Had my growth scan



I had my growth scan this morning. It went ok. I am 35+4 weeks and baby is estimated to weigh 4lb 13oz at the moment. Which brings me down to the bottom centile line, where as before he was a little above it. He's measurements for his stomach has also dropped to the bottom centile line. So because of that I have to go back next week for another growth scan. So they must be a little concerned if they want me back next week. The consultant at the hospital did try and make a joke of it by saying well we don't expect you to have a 10lb baby.

I am not surprised he's only gained a pound in almost a month. I haven't gained anything in 3 weeks.

I ended up going back to the hospital this evening.
I phoned them up as my C-section scar felt like it was burning and I was also having some cramping. I thought that they'd just give me some advise over the phone, but nope they wanted me to go in and get checked.
Got there waited 45 minutes before being seen too. they were pretty busy. When I got seen to I got hooked up to a CTG machine. I was on there for over an hour. Every now and then they would say, oh we'll leave you on there a bit longer or oh another 10 minutes and we'll get you off. I got checked to see if I was dilating. luckily I'm not. Was given painkillers for the pain.
I was very almost admitted tonight. If I had not said the pain had eased they would have kept me in. The pain had not really got any better, but I just wanted to go home. The pain has eased now though. I've been told to take it easy and relax. if the pain gets worse or I am worried then to call again.
