I went to the GP yesterday.
I have now been signed off until I start maternity leave at 36 weeks with my hyperemesis. But while I was there she checked my tummy and stuff which she doesn't usually do. She said I seemed quite small and asked if the midwives had recommended I have a growth scan. I told her that they hadn't as they never seem to pay much attention when I mention my sickness. She told me to ask next time I see them if they'll give me a growth scan.
I'm worrying now that he's not growing. I know fundal height isn't that accurate, but his growth does seem to have slowed. At 25+1 I was measuring 1 week ahead at 26cm. At 28+1 I was 27cm, so only grew 1cm in 3 weeks exactly, rather than the expected 3.
I don't have a midwife appointment until 31+1 now though xx
