Stellas mum - how are you, how did you scan go? Well my news the baby will be arriving on Monday. Had a growth scan yesterday and the results suggest the baby hasn't grown in the 2 weeks since the prior growth scan and signs the placenta isn't functioning as it should, then went for monitoring which we have been doing weeks for the past month and it took 1.5 hours to get her to move around and her heart beat was on the low side so with all this combined it was decided baby needs to be delivered. At one stage it could have been today but thankfully she moved a bit and that was enough for Dr to say Monday is ok. I have to go in on Saturday for further monitoring so hoping that is ok for us to last till Monday.

I did actually make a midnight trip into the hospital last night coz I hadn't felt movements for nearly 12hours, they were so lovely at the hospital. Turns out everything was fine and in fact the monitoring was far better than in the afternoon, the hearbeat had returned to around 150-160 and apparently I was having some 'tighenings'.

So anyway looks like low papp-a has caught up with us, it was only last week we were saying it looks like this is just a small baby but now there seems to be evidence it is the low papp-a that is causing the smallness. The weight estimate is 2kg so hopefully she does surpass this estimate. On Monday I will be 37weeks so technically she will be full term but the size of about a 34weeker. But maturity wise she should be fine.

Hope all is going well for you Stellasmum.
