CALM screening for shoulder dysotcia

deedee1017

Has anyone's doctor done this/ discussed this with them?  Or any BTDT moms have any experience with it? My doctor mentioned it to me and it's got my head spinning.

I think @cousinvicki was talking about having it. Not sure if she did or not.

@deedee1017, yes i am having it next week.  they said it's to measure your pelvis and baby size to give the odds of should dystocia happening to the baby.   I think it's kinda BS, but i was scheduled for a growth scan anyway.

@cousinvicki I had a growth ultrasound (and risk assessment) but I'm kind of side eyeing this whole screening. I mean if it was so accurate wouldn't more doctors use it? It seems you and I are the only ones who were offered it.

Yeah I know. My doctor gave me the info for an elective c section and wants to see me back after I think about it for the weekend. I mean, I'm on the border of low/moderate risk.  Its a big decision to make based on a little bit of info. Pelvis size isn't even taken into consideration. Just another thing to worry about.
