3rd Trimester Private Growth Scan - London?

5 replies

Am 34 weeks and measuring 37!

Dc1 = 9 lb 11 oz, DC2 = 9 lb 8 oz so I 'do' big babies!

I need to think carefully about my birth options to do minimal damage to my hips (terrible PGP and am hyper mobile - after DC2 I couldn't walk pain-free for 6 months so am very anxious that this could happen again with 3 children under 3.5).

I would like to get a growth scan done so see how big this baby actually is. Can anyone recommend anywhere in SW London please?

Parkside hospital, Wimbledon. ask to be scanned by the midwife sonographer Lorraine Jordan - she is literally FAB. I've been scanned by her twice and I've recommended her to lots of friends.

I had 8 growth scans with my 2nd baby as I measured about 5cm more than my weeks at every appointment (he was 10lb 6oz at term).
The scan 2 days before he was born predicted 9lb 7oz.
The sonographer said scans were less accurate as the pregnancy progressed.
I had an early private scan at Baby Premier which is in Harley Street.

Brilliant - many thanks for the recommendation. Will call in the morning.

Out of interest - did you have a growth scan and was it 'accurate (ish!!)'?!?!?

X-post Mrs Hoolie! Just shows that they are not all accurate but was hoping the other way round - eekkkkk!
