Hi all!
Haven't been on here in a couple of weeks - been so busy!
Finally handed in my dissertation a week ago - such a fantastic feeling and a big weight off my shoulders! Just a couple of essays and an exam, and that's it for uni! We've almost finished painting the nursery too so thats good. We've also had visitors, and been away ourselves for a few days, so its been non-stop really.
The only problem has been with my 31 week appt yesterday
At 28 weeks, I measured 27cm, but yesterday, I'm still measuring 27cm? Ive also been getting pains on and off in my tummy for the last couple of weeks, and last night, I woke up twice with pain. The mw said that I've got to keep an eye on movements, but she's leaving me until next appt (34 weeks) and if no improvement, I'll need scanning then. She did speak about Intrauterine Growth Restriction and the possibility of my placenta not working properly, so she's told me I have to be careful what I do exercise-wise and what I eat. I know I should probably trust the mw, but I can't shake the feeling that something's wrong. If there wasn't the pain, I don't think I'd be so worried?
Sorry for the long post, just feeling a bit worried - has anyone been through something similar?

so try not to worry to much (i know its hard) i got told its quite hard to get a proper measurment using the measuring tape and maybe baby is just hiding in at the back, my stomach goes almost flat when im lying down
. One essay to go for me. Don't know what to say about the growth thing, just try not to stress too much about it. My baby's bigger than he should be so I'm the opposite and hoping he hasn't grown much by next week! Naughty baby's!
