    Question OB is happy - I should be happy, right??

    Morning All,

    So I had my 30 week appointment with my Ob yesterday. She did my BP - Going down (has been high for a while) Listened to heartbeat punding away perfectly, did a mini scan and bub is breach at this stage (no biggie plent of time) and she did the measurements of the tummy and head and she said "all in normal range" and then at the end of the session she said she was "very happy with how it is all progressing" I have a growth scan in a week but she said that she is happy with growth but will be intersting for me to see how big bub is and if he/she has changed position.

    So she was happy - my ob is very old school and never has had any probs saying things how they are - so I have no reason to think she would not tell me somthing just coz I would worry.

    So why do I keep reading into "measurements all in normal range" as being bad?? I was looking at the screen and the EDD date was 28/11 and my due date is 30th so that would mean pretty much on track huh?

    Why cant I just be happy that its all going ok??

    Thanks for reading my rant!

    Love to All
    Kate

    Thats great news. I think its just normal part of being pregnant and well just being a mum. There is always worry and doubt in your mind. I remember going through it not long ago... I did shared care so no OB. Every appointment i was told conflicting info... Baby too big, baby average, fundal measurements feww weeks out. BlahBlah... Although i was post date and Induced everything went well and we had a healthy baby girl...

    I know its easy to say but just try to relax and enjoy being pregnant, I miss being pregnant now and once bubs arrives you have so much to worry bout then..

    Good luck and hope things go well.

    Try the spinning babies website.

    You can also go to a Chiropractor that is trained in the Webster's Technique.
