Just a bit of a rant really. I have low Papp-a so from the get-go this pregnancy has caused me a bit of anxiety. Overall probably had about 10 scan and he's looked great at every single one granted a bit small, but good. Induction planned at 40 weeks and sweeps were scheduled 38,39 weeks to get him to come naturally. Everything felt well organised!
Anyway roll on 35 weeks, I go into MAU for extreme itching. that was nothing to be concerned about as bloods were clear. But as they hooked me onto monitor to check on baby as well, they said they'd book my 36 week scan a bit earlier just to check his growth.
Well, his growth has dropped🤦🏻♀️ 28 weeks was on the 10th centile, jumped up to the 30th centile at 32 weeks and then at 35 weeks back down to the 10th centile. He's only 4lb 7oz. Have to be scanned again at 37 weeks and a delivery plan will be made. I'm hoping induction a little bit earlier as it sounds like he's better out than in.
However, it's just causing me really bad anxiety. I'm over analysing every movement, the size of my stomach and I'm getting really stressed because I might have to be induced days after my next scan (which is fine but it's the unknown for the next week and a half). It's just because I'm an organisation freak, so not knowing what's going on is really causing me to feel upset. Anyway, it was just a rant to get it off my chest 😩
