i'll read later...just have to get it off my chest

ugh, i'm a bit confused... to say the least!
scan this afternoon was a bit of a nightmare!

new gyn... aparently she didn't get my data from my old gyn so she had to rely on me.
she checked baby, took measurements....
skeletal development, ok, on track
abdominal circumference...not ok, 3 weeks behind (is what she said, on the printed scan it's 2 weeks)
is this news to us? no, bc at 22 weeks babygirl measured ok for bone measurements and 2 weeks behind for abdominal circumference and gyn didn't make an issue out of it.

also, estimated weight is 1kg353, that's not even bad or off the charts.

she didn't want to jump to any conclusions bc she doesn't have the official data (from my old gyn),
so they put me on the monitor for half an hour, "to see if she's happy"
wtf... i don't need a monitor to know our baby is happy, the way she responds to us says more than enough.
plus, it's her fav game in the world to move away from things that scan or register anything lol,
so yes, monitor wasn't very succesful at first when the midwife tried LOL.
Bf eventually took over to constantly find and follow the heartbeat.
and of course he had to test the theory again that Ukkie's heartbeat goes up if it hears his voice...
it did, lovely to hear...

so after some waiting and analysing from the doc, she came out and said Ukkie's results from the monitor were great.

now i have to call my old gyn, explain the situation and let them discuss it


so of course they got me worried, MIL calmed me some
but still... i nag to anyone who wants to hear bc it seriously upset me

Sounds like Ukkie's tummy takes after mummy's - flat. No dramas. Sorry you had a mare, darling. She's still a girl then?

 

[debgreasby]

Tibs, these babies are making their presence known lol

 

[tinybutterfly]

they sure do!!!

Sounds like Ukkie's tummy takes after mummy's - flat. No dramas. Sorry you had a mare, darling. She's still a girl then?

no drama as far as i'm concerned, but the way she was making a big deal out of it, my goodness!!!

i didn't ask to check if it's still a girl
after seeing the inner and outer labia on screen the past weeks we're pretty convinced,
regardless, i will ask again next time, because...you never know lol

it was first apointment with the new gyn and normally she doesn't even do scans at 30 weeks, so i was lucky to get to see her (my old gyn does ultrasound every month, this one only once every trimester aparently),
so i was holding back a bit, didn't feel comfy enough to ask yet
or maybe she did check and i didn't see lol, that's possible too, i'm better at seeing things in the upper part of the body, with the legs being crossed and folded, that area is usually a blur to me

 

[tinybutterfly]

and just some observations...

she asked if i knew how baby was positioned (i do)... i also asked if she can still get her head out of my pelvis area (bc the lady who does the 3d scan needs to know),
she didn't check, just said "of course, they can still move around now"
yeah... i KNOW they can... but our girl doesn't, she moves alot, but more kicking etc, not really shifting positions anymore.

and a fun fact... the midwife who helped with the monitor, her name is the name we picked out for baby.
don't know, but seeing that pop up (it's not a common name AT ALL), kind of calmed me for some reason

 

[tinybutterfly]

oops, double rant


and purely from stress (i think), i had some pink discharge after the scan and monitoring.
only few spots in my pants, nothing anymore after that, so i hope it's nothing to worry about

 

[mislaww]

Congrats Neen and Goddess on Olly and Olivia!

So sorry Babysimpson. Next month I hope.

Christina - hang in there hon.

Sorry about the debacle....your little girl is okay, I'm sure. Don't worry!

Smiley - WOW Jack is gorgeous. Congrats!

AFM....On mat leave 2 weeks early to try and keep my blood pressure down and avoid early induction!

 

[x-Rainbow-x]

Hi girls just to let u all know benjamin is here!!!

Born at 01:00am weighing a tiny 5lb 2oz (2.350g)

Will update properly later when I can and post pics xxx

 

[Tulip]

Congratulations sweetie! xx

 

[Mrmojo1971]

Congratulations Lea ! Look forward to seeing pics when you're up to it !!

Shazza - Jack is gorgeous !

Hope everyone else is doing well and all the new arrivals are settling in.

I've had a busy week - got married on Friday and had a couple of days away in the Lake District afterwards. (Can't quite believe that after nearly 11 years together we got married when I was 33 weeks - still it saved me going on a pre-wedding diet !)

 

[debgreasby]

Huge congrats Rainbow x

 

[Minimin]

Congrats Rainbow!

 

[tinybutterfly]

congratulations rainbow!!!!!!!!!!




update: called my old gyn's practise (he just left, i can call him tomorrow morning).
they looked in my files and found nothing abnormal and she was very surprised the new gyn told me such a thing and worried me like that. she told me i needed to rest more, take things easy so more energy goes to baby.
i told her baby was very active, so maybe it was bc baby was too active lol.
so she reassured me that active responsive babies are happy and healthy babies that are doing just great! nothing wrong with them.

hooray! i can go out and enjoy the sunshine!
a little shopping with bro this afternoon and then meet with my cousin in town for a drink on a terras, yeppie!

 

[tinybutterfly]

and congrats Mojo!!!! hope it was all you hoped for!

 

[babysimpson]

Congrats to both Rainbow and Mojo!!

Chimpette - Glad to see at least one of you are playing properly though it will be annoying if you go over and have to wait longer
