Hi. I’m pregnant with my 3rd DS.
DS1 7lb7
DS2 6lb9
Each pregnancy I’ve measured smaller than I should. Eg. 37 weeks I’m measuring 33cm. (Should be the same cm to weeks so I am told)
Community MW’s didn’t seem that fussed because of my past pregnancies. I was sent by the GP for a growth scan for DS2 which was fine and all within range.
I was sent this time around at 32w again by GP the sonographer said, ‘did the GP send you?’ All measurements were in the range and he wasn’t at all concerned.
Bit of context. I have been sick for a week and couldn’t keep food down. Better now. Whilst ill I had to go to the assessment unit and the midwives there seemed to act surprised that I wouldn’t have another scan and said surely there is a plan in place. I went to my 38w check with the GP and he was surprised by my measurements but the results of the growth scan comforted him. I was very relaxed about the size explaining my past DS’s.
But now I’m thinking am I being too laid back? Should I be more concerned? 38 weeks feels like I’m nearly at the end, although I have gone over 40weeks with each. What could they do now? Am I overlooking serious harm to my baby. What would you do?
