Thanks everyone - I am seeing the Obstetrician tomorrow which is why I am so glad for the feedback today. I am having the CTG scans once a week anyway - as I'm on leave now its no big issue to have them every couple of days.
Kelly - I haven't read those studies - I will have a look.
Mel - the reason I went with this Obstetrician is because of his experience with IVF babies. However given that I have been under at least 5 gynocologists/obstetricians over the past 25 years before this current one (including having a really bad experience with the one that is currently running the AMA - shudder) as well as 3 Fertility specialists (one brilliant, one good and one that was an idiot) my trust levels are not incredibly high, which I discovered when I was seeing someone else about my anxiety levels. However he is a straight shooter and I just need to keep a balance between my reactions as well as be willing to let go and trust. Thanks for the information on the placenta too - I had not realised that this could happen.
I will meet with my Obstetrician tomorrow and take it from there. Thanks everyone for your input.
I was 'supposedly' diagnosed GD, never had to go on insulin, but was testing constantly maintaining it all with diet.
I always maintained that my DD was only a little one. They weren't going to allow me to go over my due date with her (DS was 9 days over), but I wasn't ever told to go early. I guess sometimes LESS information, scans etc helps Sometimes we all just have way too much information!
How do you feel...does the baby feel massive to you? DD ended up only being 6lb 13oz....so I was right!
I am glad you have come to a decision you can now work towards. Sometimes dealing with the uncertainty can be the worst thing. All the best for welcoming your LO into the world!
Hun, I know that all you want most in this world is for that precious baby to be in your arms, and if that meant making a compromise, then I'm sure that is 100% the right thing for you to have done I can't wait to hear that bubs is finally here

Hope all goes well tomorrow and you have a plan in place for the next few weeks that you are comfortable with.
