Bum i threw my list away!

i looked it up on the web - think i googled pregnancy scan/notes
abbreviations or something

you're right on the hc & ac ones - FL is femur (thigh bone? i think.

one meant ear to ear (not circumfrance though) and i think one was crown to rump? cant remeber which though sorry! there was one - i think it was TAD i never worked out!

sorry - wish i'd kept it now!

Thats ok EM78.

My little un was measured at 28+1 and was approx 1075g (2lb 4oz), she was measured again yesterday at 30+1 and she is approx 1300g (2lb 9oz) is this too small??

BTW pre pregnancy Im 5ft 1 1/2" and about 7st 6, daddy is 5ft 10 and about 13 stone if that makes a difference?

i think you are at the point where they will really start to increase their weight in a big way.

according to Miriam Stoppards book she says in the up to 26 weeks section: by the end of this month baby will weigh just under 2 lb. then in the up to 30 weeks section it says baby will weigh approx 3lbs.

sounds like you are about right to me! keeping in mind you are fairly small (no offence at all intended i'm only 5'2! just weighed a lot more then you pre preggy! was 7st when i got married 6 years ago and 10st 3 pre preg!!!)
remember these are only averages and babies all have growth spurts at different times. between now and 34/35 weeks your bubs will almost double in weight.

take care!

Thanks Em78, I just seem to worry about everything. :!:

I've asked on a student midwives website to see if they can tell me. xx
