Sorry for the long winded explanation but, Im 37 weeks and went for a presentation scan today and thankfully seen baby is head down, however the staff member measuring my bump checked it as 40cm, which puts me at 3 weeks ahead and a massive jump from my own midwife's measurements on Friday of 36.5. my own midwife has said each time my measurements are within normal range. Now the measurement this morning has led to me being sent for a diabetes test (previously had a negative result at 28 weeks) and no mention of a growth scan? I know the fundal measurements can be very inaccurate between different staff members but surely a jump so large would trigger a growth scan referral? I've to go for a diabetes test Friday, results won't be back until 38 weeks 3 days, a bit late for much to be done I'd have thought?
Anyone have any similar experience? Previously all checks were fine so now I've gone in to overthinking mode and worried baby will be massive, so close to due date isn't ideal!!
