Hospital tomorrow.

[kellie80]

Got an appointment tomorrow to check the babies growth at the hospital. What should i expect? Do you usually get a scan or what? I haven't a clue.

 

[Londoner Claire]

Never had one that late, have you had problems?

 

[mary70]

yes you should get a groth scan hun but may not talk to anyone i was having them weekly from 30 weeks but just had the scan and went home they phoned if they needed me

 

[Sarah&Braydon]

hope everything goes ok hun

 

[Fiona]

I also have a booking for 34 weeks for a growth scan... I'm really looking forward so seeing my baby again...

mine is booked because I am 40 and expecting my first baby........

good luck... hope you enjoy it

 

[Vicki83]

Good luck for tomorrow, just think you get to have another sneaky peak at bubbs! You lucky thing you!

 

[Lyndsey]

Depends on the hospital policy - I was sent in by my community mw for a growth scan as she was concerned I was having a big baby and the hospital wouldn't do it.

They said there was a 15% error margin ad they wouldn't do anything even if it was big. I would only know if I would manage a big baby with what they call "trial of delivery"

Although I do know of others on here who have had regular scans!!

 

[kellie80]

I have to go in because my bmi is 36, don't know why really cos i don't know any one else whos had to go in, also i didn't have to when i was having Aimee and i was the exact same weight them. Aimee was quite a big baby and this one is measuring a few weeks ahead of what he should be so i don't mind going in.

 

[Lyndsey]

yeah I was initially refered becasue of an increased BMI - they say your more at risk for diabetes and BP issues.... but if this is your second and you had no probs previous then there should be no problems...

I have found the consultants at my hopsital to be a total waste of space... and I would have been better off listening to my MW....

Good luck for your appointment though I hope it goes well for you.

 

[kellie80]

Well this is my 3rd pregnancy and i've never had any problems in the past so i'am a bit confused. Oh well i'll find out in a couple of hours.

 

[Melly+2]

good luck hun xx

 

[Jaidy]

Best of luck Kellie, hope it all becomes clear for you

 

[kellie80]

Well i never got a scan I got moaned at cos there was hardly anything written in my notes till i explained i had only had 3 mw appointments up to now and that i hadn't missed any) Anyway she said baby feels a normal size, phew! I'm measuring 36 so thats ok. Good news is hes head down now, well down she said. No wonder i anyways need the toilet! Not got to go back now till 1st of Feb when i'll be over due so hopefully he'll be here by then.

 

[Vicki83]

You've only saw your MW 3 times??

 

[Jaidy]

Sorry you didnt get a scan hun, but at least all is well!

Wont be long before you see your LO anyway now

 

[kellie80]

You've only saw your MW 3 times??

Yeah, once at 10 weeks, once at 16 weeks and again at 28 weeks and i'm not due to see her again till 6th of Jan. I do feel neglected!

 

[Vicki83]

That's blooming well shocking, no wonder you're feeling negelected hun!

 

[Sarah&Braydon]

omg that is disgraceful

 

[Lyndsey]

Glad things went well with your consultant and sorry you didn't get a scan...

I know that my MW has said that if you are on your second or third baby they " leave you to it!" but I still think this is shocking - so much can change in such a short period of time - even if you have had 3 pregnancies not all are the same!!!

 

[Londoner Claire]

You don't see them so much when it's not your first I was told. Only seen mine once, seeing her again at 24 weeks then hospital at 28, not sure after that.
