growth scan and heartbeat.

[lisanat]

Hi everyone,

thank you for your help with the growth scan question last week you really helped me put my mind at ease. I had a bit of a worrying day yesterday and went to the labour ward in the morning as baby has been quiet. They put me on a trace and guess what the monkey started going mad!!!! Anyway because I am under a consultant I had to wait for a doctor to come and see me. When they realised that my consoltant had measured me 28 weeks last weeks (even though I had been measuring bigger for the last few weeks by midwife) they decided to scan me yesterday.

Well... guess what baby isnt small and is a very good size. They estimate it to be 6 pounds already!!!!

As the trace and scan were both fine, I came home . and went to see my midwife this morning, where when she did the hearrtbeat it sounded like it was missing a beat. She said that she would like me to go to the day unit to have another trace done.Yet when she rang they said the new guidelines say that dont do a trace as if I have drunk caffine drinks that can cause it to do that.i suppose I have drunk a bit more coke than usual.But should I be worried? Surely it would have shown up on the trace if there was anything there?

Are they saying if you have drunk a caffeine drink at any point through pregnancy or just that day??

How about getting mw to check in a day or 2 and not having any coke?
