So I was sent to labour ward today for monitoring of reduced movements (30weeks) monikered 3 minutes into monitoring baby moved! All monitoring was perfect!
Reg asked me if I had growth scans booked , which I don't .
I had them in my previous pregnancies due to having oc, however I'm still undiagnosed in this pregnancy even thou I continue to itch!
She said she would class me as oc even though bloods don't match as it's 90% chance to get again, and would look to see if I meet any risk factors so I can have growth scans.
Midwife has just come and said they have booked me for scans (first within 72hoirs) on the fact I was a previous smoker!?
I haven't questioned this as to be honest I'm glad of the extra monitoring as I worry due to not having my diagnosis yet! But I've never heard of this? Because I used to smoke?? Anyone any experiences in having scans because you used to smoke?

I think the guidelines have changed alot this past year as this time I've got to have flu jab and whooping cough but never had to in last pregnancy xx
