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

[Jakabella]

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.

OH and another quick question - can I activly do anything to try and make bubs turn and stay head down for the next 7-10 weeks!?!

Try the spinning babies website.

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

Totally normal Kate to worry about everything lol.

I usually have big babies and this one, I'm told is average. What does that mean to me????? Will it be smaller than my others or should I expect a bigger baby anyway.

I too have no reason to get another scan boohoo would love to see bubs again and get measurements done. Oh well will have to wait and see for everything

Just enjoy because when they are born then you start really stressing lol.

Leigh - I have mellowed over night a bit I think! Oh and I had a lady in the bank today tell me "your gunna have a big baby!!" so now should I worry about big or small - hehehehe

Hollye - meant to have a look at the web site last night but supprise supprise I was asleep on the couch straight after tea!! Will check it out!

Kim - man im a mess when bubs is still in the oven! Im gunna be in a padded room when they are born huh!!

Thanks again ladies!!

At our 19 week scan we were told "your baby is completely average" then once he saw the horrified look on my face at hearing those words he added "pregnancy is the only time those words are exactly what you want to hear."

Average? ... Pfffh. No child of mine will be completely average, but when it comes to measuring heart-beats and sizes, yes that is exactly what I want to hear.
