Another Update

Hi ladies. Just another update, today i went to the hospital for a specialist appointment to check on babies size etc because i have previously had smaller babies. I had a scan last week at 31 weeks and now the specialist wants me to o for another scan in12 days (on the 21st July, i'll be 34 wks preg then) just to compare the growth against my last scan last week. She said if it hasn't growen much then they'll wait until i'm 37 weeks when baby is fully developed and will deliver the baby. If the baby is growing ok then they'll send me for another scan closer to my due date to check growth again and if that's ok then they'll just leave me to have baby when s/he is ready to come.
So yeah i'm pretty excited abut going for all these extra scans etc and getting to see my baby and knowing they are keeping a good eye on me.
Anyway just thought i'd keep you ladies up to date.

Hi, with my 1st child i was induced 4 days overdue because my placenta had stop feeding him and i had very little fluid around him. With my daughter i had no problems but i think they are just being extra cautious (and that doesn't worry me one bit).
This baby did measure 3lbs at 30 weeks but here in New Zealand i think they class any baby under the size of 7 lb small at the moment and cause both of mine have been in the 6lb range they're just watching me.
I'll let oyu know how everything goes in a couple of weeks ;0)
