I've mentioned on other posts that my bump is barely there (most people don't realise I'm preg) and my fundal height is measuring around 5weeks behind. I had a growth scan at 25weeks which showed bubs was small but not too small. My fundal height has hardly grown at all since then and MWs were really concerned I had growth restriction or something and had talked about early induction etc. I've also had three traces and they kept making me repeat them which frightened me too! I had a follow up scan today (30 weeks) and bubs is still small but is still growing steadily along the same line from the last scan. I also have normal fluid levels so it looks like I am just having a small but perfectly healthy baby. Baby was pulling her toes on the scan - amazing!
They wouldn't give me measurements or an estimated birth weight but gave me a quick look at the graph which showed baby around the 25th-30th centile I think (I could only get a peek for a sec) which I've googled and seems to be around 6lb 8 at birth!! I'm pretty happy with that as I was only 6lb2 or something and I'm still petite so I guess that's normal for me.
Back in 4 weeks for a re-scan but the consultant doesn't think I will need to see him again after this so I'm happy happy happy today.
I also start maternity leave on the 30th of this month so the countdown can start! Yay
Still get freaked out about movements as some days can be very quiet but they've written down I have an anterior placenta so I guess that's something to do with it.
EDIT - forgot to mention that my blood pressure and urine have been absolutely fine the past few appointments after a pre-eclampsia scare where I got signed off!!! Just can chill out for the next 10 weeks!
