My community midwife sent me for an unplanned growth scan 2 weeks ago (32weeks + 4) because my stomach measurement was measuring 2 weeks ahead.
At the scan they found the baby had a larger stomach and was on the 92nd% but because it was still in the target range weren’t overly concerned.
I saw the midwife again yesterday and she said my stomach hadn’t changed size in the last 2 weeks and therefore sent me for another unplanned growth scan today! The babies stomach measurement has only gone further out of proportion and is now over the 95th% and off the scale in terms of the guideline charts.
Has anyone else had abnormally large or out of proportion measurements? I’ve got an appointment booked for next week and a section booked for 3 weeks time but am just worried she’s going to be a whopper or have a huge tummy!!
I will also add that my readings have been higher than I would like, on average around 9-10 but my DSM again wasn’t very concerned...
