I went to see my MW again today (remember how reception messed up my booking appt and I had to come back again!!?)
Anyway - all is fine and I had bloods taken etc.
I was just wondering if anyone can help me out with a quick question. MW was filling in form about prev pregnancies and asked the birthweight of my DD.
She was 6lbs 8oz which I thought was pretty normal. Noone said anything to me about her being small when she was born. (3 1/2 years ago)
However, MW 'warned' me that I may have further scans after 20 weeks to measure the growth of the baby as if it is similar to prev pregnancy then this would be considered below average and they like to keep a closer eye on development.
Has this happened to anyone else? Or is this just something that 'may' happen? Are growth scans common?
She mentioned something about 28,32 and 34 weeks scanning.
Or am I imagining the whole thing? I must admit I sort of zoned out after a while.
Please help so I can regain my sanity!!
