Lovely nurseries girls :) I need to take some pics of mine - although its not as tidy as yours yet!!

Love the little mr and little ms...i havent seen them in years!! very original!!
 
Hi ladies x

My MW appointment was ok yesterday,
I may have a urine infection :( Find out my results tomorrow.
I checked my notes when I got home after the appointment and I read that my gestation centremeter measurement is 28 weeks :huh:
I'v always been spot on with measurements at every appointment. MW didnt say anything...
Should I be worried?? I get told that techinque isnt always accurate???
 
I wouldn't worry I don't think measurements are very accurate! I have been measuring 3cm over every-time till I went to the drop in centre and I measured bang on my week lol! I once had a student midwife and she got a totally different measurement by 4cm to my midwife lol!
 
Cant wait to see what the next appoint is like then, Maybe I can get a referral for an ultrasound. Probably not though lol
 
I wouldnt worry too much...I've usually been dead on and now I'm behind by a week...
 
Don't worry - my measurement for the last 2 appointments was exactly the same even though I'm sure my bump has grown! I think it depends on the person doing it and also baby's position. If they were worried they would have said something :hugs:
 
They barely take any notice of my measurements now, because of the extra fluid. I'm currently measuring 3 ahead but it has been as much as 5!

Had my appointment this morning and consultant isn't worried about the fluid. My gtt was clear and the baby is average size. He was a bit worried I might be hiding a huge baby :haha: As I'm not he is more worried about how uncomfortable I might be getting. Also found out I'm anaemic so he gave me a prescription for iron as he said the over the counter ones are rubbish lol! He still wants me in for stitch removal at 36 weeks, but he's not convinced I'll get to 40 weeks now and may induce me slightly early which will be mainly dependent on how I'm coping and how uncomfortable I get. So pretty good news really, he told me not to worry about the fluid and said to DH to remember his wellies for the birth :rofl:
 
Sharn, I agree with Rose, don't worry about it, they would have said something, I am sure, if they were concerned. Depending who does my measurements they don't typically even tell me what it is (and I don't get notes.)

AFM, I just wanted to update you on what has been going on with baby Emily and I. Starting around Christmas I have been getting, off and on, a lot of contractions and cramping... sometimes really painful and severe. I am being followed really closely anyway (for other reasons) and so they've been keeping an eye on things. My cervix has changed/shortened and changed quite a bit in the past week... it is slightly shorter then they like but still okay and closed on the outside (I think it is starting to open some on the inside.) They did a fetal fibronectin (sp?) test to predict how likely I am to deliver/go into full blow labor in the next two weeks and that was, thankfully, negative so the chances of her coming in two weeks or less are very slim. Because of everything that is going on my DH and I were thinking I needed to be done with work earlier then planned... my doctors fully supported that and so I quit my job early, on Monday and have become a stay at home Mommy earlier than planned. The doctors think just the lack of stress/being off my feet more will help her stay in longer. I feel a little guilty for leaving work this early, but my instincts/body have been trying to tell me something for awhile and I finally decided to listen. It's just hard for me to realize that I *am* home to take care of Emily now, just earlier and in a different way than I had thought... I had planned on working up until almost the end and then quitting.

At this point I am thinking/hoping that I have four-five more weeks of contractions/bad cramping but that she stays put! She is doing really really well, and other than the signs of preterm labor so am I.

I also found out, because of the issues I have been having, and being a high risk pregnancy, that they want to induce at 38 weeks... so we are going to meet her sooner then we realized either way!!! :happydance:
 
Babymaybe, that is GREAT news!!!! So glad you and baby are doing well, that the GTT test was negative and that things are okay!!!!
 
Hey Amy I know what it's like to be at risk of PTL, I've had ffn tests in the past too. Also have trouble with my cervix and as you know I have a stitch in there to keep it closed. I get a lot of braxton hicks, some more painful than others, mostly due to the stitch but more recently because of the extra fluid putting pressure on my uterus as well.

Good to hear that baby is doing well, none of my preterm labours have ever had any effect on my babies either, it's just a bit inconvenient for you have to go back and forth to the hospital to get monitored if you think somethings happening. Most of the time with me is wasn't and just braxton hicks, but better safe than sorry :)
 
Baby maybe that is great news!! What a relief.

Amy, sorry to hear that things are a bit scary at the moment, I think you've definitely done the right thing by staying home. Hopefully resting will help her stay in a bit longer :hugs: I'm sure everything will be just fine though :)
 
Amy- so happy to hear that you and baby are doing well .. Enjoy the rest and don't feel guilty about leaving work early. I've decided that as long as my doctors agree I'm going off on feb 15th which is almost a month early.. However I'm going to need to return to work a few weeks early so I'm not feeling too guilty about it :)
 
I wouldn't worry either. I'm sure they would of said something. I always wonder how accuarate as they measure the lenght but sometimes baby is in a different position to what they are measuring. I think so long as it isn't too signigicant or ongoing you will be fine and they would say :flower:

Glad everyone with worries is doing okay considering :flower:
 
Baby maybe that's great news!!

Amy hope things get better for you! It's not long till your little one will be here if your getting induced :)
 
Amy, my fingers are crossed your LO stays put until 38 weeks :hugs:
thats really great news that she is doing really well in there xx
