Can i request a growth scan **warning post may upset**

Hey Mumma

I know the stress you are going through, as i haven't been able to beat the cigarettes either It's a terrible habit to break unfortunatelly.

I had an ultra sound done last monday and the lady estimated my baby to be approximately 2.9kilo's already (i am not sure what that is in pounds etc) but i know my son was 3kg at birth and he was born 3 week's early by c-section. This baby will also be by c-section. I have 3 week's to go today (tuesday 5th august) as they are giving me the c-section at 38 week's.

I can understand your concern, and you do what you feel is right for you and to ease your mind, i am sure they wouldn't mind giving you another scan, it's your choice.

I cried a little reading Hoobley's post... I think she's spot on. You're a great mum, don't doubt yourself.

I have two close friends who smoke (pack per day) and they both give birth to healthy sized babies. One has two sons and both were 9 pounds. The other has had 2 just under 6 pounds and with number 3 was expecting the same size but no, he was born 9lb 3oz. I will add that friend number 2 is 4ft 9in high so she was used to having small babies and it was expected but surprise... huge baby number 3.

Best of luck for the rest of your pregnancy mummatotwo.

I am all stressed out again about it today, and having trouble staying up beat.
I have a midwife appointment on monday, so i will talk to them then.

You'll be fine. Please don't stress. You are nearly at 36 weeks, so even if bub was born now, s/he should be fine! There is only 4 or so weeks to go & your beautiful baby will be here.
Try to take your mind off it.
Is your bag packed?
Have you got everything in there you need?
Have you got everything for bub's you need?
Spend some extra time with your DS before bubs gets here. Take him to the park or something.
