Hey.. similar situation. I've had 6 eps of RM. Baby was having such a good active 4 weeks and then went absolutely silent yest so i went in for monitoring again. I'm 37+5 today too. They sent me home yesterday as they were happy with everything but I too have a scan for Friday. That scan was already booked anyhow due to prev eps of RM and slightly slowed growth. Because of last nights ep its now for growth and to check the normal blood flow, fluid etc. What they said to me when they booked scan in originally was that if baby hadn't grown much by Fridays scan then I'll be induced. They said same last night that depending on what scan is showing growth then they'll make a decision on induction so it could be the same for you. How is babys movements today? It's so worrying isn't it by this stage x

They haven't mentioned anything about inducing to me which I seem really surprised about? Baby is growing very well above the 95 scan. But since I've been home baby is really active im just worried feel on edge all the time! What about you are you ok xx

Maybe there's no need for induction for you then if they're happy with growth. It's good that you're feeling baby now and that you've got a scan booked in. It's pretty routine after RM to have a scan so try to focus on the fact that you'll get to see baby again before they're here. If there were any concerns at the scan they'd surely talk about delivery options with you. It's just worrying when you don't know what's what isnt it. If you find yourself getting overly anxious to the point it's really affecting everything though then call your midwife and let her know your worries. They will have heard it all before and won't judge you. I've felt instantly at ease just being around them sometimes. I'm ok thank you x

Thank you so much, I just felt silly saying something to my midwife she might think I'm being stupid but I just everything to be ok and you hear some many horrible things that have happened that sometimes make you feel ten times worse xx
