Hello All!
So, I went to my first OB appointment yesterday and the only thing they said was that my bloods etc were fine but I would need extra scans at 28 and 34 weeks to measure my baby and "make sure it was growing" because my high BMI would make abdominal measuring difficult/inaccurate.
Is this true? Does anyone else have experience of this. Certainly, if the baby is growing, I will grow??? I admit I love seeing the baby on the screen and seeing that all is okay in there but am truly hesitant to have extra scans which are not essential
(have had an early scan, dating scan and am scheduled for an anomaly scan - so that's already one scan more than I would like!)
Feel a bit confused as what would be best to do... any thoughts appreciated.
