I had a growth scan at 28 weeks where they checked his head and abdominal circumferences and then femur length which were then plotted on a growth chart. The measurements came out as baby sitting above the 90% the percentile. Me and DH were surprised as our measurements from the 20 week scan had all been around the 50th percentile but we were just glad he was growing.
I saw my midwife today for a routine appointment (just over 29 weeks pregnant) and she was feeling my abdomen, saying I was "hard all over" and that it certainly wasn't going to be a big baby or a 'chunky monkey'. She had not seen my growth scan results at this point so was just passing comment based on her own opinions. I asked if she thought I had a small bump then and she said it certainly isn't big by any stretch of the imagination.
After she had finished with me I then told her about the growth scan I'd just had at the hospital and what those readings had shown and she seemed quite perplexed. She was comparing the plotted growth scan chart that the hospital had to the one that she was using in my Maternity notes and there is a big difference in their results.
She told me not to worry and just sort of shrugged it off. She told me that she had no concerns and so not to focus on it as baby seemed fine. I was happy with that as I have no worries about the baby, but has anyone else been in this position??
