had consultants appointment

[helsekia]

I went for my consultants appointment today.they prodded and poked and decided yes baby is (quote) 'a bit on the large size!'

I have to go back next thursday and have a growth scan,then see the consultant straight after.They will almost certainly do a diabetes test and then take it from there.

My bmi has gone up rather a lot to 40 so at 34 weeks i have to see the anaesthetist.

dpending on the results from the scan they may decide to induce me early.my daughter was 8lb 1 and a half so they say I will be ok up to 9lbs birthweight.If baby is arond 9lbs they will just monitor but if hes nearer 10lbs then they may suggest inducement or caesarian.


keep your fingers crossed

Aww i just sent you a pm to say Good luck but you have already been.

Good luck with the scan next week at least you get to see Max again.

There seems to be a lot of you having large babies at the mo there must be something in the water.

 

[helsekia]

aww thanks.

yes the extra scan is a good thing Im quite looking forward to that bit and of course ill be checking for little boys bits just in case

not sure I fancy pushing a bigggg baby out but guess hes gotta come out somehow and i dont fancy caesarian either. st hope he holds on til after kiaras birthday on 26th march!

hows everyone else?

I hope the growth scan goes ok, it is quite tricky for anyone to tell how large a baby really is without the scan. I am keeping my fingers crossed for a good result for you

You said in the very beginning all those weeks ago that you would be early now its looking like you were right. Hopefully only a few weeks or so then it wont clash with Kiaras b day too much.

If they do induce you did they give you a time in when they are thinking with you being 29 weeks now
