Hello,
At our 20 week scan back in Feb the baby's abdomen was measuring above the 95th percentile so we were advised we'd be booked in for a further scan at 36w to see if baby continued to measure large.
My midwife has measured my bump three times in the interim, most recently yesterday, and I am hovering just below the 90th percentile so technically speaking it's not a problem unless you hit that 90th percentile.
Midwife informed me that due to coronavirus the scan has been cancelled and changed to a telephone consultation with a consultant at the hospital instead.
I wondered therefore what questions I should be asking, should I be pushing for a scan (which did seem to be an option if I was so inclined), and any experiences of the above.
I understand it mostly relates to the size of the baby and any implications this may have on delivery.
I plan to ask the consultant
- Why it was felt necessary before but not now (any tips on phrasing that better are welcome
)
Difference in accuracy between measuring bump and a scan
- What interventions they would usually take/ recommend if baby is measuring big
- Success/ outcomes if intervention chosen in cases like this
Can anyone think of anything else or perhaps answer any of the above? And what would you do? Thanks so much
