I went to the GP today for a MW check up (the MW was not there as usual).
My BP was ok but there was a trace + of protein in my urine GP was concerned about the dizzy spells I've been having said it was likely to do with my age, late pregnancy and baby's position.
Then he measured me and said I was measuring about 38 weeks Then asked if OH was big (yes he's 6' 3"). He said in that case I probably have a very big baby.
I don't usually worry about these things as I know the measurements aren't 100% accurate but ---- 38 weeks??! I'm only 31 weeks! I'm now looking to the scan next week to see how much LO has grown and if the GP is right.
GP has signed me off work for 2 weeks rest. I'm quite relieved to be honest but I'm wondering where the rest will be..... coz here's my schedule for the next week:
Tomorrow I have to go back to GP with another sample of urine for analysis.
On Thursday I'm at the hospital having an ECG ambulatory trace set up. (Basically I have to have my heartbeat monitored for 24 hours as they are trying to investigate the dizzy spells and think it might be something to do with baby laying on the veins causing irregular heartbeat ???)
Friday I have to go back to hospital to have the ECG monitors removed.
Saturday we have a 4D scan booked I'm looking forward to that!
Tuesday I'm back at the hospital having another routine baby growth scan.
Wednesday I'm back at the surgery to have my BP checked.
When do I get to rest?!
I'm almost convinced I'm going to have a c-section now coz of these problems. I'd be quite happy with that and if they can deliver LO a little early at least it'd mean an end to the dizzy spells and constant visits to GP/hospital.
