Hi,
Just looking for a bit of reassurance really. I’m 28+3 weeks with my first and had my first measure with the midwife. I was below the bottom line on the chart so she’s referred for a growth scan which is booked for Monday. I know its very common and I know its nearly always fine but I really can’t help but be worried. I’ve had hyperemesis and am still taking cyclizine and ondansatron up to 4 times a day (2 each) to manage that and I have an anterior placenta so although I do feel movements, I don’t actually feel that much compared to what other women describe by this stage and its really hard to tell whats too little.
My GP mentioned in passing a few weeks ago that he thought I looked very small for the stage (26 weeks at the time) at a medication review but it was more just a general comment and he didn’t recommend anything else do I tried to ignore it but now I’m worried.
Also, I weighed myself the other day and I’ve put on 3 stone! Which just seems ridiculous because I honestly don’t know where this 3 stone is suppose to have gone exactly as I do (obviously) have a small bump and I don’t feel particularly big compared to normal everywhere else except for my boobs. I’m just feeling like everything's not quite right really and was wondering if others, especially those medicated for hyperemesis, have had similar issues with growth as I can’t help but feel worried.
Thank you
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone.
