Cheryl I have no advice to give i'm sorry as my knowledge in this area is very slim.... just want to offer some hugs and some warmth and support. Thinking of you over the next 3 weeks and your little girl and I know all will be fine. She will be born healthy and just perfect
You've been through so much with your pregnancy and you deserve a happy ending
Try and keep busy and your mind occupied on other things as hard as that is.... can't wait to hear your announcement soon!! Can't believe you are so nearly there!!
HI all and thankyou for all your wonderful support, I just dont know where I would be without it.
I wanted to give you all an update on how today went.
However firstly, I guess I am just so stressed out by this whole pgcy that when they bring something else back up it makes me wonder if everything really is ok with ym little girl, especially since the high risk result from the NT scan result. Also getting so close to having this little one, I just praying really hard that all this stress has been for nothing and that she is just petite and perfectly healthy in everyway. I was so dreading that u/s yesterday just because of what else would be thrown up to cause me to worry, which of course it did.
Anyway now for the update:
Well saw the Dr at the hospital today re: yesterdays scan. He wasnt impressed that DR's are still sending us to that particular u/s place as they tend to worry alot of us. He said that they are more interested in covering their rear. Anyway he pulled out a graph chart of his own and proceeded to mark each measurement down from the u/s yesterday and she is right in the middle of the bottom and middle lines on each graph, so he was happy about that. He said he isnt too concerned about how bubs is doing as all seems ok, but has booked me in for another u/s at the hospital Feto Maternal Unit to check how things are going. He also montiored the baby on CTG for around an hour and was very happy with her movement and HR. Yesterday the u/s place had her HR at 135bpm, which they found hard to believe as her HR today ranged between 145-170bpm today Mostly the 167bpm range. He said not to worry about bubs measurements with the femur length as she is more likely just going to be short, not tall. He also got onto the phone with bookings to change the c/s date to the 14th, so I can now expect to have bubs in another 11days time. A week from Tuesday. So I am pleased with how everything went today, he made it easier for me to get thru this long weekend. What even amazed me is that I was seen straight away today, I was lucky to have only waited 10minutes before I was seen.
Still have hospital appt on Tuesday, then Thursday U/S, then Tuesday c/s.
You know what was really nice, their is a midwife that I see every Tuesday and I spoke to her on the phone in the morning, she was the one that got me in today, the Dr had asked if she could put me on CTG, as soon as she saw me she gave me the biggest hug. How lovely was that??
I should mention also that the DR had said that if he was really worried he would have done the c/s today, in which case he wasnt too concerned.

You women are just wonderful and I appreciate each and everyone of you with all my heart, thankyou for sharing and caring. Hugs HUgs and more hugs......
That is such wonderful news! I am so glad you have a caring doctor and middy. It annoys me how some people in the medical profession stress us out for no reason!
Wow 11 days to go, can't wait to hear your announcement! Not long til you hold your precious and perfect little girl .
You know, I think it's your history that is causing all the worry. I was exactly the same. Every little thing that is out of the ordinary causes stress. It's because things have gone wrong before (and not just once) you just expect something to go wrong again, all the while hoping that it wont.
If you are like me you will probably worry right up to the very second you hear bubs cry and you get to see her. At least being a c/s you wont have the worry of a long labour like I had, I kept thinking bubs was dead each time they took ages to find his heartbeat with the doppler, yet he was alive and kicking & 100% normal.
Try to relax a little if you can between now and then. I hope the days go nice and quick for you so you can have her in your arms and say goodby to all those worries.
I'm glad you're feeling a lot better about it all since your Ob visit today. And with the scans, they aren't an exact science either and are prone to user error, so if the sonographer was just a little bit out in where he took the measurement from, then it would have affected the actual measurement itself kwim? Plus her *guesstimated* weight was good, so she's going to be a short little dumpling to love
Great News and Great Doctor by the sounds of it and even better that you get to meet your gorgeous little girl in 11days which will just fly given we have a long weekend this weekend
Cheryl, I just wanted to send you some HUGE You have been through sooo damn much with this pregnancy, I can understand your worry. However, I do think your little princess will be just perfect. I am glad your dr could put your mind at ease.
Hi Cheryl,
I had an u/s at 39 weeks as they were worried about DS's growth, they thought he hadn't grown in the 3 weeks prior. Anyway, they measured his abdominal circ and it was below the 1st percentile (so off the chart) and I was induced due to this a few days later.
I was in high risk and they had a humi crib ready for him as they though he'd be in SC for a few days.
To put a long story short, he was born perfect, although his abdominal circ was small but not as small as they said. He was 2.88kg (6lb 5oz) and didn't need the humi crib at all and had apgar scores of 9 and 9.
He is now still only always between the 3rd and 10th percentile for his weight but on the 95th for height, so a light weight tall bubba, we call him our lean mean machine
So don't let it worry you, chances are bubba is just fine and will be perfect!
Thanks everyone, I am having my next u/s tomorrow so will let you all know what they say this time. However this one is with the hospital. Fingers crossed I will get better results. Thanks for being here for me ladies, and thankyou for sharing your stories it really does bring hope. At least I know I only have until Tuesday and then I get to know for sure how my little girl is, really nervous about that, I just wish I could feel some excitement about that day fast approaching instead.
Anyway again thanks heaps and I will let you all know what happens tomorrow.
They were quite happy, which was such a relief. So now it is just a wait and see how it goes come Tuesday. Yet feeling alot better with their findings today. Thanks again everyone hopefully come Tuesday I can give even better news. HUgs
I'm so pleased for you. I had a feeling all would be well with this scan. Having been through scans that gave me worrying info I know how hard it is to go into the next scan hoping for the best but somehow expecting the worst. It's just such a relief when it comes out well.
Only a few more days now til you have your little one in your arms. Try to relax between now and then and enjoy what's left of your pregnancy.
Satya - Thanks Satya, I am trying to relax and enjoy the rest of the pgcy, the Dr today told me to do the same. Having the scan results come back the way they did, really was such a relief but until my little girl is safe & sound in my arms I dont really think that I will be able to completely relax. Thanks again hun. hugs
Ruf - Hey there hun, thankyou too. I keep trying to imagine who she is going to look like, yet i have a feeling she is going to look like my oldest DD, with maybe a simlar tan as my youngest DD. My youngest wants her to have her hair colour. hehehe So now only time will tell. hugs
