worried...off topic kind of....pregnancy chat

May 23, 2005

Hi everyone. I'm a little nervous now, ok, very nervous. I am

pregnant with my 4th child, a little girl, and everything has gone

well until now, it is exactly what happend with Autumn. I went for

my check up today, I am 30.5 weeks and last check up at 26.5 weeks I

was measuring 27. Today I go in and first she feels the outside and

I could tell by the look on her face she wasn't too pleased, then she

measured and kept getting 25 cm. She saw the last report of 27 and

said it can be off a little due to different people measuring at

different visits and maybe if the baby was in different positions she

could possibly get a 27, maybe.hmm, she doesnt know....still didn't

add up...(I was prepared for this, I learned how to measure myself

with Autumn's pregnancy...I had just hoped I was wrong.) Now I am

being sent to a specialist at the 'best' place for a level 2

ultrasound (don't know what that means)

She said that outer uterine measurments are the least accurate way to

determine IUGR, and I understand that, except it was the most

accurate with Autumn! They did (different doc) an ultrasound with

her that said all was well and she was good size, then turns out it

was wrong, and the measurements should not have been ignored (32 cm

for the last 7 weeks)

I am just very worried now. I look very small like I did with

Autumn, everything is eerily the same, everything is exactly how I

was with her. Please don't get me wrong, I am not concerned with

RSS/SGA, it's the whole " what is wrong inside that is causing this

and can it harm my baby " and basically what is going on?!?

I will get a call tomorrow with the ultrasound date, within a week,

and I am hoping all is well?!? Can I even trust it? Apparently

level 2 is a better ultrasound? My first 2 were 7 11 and 19.5 inches

then 7 14 and 21.25 inches, then came Autumn at 5 6 18.5 inches but

the docs feel she has RSS so that explains it, so then what is going

on now?

I am sorry for my ramblings..anyone been through this?
