Hello girls.I apologise for neing MIA lately.I have been reading your posts but just cant keep up,especially with all the newbies.I keep forgetting who wrote what as you all seem to be early on in your pregnancies.I hope you are all doing well.
Londonmiss,Lise,Paula~ Hope your plodding along nicely. I have cancelled my fb account as i was being hormonal and moody and disagreed with my brother over an issue so i clicked..deactivate account.

Well im having a whinge today.Im hoping someone can help me by reading this....

I had my antenatal app yesterday and much to my dismay,i was told that my baby is now too small for 29 weeks!! My fundal height was 28 which wasnt too bad but after the routine scan which we have every visit,prof said she is small.I now have to have a growth scan done in 2.5 weeks and see him in 3.As i was born 6.5 pounds,he says its probably (90%) chance that she is just genetiically small.
I am only 160cm and weighed 47 kg before pregnancy.
He said depending on the scan,if she continues to grow along the lowere percentile,she is just a small baby BUT if she shows no more growth over the next few weeks,i will need to have a caesarean to deliver her early!!!!!!
I havnt slept lastnight and am just in shock.At my 19/20 week scan she was average sized now she is too small. The worry of it all is making me sick.I know i cant stress as that is bad for her and i am going to eat more to hopefully build her up.
I have been eating healthier this pregnancy and am hoping that its only food that i need and nothing more seriuos like placental insufficiency.
The good thing he said was that babies that are 'growth retarded' usually have low amniotic fluid levels.Mine were perfect which he said could indicate she is just little because she is built that way.

Does the worry EVER end.I was sooooo happy to get to the 28 weeks mark as she would be big enough to come early but now im worried all over again.
If she comes early she wont be coming at least until 3-4 from now but it doesnt make it easier.

Does anyone know of someone who has had to have a growth scan done??
Any advice would be great!!!

Hugs,Alicia.x
