So yesterday I had a growth scan to make sure lil Roo was growing well, because I have a high bmi they are worried he is going to get too big! But he is still proving them wrong and measuring on target my lil man is currently weighing at 5lb 6oz, which is apparently just below average, he also has short legs lol
At my follow up consultant appointment today I was told everything is coming up normal, growth scans, GTT, BP and urine all fine. So I asked him if I could go on the midwife led ward at our hospital rather than the consultant led ward. AND he said YES he said it was up to me but to be aware that there are risks involved with being overweight in labour, but because the wards are only down the corridor from each other if anything arises I can be easily moved!
I am just so happy that I could actually have my water birth that I wanted I know that if I have to be induced or if anything changes between now an then tha I could still end up on the consultant ward, but knowing I have the choice to labour naturally has cheered me up no end xxx
