32 week scan today - mixed results

[wishuponastar]

So I had my scan today to check my placenta, and it's moved up so not a problem anymore, which is great. BUT...

The baby's abdomen is measuring off the chart for the normal range, far too big. They said that it's a concern and so have referred me for an urgent consultant appointment tomorrow morning. They said that a reason could be gestational diabetes but that it's unlikely for me because my bloods and urine have all been normal. They said that the cause might be due to a problem with the baby, like Cystic Fibrosis, Downs or a blockage of something. Apparently, they're estimating the baby weighs 6 1/2 lb already!!! Has anyone had this and the baby has been fine and they were just completely wrong? I'm worried.

Also baby has moved again and is breech. They said that if she stays big I'll have to be induced early, which gives her less time to turn round.

I just wanted the appointment to tell me everything is ok

Oh hun what a worry!! My friend was told her baby had all sorts of problems and maybe had downs - she had a caesarian and baby was about 10lbs (give or take an oz - can't remember exactly)! The important thing is baby was fine and is now a very healthy, normal, active toddle. Really hope things are ok for you both!

Hope eveything goes well - it seems like they like to give you the worst-case scenario all the time, which can cause unecessary worry....
Fingers crossed for both of you xxxxxx
