We had a growth scan at 30+2 and our litle dude was weighing 4lb 5oz and above the 90th centile, so the obviously wanted to follow this up. So today we have been for the scan and is weighing 6lb 9oz! He is still above the 90th centile. My blood pressure was high on two out of the three readings and had trace of protein in my waters, so have got to have it checked out friday again by my MW. I am wondering though that maybe my blood pressure was high because i was so anxious about the appointment. My BP as been fine everytime its been checked whilst pregnant but i have had traces of protein, in i think, all of my water tests - i have had 5/6 water infections throughout too!
Now, they have booked me back in for 3 weeks time when i am 2 days short of 38 weeks for another growth scan and the consultant mentioned about giving me a sweep that day and booking me in for an induction at 40+1 weeks if the sweep doesnt work. This also depends on this other growth scan, so if he is still growing at the rte he is then this is their plan. If any different, then they will re-look at th situation and go from there. Obviously my cervix needs to be ripe doesnt it for any chance of the sweep working? So all in all, kind of still in limbo but i am so pleased they havent just shrugged me off and that they are still going to monitor me. He is still head down but not engaged yet. He has been head down for at least 3 weeks now so hopefully he will start to engage soon! xx
