Well I had my growth scan today at 37 weeks (I was referred at the begining of the PG as I am am on tablets for high BP, although I haven't had high BP throughout the pregnancy) and when I asked how it had gone the MW said everything looked fine: baby was in the correct position, the aminio fluid levels were fine and everything looked normal.
However, when I saw the consultant afterwards he said it was inconclusive - what the heck does that mean?? He wants me to have another scan in 2 weeks time (39 weeks) to make sure everything is OK??? Whan I asked if he wanted to do this because he thought the baby was too big or too small, that was when he said it was inconclusive. I am now really worried that he thinks something's wrong and he's not telling me.
Later, when I looked at my notes, they haven't put the form in like they did at the 32 wk growth scan so I can't make any comparisons between the two scans. However, when I look at what he's written in my notes he's put the fetal length in at 41cm for 37 weeks - so that must be what he is concerned about - why couldn't he just tell me that! Also, I was just measured at my mw appt on Thursday and she measured me at 36cms for 37 weeks (which is what I have been all the way through, i.e.. -1cm). So how come in 6 days I've leapt 5 cms?? Impossible - he must have measured me incorrectly.
On the plus side, the consultant has said that I will be induced on my due date if the baby hasn't come before then and I'm pleased about that, but he has worried the hell out of me in the process!!
Sorry about the length of this - I needed the rant!
