@serendipper - Great news that everything's OK. Worth getting checked out.

Unless I have concerns, I'm not scheduled to have any further scans - so I was thinking of booking a private one at some point (just for reassurance!). Does anyone have any thoughts about the most useful time to do this? I've heard that in a lot of countries, pregnant women are routinely scanned at around 36 weeks to check metal lie and growth??

ElleMcElle · 10/10/2017 09:56
  • fetal lie!
Disinterested · 10/10/2017 12:02

So glad all turned out well for you @seren :)

I'm feeling very hormonal and emotional this week and, between us girls, dreading my wedding on Friday!Blush Not because I don't want to marry him but because I hate being the centre of attention and I am the fattest I've ever been and won't even be able to have a few wines!

I think we have settled on a name... Bobby :)

SJ1989 · 10/10/2017 12:35

Had our first growth scan today and baby is measuring 30+6 when we are actually 28+2 ! Apparently she should be around 2.2lb but is 3.3lb so a little chunk, they are doing a diabetes check as she's just above the 95th centile but other than that they are happy as although big she's proportionate!
I'm already high risk for preterm so this makes me think little miss may be going to be impatient! Still snug atm though and for some reason I have early December in my head!

ForumUsername · 10/10/2017 15:39

@Disinterested I thought I’d hate to have all the attention on our wedding day 2 years ago but I ended up enjoying it
It was like me and DH were in a bubble and everyone else was outside that
It really was such a happy calm day

One thing I’d say is make sure you’ve scheduled or grab a few 15min breaks together throughout the day for you both to connect and wallow in the fun/emotion x

I hope you’ve an amazing day

Hotpinkangel19 · 10/10/2017 16:00

I have a growth scan on Saturday - I will be 28 weeks exactly!

Mummyme87 · 10/10/2017 16:31

Have my second GTT tomorrow... checked my fasting glucose this morning and was borderline... I did eat cake at 10pm last night... so having lunch now which is pasta so not great but will have a salad in a few hours before leaving work and call it a day for food. I mean if I'm diabetic so be it, least we can monitor and hopefully not end up with a giant baby this time.. but the diet is so strict!!

SJ1989 · 10/10/2017 16:42

@mummyme87 I don't do strict diets so really hoping I'm not and she's just naturally a bit of a chunk lol

MummyM33 · 10/10/2017 17:17

@SJ1989 what did they say the next steps would be? The reason I ask is my last measurement was big (the midwife measured me 3 weeks ahead). She said we'll see what the next one is like to see if I need a growth scan but just wondered do the induce you early if the baby is measuring big?

Waitingonasmile · 10/10/2017 17:28

@Disinterested I felt the same getting married. I wasn't nervous about marrying DH but about being the centre of attention. It wasn't nearly as bad as I expected. Is it a small wedding you are having?

Disinterested · 10/10/2017 17:40

Thanks ladies :)

Yes it's a very small affair with just family, so I suppose that makes it less to worry about! We haven't even told our friends we are getting married as we couldn't be bothered with the 'who do we need to invite malarkey! X

SJ1989 · 10/10/2017 18:23

@MummyM33 just said they will do the glucose check an if that's ok it's fine, I think if your not already having them they would do growth scans but because I'm already having them they don't need to change anything with our care

MummyM33 · 10/10/2017 19:20

Ah ok thank you 😊

Usernamegone · 10/10/2017 20:23

Does anyone feel like their bump is about to explode! I feel really tight over the middle of my stomach. I'm expanding rapidly but maybe I'm just not stretching fast enough!

ForumUsername · 10/10/2017 20:24

We had a 3d Scan this evening
It’s weird and amazing in equal measures
Baby loved having it’s hands up at its face and was sucking on them too

Owl1011 · 10/10/2017 20:29

@Usernamegone I have this exact feeling this evening! Bump is rock solid and feels like there's so much pressure!

SJ1989 · 10/10/2017 20:37

@MummyM33 no problem, from What I've seen there can be a few reasons for baby measuring big but it can be nothing at all just that baby is a bit bigger than average. Fingers crossed baby was just having a chubby day when you was measured! Also if it's just off midwife measuring it can be that your holding more fluid it's what it was with my friend so was no concern :)

ziggzagg · 10/10/2017 20:48

I had my 28 week appointment today and have only put 1lb on since booking! GrinNo concerns about baby's weight or growth so I suppose I should just be happy!

Also, I have Gestational Diabetes and the diet is not really strict at all! You obviously have to make some changes but I've never felt hungry and I still get to eat my bread and pasta!! If you head over to Facebook and add Gestational Diabetes UK they have loads of tips and yummy recipes! It's a really supportive group xx

SJ1989 · 10/10/2017 21:17

@ziggzagg that's good to know thank you :) fingers crossed I won't need it but good to know incase any of us do!

Ruthcarr1990 · 11/10/2017 07:19

Well this has just made my day!!!! Xxx

January Babies #5 - Are we 'glowing' yet?!
Usernamegone · 11/10/2017 07:30

Yay! I love poached eggs!

Disinterested · 11/10/2017 07:37

Oh god, the horrible itching has returned with a vengeance and has been especially bad overnight on my legs/feet. I'm going to see how I go today and if it continues go to the doctor and get checked for cholestasis Sad

Disinterested · 11/10/2017 08:07

Changed my mind and have an appointment for 9am at the doctors! Can't put up with this for another day. X

SJ1989 · 11/10/2017 08:59

@disinterested hope your ok and the doctors give you something to help ease the irritation!

Disinterested · 11/10/2017 10:41

Had an appointment and he's prescribed me cream and sent me to a clinic where I had some bloods. I think they're concerned about ICP which is a worry because it triples your chance of having a still born. I am so hoping that it's just my paranoia! X
