It was just to check the fluid and the placenta... fluid is about the same as Friday and the placenta is functioning at 100% so that's great news
Also the doctor I saw today said not to worry about the growth just yet, that is more important after 28 weeks.
Have to see my Consultant on Wednesday so I will know more then.
Thanks to all you girls for keeping my spirits up and thinking of us
ETA... JP couldn't come with me today because of having too much time off work so my Mum came and saw her little grandaughter for the first time she loved it

*Update*
Thought I would add that we saw my Consultant today. We have to have weekly scans up untill she is born to check growth/fluid/placenta and blood tests/swabs every week to check for infection.
She seemed quite positive (we had been told to expect the opposite by another midwife ) and said that we were doing really really well to have got this far as 90% of premature membrane rupture cases go into labour within 2 weeks.
She did say that we wouldn't go to full term, but that every day she is still inside she is getting stronger. I told the Consultant that she wouldn't be coming before 36 weeks
She also said that there is a margin for error on scan measurements this early on, so not to worry about Elliebumps size but that she will keep an eye on it. She also said that it is likely that I will have a normal birth as the placenta will no doubt have moved.
Thanks for all your lovely words
