fundal height measurements??
hi, i saw my midwife today (37+4weeks) and the fundal height was 34cm which it was at my last appt at 35+4weeks, she sent me up to hospital to get checked as i had high blood pressure too n they hav sent me home with a growth scan booked for next tues, now im worrying thinkin thats quite long away considering she said the placenta might have stopped working or something? has anyone had any similar experiences? this pregnancy has been so smooth till now, now im stressing a little !! lol x
Most of the time you will get to your scan and all will be ok... Sfh measurements are quite subjective and can be effected by a full bladder, baby's position and a whole host of other things! I wouldn't panic until you have had a scan! Movements are a really good indicator of a healthy baby... A baby that's struggling saves their energy and doesn't wriggle as much. If you have any worries about movements then call the hospital, otherwise chill until your scan!
at my 35week appt he was 4/5 and still the same today, thats also gt me worried hes not gonna come on his own anytime soon ? not that i wanted him early but i feel that now im jus gonna constantly worry, with nothing progressing....x
I measured 3 weeks behind with Sam and 4 weeks behind with Olivia. I was induced with both of them because my fluid levels were low and they were concerned about the placenta not working. Everything turned out fine with the placenta but because they didn't know what could happen if they left me they decided to induce to be on the safe side xx
I was measuring 5 weeks behind due to placenta dying, had my baby at 33+3. Just keep an eye on movements if anything changes go straight to get checked x
