Sherple - Thanks so much for a possitive experience! It is nice to hear that it can be possible, I guess when you're looking into having a baby which is big you only really see bad stories and I have to try and remember it is possible!
Lallie - Hi! I do hope you get the birth you want and don't need a section! Please keep us updated, I'd love to know how you get on. Thanks for your measurements! Its interesting to see what some babies measure
At a private scan at 29w5d my wee man was:
Head circumference - 27.99cm (30w5d)
Femur length - 6.55cm (34w3d)
Abdominal circumference - 28.95cm (33w)
Weight - 4lbs14oz (33w1d)
I haven't put on much weight (well last time I checked ) I lost half a stone at the start and put it back on by around 20 weeks and have put on another half stone last time I checked a few weeks ago. But I can imagine I will put lots on the next few weeks!
Mizzy - Sorry your appt was bad I do believe they dont care sometimes and just see us as a number. They may be understaffed and have lots of people to see but they need to make sure they do things right, its our health! I don't see why they panic about the size of gestational diabetes and not that of women without it? I understand GD means baby could be big and harder to come out but what about babies the same size but without GD? makes no sense to me. I'm not sure about my percentiles but I know my measurements from my private scan above will be well over average!
