So I'm sat here in agony, DH (and I use the D very loosely) has made a bed on the floor and fine asleep!! Chocolate teapot springs to mind!! Hopefully not long to go things seem to be progressing well xxx

Waitingonasmile · 20/12/2017 06:43

What a long night for you @ziggzagg !! I really hope it's over soon. Was hoping there would have been a baby update this morning. ThanksBrew. Hopefully not long to go.

MegRam · 20/12/2017 07:39

Has anyone else measured large for dates?

Saw a different midwife to normal yesterday at 37+2 and she measured fundal height off the chart! She's arranged a growth scan for the 28th in case the baby is 'on the large side' but I'm not sure what will actually happen if she is? Any ideas??

I've been tested clear for GD, everything else (BP, urine etc) is good. I have a bad case of oedema but otherwise fine, so this has got me a bit worried!

Ruthcarr1990 · 20/12/2017 07:45

@ziggzagg thinking of you!!! I’d be kicking him in the head!! Just think it will all be worth it in the end xxx

reetgood · 20/12/2017 07:55

@megram I’ve had three different people do my fundal measurements and whilst I’m measuring big, neither I or midwives are particularly concerned. The midwife who took a measurement putting me in 95th percentile told me not to worry as she measures big. The midwife who did my last at 36 weeks dropped me down a bit, but also said as head wasn’t engaged she would expect slightly bigger. Both fundal and growth scans are subject to interpretation and aren’t exact. Last midwife said at my stage, they’d be more concerned about a pattern indicating lack of growth than big baby given I have no gestational diabetes.

ForumUsername · 20/12/2017 08:20

@MegRam our baby is measuring big and has all through
They expect it to be 8.5 pounds at due date
I have been diagnosed with GD though (in Ireland the levels are lower and if I was in the UK I would of passed the GTT)

I'm a little concerned as I haven't put any weight on the past couple of weeks (since I've started the diabetes diet) although bump is getting bigger
I've a growth scan later today so hoping it's more accurate

Best of luck @ziggzagg

EekThreek · 20/12/2017 08:22

Hi all,

I was in at the start and got a bit lost along the way as the threads always moved so fast! Can I come back pleeeeez?

EdD is now 26th Jan, I start ML on Friday . I've had two glucose tests, and a growth scan as I've been measuring big for dates, although this week I'm now 36cm (@34+5) which is the least big I've been.

Had a 4d scan a few weeks ago so the older two can start to feel a bit more invested. Looking forward to catching up with you all a bit more!

Waitingonasmile · 20/12/2017 09:51

Well that's c section booked for 9th Jan at 40 weeks if I haven't gone into labour before then. Really hope I do go into labour but glad there's an end point.

Ilikeeyes · 20/12/2017 15:06

@MegRam I also measured off the scale. Had a growth scan at 36 weeks and told all fine. Baby has a big round tummy and curled in a ball so making my bump measure large. The growth scan was amazing, can see so much more detail on the scan at this stage.

cheshiremama89 · 20/12/2017 15:16

Just come back from my 34 week app despite being 34+6

I am now "off the scale" measurement wise, with him being approx 6lbs already.

Midwife didn't seem phased and said there was no point having a growth scan as it wouldn't change anything - they wouldn't induce me as it could lead to a caesarean.

Is this the case?

Surely if he's going to be a whopper there isn't much point me trying?

I'm only 5''2 and quite small built.

Can you "request" a caesarean? I hate the thought of being forced into giving natural ago (despite this being my birth preference) only to then have to have an emergency caesarean if he gets stuck Confused

Ruthcarr1990 · 20/12/2017 15:26

Just been for my 36 week growth scan as dd was 4lb10 born,

My little puddings weighing 6lb41/2 already with 4 weeks to go was amazing seeing him blinking and pouting,

Got quite emotional as the room I was scanned in was the room I was told I had lost my previous 7 baby’s and were I had my first scan with this baby,

Anyone else woundering how @ziggzagg is getting on? Xxx

January babies #6 - waddling in to the 3rd trimester!
EekThreek · 20/12/2017 16:19

@cheshiremama89 I've had two 9lb babies, and I'm 5ft3. There's always a risk something could go wrong, but there's no harm in trying for the birth you want. I've heard it said that your body grows the baby it can deliver - obviously there are sometimes problems that you can't predict and babies get stuck, but there's no reason to think it's more likely to happen to you just because the baby might be big

Also, I know it's easy to worry, but ultimately it won't change the outcome. Much better to focus on the positives and concentrate on getting it out when the time comes 😊

Bringmethechips · 20/12/2017 19:53

So our baby boy arrived last night as a bit of a surprise at 36+6. Being kept in for monitoring as classed as pre term! Can't wait to get him home and start settling in as a family!
