I'm booked in for a c-section in two days. I have an anterior placenta and a breech baby, and I have a lot of problems with movements due to both of these factors. I had my last growth scan a week ago today, everything was fine, consultant advised no more scans were needed as although I have problems not feeling movements, baby is moving and weighs an estimated healthy 8lbs and no causes for concern. I went in on Wednesday with reduced movements, after not feeling anything for 12 hours and I went in again on Saturday for the same reason. All day Sunday I could feel the movements, and today he's wiggling away again. It just depends on his position whether I feel anything or not.
They've phoned me this morning to come in for a scan in a couple of hours, which is standard procedure after two episodes of reduced movements. I said that I'm happy with his movements today and yesterday, and my section is in two days so I'm happy to pass on the scan. They said I can reject the appointment but it will be against medical advice.
AIBU to reject it? It's DHs last day at work, he's got so much to do he can't come home and take me, so I'd have to drive myself 50 minutes there and back, at 38+4. I've not driven for a week or so now as I'm so huge and uncomfortable. I really don't think babies at risk, it's just the words 'against medical advice' that has made me doubt myself.
