take it as easy as you can x
It’s hard to stay level headed but the positive is that they’re monitoring and just keeping an eye on baby. Better to have too many checks then not enough but it’s ok to feel worried and concerned. I had a growth scan at 38w with my son and I was so scared even though I knew he would be fine either way. Let yourself feel what you feel, have a nice evening of some self care and try some deep breathing to help your anxiety xxHaving such a crappy day today. Had a growth scan 10 days ago after reduced movements and they said she was measuring too big so had to be tested for gestational diabetes (which thankfully came back ok), had my 31 week appointment today and midwife measured my bump and said I’m measuring too small and she’s concerned so I’ll be referred for another scan
I’m trying to take it all with a pinch of salt because so many people have told me how inaccurate measurements can be (scans and measuring with a tape measure) but as a first time mum it’s not really helping my anxiety
This is so true. Thank you
xxthis exact thing happened to me with my latest pregnancy. I was measuring big at 34 weeks and had a GD test (negative) and then at my 38 week midwife appointment I measured "so small" I had to have a growth scan. At which the doctor ACTUALLY LAUGHED and said my baby was anything but small. And he was right, the bruiser was 9lbs.Having such a crappy day today.

Maybe our cycle dates!? I think I was dated incorrectly at 12 week scan...my partner and I just refused to let her change it as we can’t remember getting jiggy before the date we made her... sonographer shouldn’t have let us dictate reallyI don’t get how we don’t have the same due dateI am also 24 weeks today I think x
she keeps coming up as 1-2 weeks bigger so honestly god knows when she’ll come!?!
I had the same thing and feel for you, it’s such an added anxiety on top of everything else to worry about! I do find it reassuring though how quick they are to respond and check!Having such a crappy day today.

This is weird at my 20 week scan she was measuring 20 + 5 but they didn’t change the date and I was 19 + 6 when I had that scan no dates make sense they might as well say it’s a gestimate just out of curiosity when was your last period sorry this tmi I am just genuinely interested mine was 12/11/2020 but I do have pcos abs very odd cycles I don’t think I ovulate a lot either x ps the word jiggy made me laugh hahaMaybe our cycle dates!?

Nearly 22 weeks here and the same. Sending solidarity hugs. Xx
Yes there’s a TTC thread
i decided at 37 weeks not to renew my prescription as it was "only a few weeks" and I’d be fine.
Thank you. Don’t worry I won’t. I made the mistake of running out a couple of weeks ago and had to go a weekend without it- never again
Aw thanks @Kitt. All my tit got sorted today. I took a long (1 hr) lunch at work , had a nice dinner with my partner, ate some ice cream and feel much better
Sending a hug back. It’s rubbish isn’t it. Haven’t managed a proper meal in a few days but have been eating lots of plain pombear crisps- at least I no longer worry about not being to eat properly. Just whatever it takes to get through xx
I dunno why I thought I’d be ok, and then every day I thought "no point in getting it now, it’ll take a few days to get it and then it’s only 8 days left" etc. Idiot
Ah glad to hear you’re feeling better. It’s the weekend so no need to think about work and just relax and restAw thanks @Kitt. All my tit got sorted today. I took a long (1 hr) lunch at work , had a nice dinner with my partner, ate some ice cream and feel much better
Ive eaten so much today. Boredom eating through work is a real thing!
Baby feels heavy today. Feel like im getting pelvic pain, hip ache and very restless legs. Funsies
Oh no I’m very open in real life ask awayThis is weird at my 20 week scan she was measuring 20 + 5 but they didn’t change the date and I was 19 + 6 when I had that scan no dates make sense they might as well say it’s a gestimate just out of curiosity when was your last period sorry this tmi I am just genuinely interested mine was 12/11/2020 but I do have pcos abs very odd cycles I don’t think I ovulate a lot either x ps the word jiggy made me laugh haha
