerned about size of baby, but even more so now about the position of the baby, as the midwife never seems sure where he is!
I am getting lots of movement, and its everywhere, big lump up the top sometime, sometime on the side (no idea if its head or bum). Lots of kicks from every angle you can imagine, and the worst stabbing pains you can imagine very low down.
I have asked the midwife for a scan, but shes a bit 'la-la' about it all saying, 'well its a good size we'll keep an eye on it', and about position 'i think its head down, but there are limbs everywhere, it could be still moving round, unlikely but it could be'!!! So none of these things are really helpful.
I am seeing her again on Friday, so will ask yet again if I can have a scan. Other than that the only other thing I can think of is ringing the consultant I saw privately for nuchal (who also works at the NHS hosp I am booked into) to see if he would consider referring me, as I cant afford to have another private scan.
I think I find it more worrying because I work in anaesthetics at the hospital, and if my baby is too big, or breech then Id like to know early and plan it and choose my anaesthetic team, rather than having to have an ECS and being horrified at who is doing it IYKWIM.
WWYD? TIA
