Just got back from growth scan and consultant visit...

[Happybunny]

Everything was great!!
I was up worrying last night, I was convinced I had GD and that the baby would be far too big. But baby is great, just a few days ahead of average size. He/she was very cute during the scan and kept hiding their face.
Baby is also in the right position!!! Just hope he stays that way!!!
All the things I was worried about - GD, high blood pressure etc came back normal! I am very pleased about that.
I told them that the iron tablets didn't seem to be helping my palpitations and dizziness. I was really impressed, they took me seriously and did not fob me off. They sent me for an ECG today and I have an appointment with the Obstretic Cardiologist. I am really pleased because I am sure everything is ok and the palps are a normal side effect of anaemia and pregnancy, but having an expert tell me will really help my anxiety about it.
all in all, a good visit!!

Sounds good. Pleased to hear it all went well.

With regards to your palpitations and so on. I've been seeing a cardiologist since about 18 weeks for them and also for my heart murmur and other things. I have had ECG's done and also an echocardiogram on my heart.

They told me that everything was within normal parameters for my pregnancy and that up to 3 palpitations a minute was acceptable. Considering mine vary from very minor blips to full on everything stalls for 5 seconds or so, its sometimes a bit weird to work out how many I may be having inside of a minute but I've done ok so far. I'm sure you'll be fine and it'll all fall within a decent range for your pregnancy
