OB Appt - want some reassurance - Alan, anyone?

for you honey... I can imagine how comments like that would leave you feeling a little concerned, but from reading between the lines it sounds like he was just making generalised statements, I wouldn't worry too much. I don't know what an AFI is, but CTG monitoring can't hurt. I'm no expert, but can't see why it is necessary, but it might help to put your mind at ease now that he's raised these doubts. But if you don't want it, don't have it, like you said her heartbeat is good.

I remember reading your birth story awhile back. If there is one thing you can do it is trust in your body, it did a fabulous job last time and will again, whatever the circumstances. GL babe and try not to worry too much.

like Miss E said, I wouldn't worry too much. It sounds like everything is going fine. DD2 was engaged from 36 weeks, and wasn't born until 40 weeks, so I wouldn't worry about that. Doing the measurements is only a guess really, no-one can no for sure how big your baby is until born. . Take it all in your stride and continue going about your business as usual.

Dont worry to much hun, i know its easily said then done babe, they said to me grace would most likely be born 3-4 weeks earlier to wen she ended up coming and i was mesured spot on with my fundal measurements and grace ended up being 2 weeks overdue and 10 pounds!!! which for me was huge as i was only 6pound myself
and not that big in stature... so i wouldnt really go off what they say or let it worry you hun.

i just read you BS of ava you did an amazing job!!! truly inspirational xx
