Feeling scared and anxious and need some help, I have a feeling I'm being made to worry myself sick for nothing so just wondering if others have had a similar experience or have medical knowledge in this area...
Currently 29 weeks, all has been good so far but am scared as I had a loss at 25 weeks last year due to placental insufficiency and suffering a dvt
Went for a scan today, I'm under consultant care due to the above. Consultant was a doctor I hadn't met before and I wasn't keen on her manner, while she wasn't rude her people skills weren't exactly top notch
When she was carrying out my scan she said straight away 'oh I probably won't be able to get accurate measurements of the head due to baby being in an oblique position'. I thought right OK, fair enough. However, she noted the measurement on my growth chart as shown, leading me to believe my baby has now dropped down the centiles
I'm now in a right panic, she wrote in my notes that femur length and abdominal circumference were both measuring at 29 weeks + but she has put head circumference down as 28 weeks and noted that the measurement was 'difficult due to baby's position'. Thought she couldn't get an accurate measurement?
Should she really be recording this if she's not even sure it's correct and therefore maybe causing me all this stress for nothing? I've been told to come back in 2 weeks to 'recheck growth' but it will be a very anxious time. Any advice?
