Small Baby, dropping centiles

[Tigger87]

That sounds really positive for you kanga! I hope baby does what he needs to over the next few weeks. It's always a massive plus when the midwives are so supportive of you xxx

Good luck kanga!

I remember you from 2011 (although I didn't get to post outside of TTC for a long time) and wish you all the best for a healthy birth xx

Another small update. I'm now 35+4 and had another growth scan this morning after my 2nd lot of reduced movements in a week. He is measuring in at 4lb 11oz and following the same growth line of around the 6th centile. I have pretty much written off a homebirth in favour of the hospital as I feel the risks of him being small and away from medical help if needed too great and I am happy with my decision. Next growth scan at 37+4 weeks and the doctors will discuss further plans then depending on his growth. Which currently they are happy with xx

Thats good news that they are happy with his growth. Shame about the home birth but as you say its better for him to be at hospital should he need any help. Could you have a water birth at the hospital?xx

They have said even if I'm induced I could still use the pool on labour ward with wireless monitoring so that is something. Will just have to see how things go xx
