Hi all. I’m nearly 33 weeks pregnant and I’m consultant led due to pre-eclampsia in my previous pregnancy and then requiring blood transfusions.
I had a growth scan at 28, 30 and 32 weeks because baby’s abdominal circumference is dropping down the centiles despite the other measurements remaining consistent. I have yet another growth scan at 34 weeks and if growth is still tailing off then I’m being referred to fetal medicine. Baby is also breech and has been since 25 weeks. Both the sonographer and my midwife has said that they think it’s unlikely they’re going to turn head down as they’re in a “very awkward position” and I have slightly low fluid too so that will also make it harder for them to flip around.
I have asked the consultant at the last two appointments what could happen and I’m just told “let’s take it one appointment at a time” which I understand but I’m also really anxious and want to know if it’s likely baby will make an early arrival. Do you think they’ll induce me early (or c section if still breech)? I’m not due on maternity leave until 38 weeks and ideally would like some time to prepare, relax and spend time with my DS before baby arrives. I know it’s probably an impossible question but does it sound like they’ll get baby out early?
