Hi ladies, thanks for reading I'm worried about my fundal height and don't know if I should just relax or push for an earlier growth scan. I had a midwife appointment yesterday at exactly 36 weeks. Everything seemed fine except my fundal height was only 31cm, the same as it was at my 34 week appointment AND my 30 week appointment. It hasn't grown for 6 weeks!
My midwife said she wants to book a growth ultrasound to see what's going on, but it looks like I might have to wait until late next week. My fault - I have to travel 2.5 hours to the city so they try to set up all my appointments for the same day, but next week has a public holiday on Wednesday so they're talking about Thursday.
Is that too long to wait? I don't know if I can mentally wait that long. I know 2cm either way is normal but 5 cm seems like a big deal. I would never forgive myself for not being more pushy if something was wrong and I waited too long. But I also know that I may be a bit paranoid and over thinking everything. What would you do???
