Hi Stellasmum - update on appointment today everything is going well. Baby had grown well, heaps of fluid which is a good sign for placental function. I'm now on weekly check ups and after each check up I go for monitoring for half hour just so OB can get a good look at heart beat and over a longer period of time. Monitoring actually went for 1 hour today as baby wasn't moving heaps so they wanted it to move to see what heart rate did while moving, anyway everything was good.
Next week I go for another detailed scan, followed by app with OB, followed by monitoring - oh boy what a day that will be.
NExt week we will also get a delivery date. OB has said come 37wks he wants to deliver so no further risks are taken. He is suggesting by that stage baby could be 2.5kg but given how the growth is at the moment it will certainly need to get a wriggle on. Todays estimate was 1.7kg.
Baby is still breech which I'm starting to be thankful for as it means this bub would have been delivered by c-sect regardless. I think if it turns or had turned to head down I would be disappointment if I had to have c-sect just to play it safe. Because I've already had a c-sect OB won't induce.
Thats good news! It certainly seems like you are receiving great care. You've still got a few weeks to go right? Thats only 800 grams, Im sure she'll get there - maybe you should eat all day long? Not sure if that will help!
Its always good to see the baby more anyway! Cant believe I still have another 2 weeks til I see the baby on ultrasound!
I'll keep an eye out for updates, looks like all smooth sailing now.
just an update on the baby - all good news at the moment! Had a growth scan today and baby is right on target. He predicts the baby weighs about a kilo at the moment which is normal for 28 weeks. He measured the flow in the cord and didn't mention anything was wrong so its all looking good at the moment. Fingers crossed everything keeps going well.
How are things with you? Must be getting close now.
