well today I was at my dr again today to have ultrasound to check the baby's size. when the feel her on the outside she feels to be larger but apon ultrasound she was only 6 lbs 14 oz. now I know ultrasounds can be off but I had ultrasound at 35 wks and she was weighing 6 lbs then.  she was in the 74% and now she I measuring only in the 49% so now I an worried that since I have had gastric bypass surgery last yr and now I am wondering what is going on. should I call back and have them redo the ultrasound to make sure? also I wanted to discuss what is going to happen if I go past my due date but they gave me an apt for aug 5 and my due date is the third. I am just sittin here thnking of all the things that could go wrong but what would you ladies DO?

yai was verbal yesterday along with my hubby about out concerns and they still seemed to just brush me off as acomplaining pregnant woman . Now granted they finally gave me something to stop my headache granted i hate taking narcotic meds i dont like the way they make me feel but i just couldnt take the headache anymore seeing as i had it for going on three weeks, i just am so tired of being treated like a pod rather than aperson and i told them that, My concern is for the babya and myself, I called my gastric bypass surgeon yesterday to and she consulted with me and the nutritionist about what i told them was going on and they arent too happy with now my OBGYN is handling the situation, I  should have been montiored alot closer due to the fact i got pregnant only four months after having my surgery granted it totally wasnt planned.  

       THey feel at this point my body just cant do it it anymore and that is why  I am started to just not feel right all the time.My bloodsugar has been really low every morning ( i am not a diabetic but i have been taking to check tomake sure it is ok with the way that i have been feeling)  I am talking like 60  this morning which isnt bad but bordering the low end  and that is with eating a snack with juice at 12 am last night, I just feel i cant support carryinng her any more if that makes sense, LIke i am nutritionally becoming more adn more deficent and that  could be now starting to affect her.
  I am calling back this mornig to see if they can change the apt for sooner just cause as of now i dont have asitter for all my older kids and everyone i know who can babysit them is going out of town on the weekend for vacations i  just would really hope something happenes before then  i mean come one  i am almost 4 cm almost fully thinned out and she is fully engaged ( i forgot what station they said she was in )  i just feel like enough is enough already I spent almost all of my pregnancy worrying about wether or not she was going to be born early now i am  sitting here thinking of all the  things that can go wrong if she is born to late

Geez, I don't know on this one.  I know the u/s can be off as well.  It may even depend on who is giving you the u/s.  I would just call and voice your concerns and see what they think.  Let us know!
