    im currently UTD with baby #3 and feel and look small. with DS i was small, then with DD i was massive, now im small again. i think if you're worried, definitely book in to get a scan done just for ease of mind. in fact the hospital i am going to now referred me to go, i think its their procedure, i'll be 37 weeks and they wanted to see how big baby was going to be. on another note, my SIL looked really tiny with both her babies, and both of them ended up being nearly 9 pounds, so baby could also be hiding as well! as for movement, maybe what the other ladies have posted? just try and monitor it, i find my baby is most active at night. hope things go well for you.

    Awww hun

    I hope CLD has been kicking up a storm for you and that your scan goes well, at least it will give you a bit fo an indication, my growth scans were pretty accurate, within 100-200grams, but I know they can be quite wrong. What they do it, I would amke sure that you have all the individual measurements, because you've had long babies before the femur length will be one fo the one's that can skew the weight of bub, especially for you.

    Thinking of you huna nd if you get at all concerned with the movements definitely give your MW a call.
    Take care xxoo

    Thanks guys

    Yesterday was a very quiet day movement wise, until I was crouched on a bottom bunk bed trying to put a kid to sleep and she promptly got the hiccups! Not very comfortable for me - the little bugger.

    Today has been pretty quiet too, but I think I've had about 10 movements today, so will keep an eye on it.

    Hopefully Tuesday's scan will put my mind at ease, and that everything is as it should be.
