Just had a growth scan followed by an appointment with a consultant, the scan was because I had quite a lot of bleeding earlier in the pregnancy so having 1 scan today, 1 at 32 weeks and then again at 36 weeks. Sonographer was lovely and said baby is absolutely as it should be, measuring fine and is not a 'whopper'. Then went upstairs in hospital to see consultant, first went in with MW (not my MW though) she did all checks on BP and stuff then went to get the doc.
I could see the doc I saw last time on the corridor but a different doc came in and started going through the notes of my last labour etc and asking me questions all about the birth I want this time around etc- the thing is I went through all this 6 weeks ago with the 1st doc, the appointment today was to go through the results of the growth scan. I did tell him I had a scan this morning but he still carried on and then when he had finished I said what about my next scan then at 32 weeks? and he was like 'what scan' so i had to explain again that i had had a scan this morning and was having growth scans at 32 and 36 weeks too - he just wasn't listening to me at all! then he had a look at the scan report and told me it is going to be a big baby! WTF?! so told 2 diff things in one morning, I think am just gonna have to wait for next apt and hopefully get to see my MW and the other consultant for some straight answers - but how are you supposed to have any faith in the medical profession when you get told different things by them all?! You read about so many people on here and in mags and stuff being told the wrong thing, or different things - what are we supposed to believe?! SO have come away feeling a bit cross and not really knowing anything more than I did when I got up this morning! grrrrrrrrrrr - sorry for long rant, just needed to get it off my chest!
