Growth scan today, in 3 hours!! UPDATE IN 1ST POST!!!

loving_life · Mar 23rd, 2012, 03:11 AM

Pointless thread but I'm excited! As the title says,
I have my 28 week growth scan today at 11:15am. I am actually really excited to see my baby girl again!

Hoping it goes good and they tell me she is growing perfectly.

The only bad thing about today is that I have to have blood tests done today too and I HATE needles lol. I shall be putting on my numbing cream though so should be ok.

I can't wait!

Hey ladies, so my growth scan was good. I saw her lady bits and the tech confirmed she is STILL a little girl!!

She is measuring absolutely perfect, right on target.

HOWEVER, I am underweight, always have been, not through choice, I'm one of those that can eat whatever I want and never excersise and NOT put on weight.

My weight gain through this pregnancy is actually non-exsistant. I have actually lost weight so I had a big chat with 2 midwifes and as I eat normally, all they can suggest is vitamin tablets and eat more. Easier said that done, if you're not hungry then you're not gonna eat are you! Plus food is expensive lol.
So, I'll try but doubt it will work. I will be going back for another growth scan but not sure when yet. I'm just happy that my baby girl is growing fine

Enjoy seeing your baby! I don't mind needles, but don't like to see them go in, so I just look away at that point. Sometimes distraction is the best medicine!!

Good luck, hun! It will go well. I have grown to not be afraid of needles in this pregnancy. LoL!

Good luck with your scan!!
