Refusing fundal height measurements

[*star*]

Just wanted to update on how I went with the midwife on Monday...

Had myself all geared up that if she didn’t give the right answers I would seriously consider whether I could swap midwives or change plans altogether. Turns out I needn’t have worried!!! She came in and pretty much apologised for all the rules she gave me last time – said that was general hospital policy and we don’t have to be as strict!! Holy cow, don’t know what got into her!!! She said she was comfortable not doing the fundal height measurements and could see that I was growing (how could you not!!!), so we’re not going to bother! YAY! Hopefully this removes the fear from both of our heads regarding the large baby! I was so happy after the appointment and just felt great! I can’t really understand why the complete backflip (if I was guessing, perhaps my doula ran into her and mentioned she was going to be looking after me?!!). I am feeling so much more positive about my VBAC now! Even had a good dream about labour last night, LOL!

It's going to be fantastic! Maybe this whole experience was a blessing as it brought potential issues right to the fore-front and now you and this midwife have been really thorough about making sure your notes contain all this info and you know you're on the same page. I'm so glad you had a good appointment
