Consultant Led Pregnancy

I’m 28w + 3d and am consultant led purely for BMI only. I had a growth scan yesterday and baby is measuring fine, spot on for everything.

Anyone else been consultant led for just BMI and no other factors? Can you give your experiences?

This is our third baby.

Hi there I am only 12 weeks but wanted to let you know I’m in the same boat. Good luck to you and your baby 👶

Yes I am and currently 37+5. I’m only under consultant for BMI and as everything else has come back low risk I still haven’t actually met my consultant. Had a growth scan a few weeks ok and baby is growing exactly as she should be so my consultant appointment was cancelled and I had a five minute phone call instead. Have a second growth scan on Monday and my first consultant appointment then to discuss birth. From conversations so far they’re happy for me to wait for labour to begin naturally now unless she’s had a big growth spurt in the last few weeks.

You too :)

I haven’t seen anyone aside from the sonographer since my booking in appointment so was just wondering really.

Thank you :) That sounds exactly the same as me.

Christmas and a holiday in Feb took me 1lb over the BMI threshold 😫

I'm consultant led for BMI have not seen my consultant once , I have one app on 26th and I will be nearly 30 weeks. I have been told I won't be allowed growth scans due to covid , as they're only scanning people who are 45 BMI, my BMI is 44.7. I have asked for the consultant to take that into account and I've been they'll consider it 😔

I'm consultant led purely for the fact I changed hospitals! Baby is completely fine and perfectly normal pregnancy x
