Antenatal appointment

[Flame]

I went to mine today and they have moved the PAC downstairs with the other antenatal clinic. What a mess! we waited for an hour and a half for them to take my blood pressure which she had to do 3 times before it came down because i was so angry about waiting so long before we were acknowledged. Then we had to wait another hour for my growth scan even though we were told we were put at the top of the pile! was good though cause she said he is growing great and gave us a 3D or 4d whatever it is picture so worth the wait

They were really apologetic about the messing around after that and put us at the top of the queue to see the consultant and haemogoblin doctor who did the usual, looked through the notes said they were going to take the clexane down eventually and that was it. But! i remembered to ask me questions today which i still dont really have answers for

I have now decided that the QMC are useless and want to go to the
hospital i wanted to go to in the first place. I went there for a antenatal physio class today and they seem great


One more question. Does anyone have an estimated fetal weight on there scans for 29 weeks? what are they as mine seems bigger than i thought he would be at this stage.

sounds like a hard day Flame.

I had a est weight at 33+6 at 4.9 Lbs....I was told by the sonographer that they don't do them unless the doc requests them and they only usually do that if the baby is breeech as they are inaccurate anyway. She told me they can be as much as 2 Lbs out so wouldn't worry too much.

Mine is at 1736g which i think my oh worked out to be about 3lb 7. He isnt breech anymore i dont think so thats good.

Apparently my brother weighed a pound less than that when he was born at 32 weeks.

Is it too late to ask if you can switch from QMC? Or is it possible to just turn up at the other one when you go into labour?

The only mw to estimate the baby's weight for me is a friend who is a mw.......my actual mw has never estimated the weight, but she said its not procedure so don't worry about that hun

I am going to ask my midwife when i speak to her next if i remember but that wont be for another 5 weeks.

I'm not to worried about his weight really i just wondered if anyone elses was around the same.

Well we only get 2 scans here, 1 at 12 and 1 at 20weeks, so I won't be having a 29week scan, and have never been told LO's estimated birth weight, though I prolly wouldn't believe them anyway they seem to get it wrong so often according to mummies on here

I thought you could change hospitals etc at ANY time, surely you can birth your LO where you want to, I do hope you get it sorted out so you are happy, let us know how it goes

Best Wishes Flame
