Hi,
Really stressed out at the moment... I am currently 36+5 weeks preggers (due for c section at 39 weeks). When i saw my mwife at 34 weeks, she told me that the baby was measuring slightly small (32weeks) but wasn't too concerned as this was within range.
The following week i saw a doctor re: my c section who said the baby was measuring 33 weeks - again wasn't concerned and said it would be monitored .
At my 36 week mwife checkup, my midwife spent sometime measuring me and feeling for position of the baby and said that i was still measuring 32 weeks. She arranged for a scan the following week, when i will be 37 weeks. At this point she did seem very concerned and kept hugging me and telling me to monitor movements etc.
Now i dont know what to think, and am really confused and stressed out. I have read that it may be due to problems with the placenta. I cant bear the thought of my baby being deprived of nutrients/oxygen while i wait for my scan in 3 days time. The baby has been moving about loads, so that is slightly reassuring...but i dont know what to think.
Has anybody else been through this? Any advice would be appreciated...
