So went to my ultrasound and it wasn't great news 😣😥😢...don't really know how to feel about it and can't help but worry.
@street29, Thank you hun I will 😊...yh it's definitely true, We'll see if they still want to induce me next week xx
I'm not sure when the cut off is I had them at 35weeks but not sure they'll let you I more soon xx
aw thanks hun @nadisha16 same goes for u! if u need anything just let me know! I know what you mean u just want to be left alone and w9rry about it when need to 😊 the way I see it is that if they thought baby was struggling they would get them out. it sometimes easier talking to ppl u don't know as u know it's honest opinions and advice 😊 xx
@tresea, no they've not given me any info yet regarding their plan, they said they'd know more after my ultrasound on Thursday so they'll give me all the info then and their final decision on whether or not they want to induce me. I'm not sure if they'll need to give me steroids, they haven't mentioned them. xx
I understand I was the same when they said I might have to have my daughter at 35 weeks but as a few ppl have said growth scans are not always right have they talked to you about steroid injections that's what they give me when they fort I had to have my baby early xx
@stephaniex, Aww that's great news! thanks hun...that's helped a lot, God willing my little one will pass all the tests and be fine too 😊 xx
@street29, Aww sorry hun, here if you want to talk. I'm sure our babies will be perfect though, just a small bundle of joy...yh I'm like that, I prefer just to get on with it especially if I don't think they'll get it. This friend in particular means well but she doesn't have kids and from past experiences of talking to her about certain things she just won't get it or how I feel and it's frustrating lol. I must say I found it easier to come on here and vent because so many of the women on here have been through it themselves and if not as mothers and pregnant women can understand my fear and what I'm going through and they know what to say to help and it really brings me comfort xx
@nadisha16, she had to stay in hospital but that was because I had her at 6:30pm but she got out the next day! She'll be fine honey!xxx
@nadisha16, I know what u mean hun I was the same unfortunately I'm going through the same situation with this baby as well..... just chill don't let it get to u Baba is healthy just small! if u don't wanna talk just tell people u just want to be left alone I was the same just wanted to get on with it xx
@babyboots, Aww bless her! thank you hun...this will be my smallest baby if their sizing is accurate...my first was 6lb 3oz and she was tiny and perfectly fine she was 2 days late as well lol. Thanks hun I appreciate your message xxx
@street29, Thank you hun, I haven't really told anyone...just you ladies and my mum and sister...I'm thinking of telling one of my closest friends as she's been ringing to find out how the scan went and I haven't picked up. Just not really been in the mood for a convo xx
@stephaniex, thank you hun, i'm glad she's fine...did she have to stay in hospital? they think if they let me get to 40 weeks then she'd only weigh 5lbs 14oz at birth.
thank you for commenting you're all giving me a lot of hope and I am feeling much less anxious then I was at the time xx
hope alls ok hun.. i was told my little girl was tiny i ended up having her at 37 weeks and sje weighed 6lb 14oz and she was tottaly fine.. try not to worry ... big hugs Xxxx
@nadisha16, exactly hun it's normal to feel anxious like u said she's fully developed just small bless her! no worries I've been there before its scary just long as you've got support that's all you'll need 😊❤
@nadisha16, my little girl was born nearly 3 weeks early weighing 5lbs 13oz and was totally healthy!!xx
@tresea, thank you for replying hun, I hope your cousin and her baby will be just fine. They haven't mentioned anything about what will happen after baby is born 😕 but I guess I'll find out after the scan on Wednesday when they give me more information, I'm praying she's well enough to come home with me. Thank you hun...I guess it's the not knowing that makes it harder, if they could guarantee she'd be fine but just small I wouldn't mind but they seem unsure even though things seemed normal with her anatomy just small, I love her so much already..I couldn't deal if something were to happen to her. xx
@street29, Thank you hun, I do feel less worried hearing from other mothers who have experienced this kind of thing so thank you for commenting ❤...I don't even mind her being tiny just as long as she's perfectly fine and there's nothing wrong with her, that's the only thing that worries me xx
My cousin is going through this at the moment and they told her (wether or not it will be the same for you I'm not sure) that if baby as early that she would have to stay in until her due date but she's really early they want to deliver at 28 weeks due to her being so small but at your stage I wouldn't think it was too bad I nearly had my daughter at 35 weeks due to different problems and they said she would be fine just small and if she's only measuring 3 days smaller you I think you'll be fine xx
@nadisha16, listen hun I had my boy at 38 weeks and he was 4lb 10oz teeny tiny everything was fine but he was just really small..... growth scans ain't always accurate! I wouldn't panic baba will be fine 😊xx
@ceecee190, @apunini @winterbaby95 @babydust949 Thank you all so much, you've all helped a lot and I'm feeling a little more positive about things now. I think I'm going to have an early night now, I feel drained lol ...good night ladies xx
@ceecee190, Aww bless her, she's listening to mummy 😂...I think I'll tell my little miss that she needs to eat more too because I don't like worrying like this lol...exactly, hopefully they'll wait and monitor me since my due date is round the corner...I just can't help but feel like I'm failing her somehow xx
That's brilliant! With all the technology they have these days they will be able to make sure your princess is looked after to the fullest so if they have to bring her early just know she's in good hands and the Lord will watch over her. Thank you Hun 😘 I have been giving my princess weekly warnings to eat up her food by the time i go in for her growth scans otherwise I won't be impressed 😂it's worked so far so a little talking to now and then can't hurt lol. I hope that she puts on enough by the time u go for ur scan though and they just decide to monitor her. I went through the same thing at 29 weeks and I ended up packing and getting everything ready and they ended up just monitoring so I really hope you will have the same as u really don't have that long left anyway xx
@ceecee190, Thank you hun, yh they said that everything seems ok with her organs and that she's small all over and they'd be more worried if she had like a big head and the rest measured small, they seemed to be happy with how everything was functioning. Exactly and them talking around me and not to me freaked me out even more, I hated all the whispering amongst themselves lol. Thank you so much for your support, I'm praying for you and your little girl also. I'm hoping when I go for my scan next week they'll decide to leave her in and have me come for regular check ups instead, I'd prefer that and then if I get to my due date and she's still not here then they can give me a sweep or induce me x
@winterbaby95, That's so good to hear! I asked them how accurate these measurements are and they said they can be off but not by much, she said she was way below what she should be on the chart. The thing when I read the report it said that I'm 35 weeks +6 days but the gestational measurements were 35 weeks +3 days. So if I'm only 3 days off why is that an issue??...every midwife appt I've been to they said she'd perfect just measuring 1cm smaller but they weren't concerned. I just don't really know what to make of it all. I'm scared that if I say no and something is really wrong and I lose her (God forbid!) it will be all my fault because I didn't get her out when I had the chance, they were trying to convince me that 37 weeks +2 days isn't bad at all xx
I'm sorry to hear this new hunnie. I fully overstand that you are worried right now, try not to panic and just make sure you prepare yourself for going in to being induced if that's what they are looking to do. Have they looked at her lungs and her other organs to see if they are functioning properly? If you don't know this ask them at ur next scan Hun. I'm currently receiving growth scans every two weeks, I think she's picking up slowly at the moment she's 3lb 14 and think she may come early because of my bicornuate uterus so they are still monitoring it. Also they said she's looking small but just said it could be down to the fact that she's short. Demand for them to speak to you if you don't feel like you know what's going on, don't let them just talk around you because they love to do that. I can understand they don't want to worry you but we're not stupid either we know when something is up. You both will be fine and I'll be praying for you X
@nadisha16, i'm sorry to hear all this hun..j can believe how worried u must be, still try to relax as much as possible and cope with the doctors as i'm sure they're doing the best they can for your baby❤❤i send u lots of strengh and prayers that you baby will be born healthy and fine❤❤❤
Hmm I'm not sure hun....I was told that growth scans later on in pregnancy can be inaccurate... there can be a 10% inaccuracy or something like that. So infact your girl could weigh more than that maybe?...my friend wasnt allowed to go past her due date...as the baby was apparently going to be born weighing 5lbs...she was born 3 days over due weighing over 7lbs :) They estimated my girl to be 9-10lbs by my due date. She was 6 days early and 8lbs 4oz's. xx
@babydust949, @apunini they also started listing all the issues it could be such as chromosomal abnormalities and various other things. I said is there a chance that she could be perfectly fine and just a small baby and they said yes but they can't take any risks and that they have to try and do what they think is best for her. xx
@babydust949, and @apunini ...I don't know if she's ok, when they were doing the ultrasound they said she was measuring really small. They started asking me lots of questions about my other 2 children and how much they weighed and I told them that I've heard this twice before but they were perfectly fine. Small but fine, they then kept talking amongst themselves and focusing on certain parts of her anatomy for so long. Then they brought in 2 drs and a consultant. The first sonographer tried like 3 times to see if his measurements were correct and then the consultant tried. they told me at the moment she's weighing 4lbs 10oz and they estimated at birth (40 weeks) she'd only be like 5lb 14oz so my smallest baby yet. They said they didn't know why and that it was serious, they took bloods and checked my heart rate and BP to see if maybe I wasn't coping so well with the pregnancy. I now have to come back in for monitoring and my midwife appt on Friday, then come in again on Monday and then they want to do another scan on Wednesday and they plan to induce me on the weekend. They said they don't want to let me get to 40 weeks and certainly not beyond that because it could be dangerous for her, if my placenta is failing I could potentially lose her if they let me continue with the pregnancy too much longer. My head is spinning and I'm in shock because I thought everything was fine. They said to me if I have any issues or notice a reduction in movement to come in immediately. I'm scared because if she comes next week she's going to be tiny, I don't know what that means for her and if she'll be ok and able to come home. xx
@tresea, ah ok, yh I'll be speaking to them properly on Wednesday...thanks hun xx
