31 week Growth Scan

Good appointment today.  Baby is transverse, laying sideways, and her legs are still up by her head lol.  She is an estimated 4lbs 5oz and measuring 3 days ahead.  So they are saying she is in the 52nd percentile.  I am glad she is doing okay.  My blood pressure was good, her heart rate was 149, and my weight & blood sugars are looking okay.  However, they are still on the c-section train.  Looks like it might be a RCS for me.  Hope all is going well.

  • That's a great appointment.  I'm still hoping for your VBAC!!  I would love for you to prove them wrong.

  • Hey - good job on a healthy report, Mama!

    As a FTM, I have a question: Is it common to get a growth scan at 31wks? I didn't know when/if another u/s would be performed. It always seemed like women were told a size estimate before L&D, but I didn't know where they got the info.

    Not really.  I have GD and blood pressure issues.  My LO has had about 8 u/s my entire pregnancy.  DS was 10lbs, so they are thinking I am going to have another big baby.  If so, I will have to have a c-section.  They will do another scan at 36 weeks.

    Ditto! Is it common to have a growth scan after 30 weeks?

  • Congrats on the good scan :)

     

    To comment on the questions, I'm also having a growth scan at 31 weeks.  I don't have any serious complications or anything but I am on blood pressure medicine.  He said I'll probably have at least two more ultrasounds before I have the baby.  Not completely sure if it's a common thing or if it's because I had some issues in my previous pregnancy (DS was born 5 weeks early and was small for his age).
