Consultant lead care

[R9chel]

Hi,

I have my scan next week with a consultant. I have a BMI of 36. What will happen at the appointment? I'm so nervous ..... x

Same here my bmi was 36. I had a scan today unfortunately baby was too active to get measurements so back for another scan on Wednesday.

I have my consultants apt on Tuesday, I don't think he will be giving me a scan, its more for him to monitor my pregnancy (I also have had cervical issues in the past). My midwife said its more procedure, just need a little more monitoring as potentially could have a bigger baby and pregnancy complications.

I wouldn't worry too much they just have to go through certain things with you to show they are doing extra monitoring x

I'm having consultant led care as well, but for a different reason. I've got my first appointment on 2nd July, I'm seeing the consultant and then a scan. I'm not sure exactly what they will do. Good luck tho I'm sure it will be fine. X

Im consultant led too due to high bmi. I was with my last pregnancy and i had appointments with consultant just to keep an eye on me. and had a few growth scans...I feel like cos you have a high bmi they assume you will get gest diabetes ect. My last pregnancy was fine. No gest diabetes, a little high blood pressure towards end and normal labour (induced) baby was 7lb14oz. hope all goes well this time too. x
