worried, advice please :(

I went for my 31 weeks check up today. I'm 31+2 my midwife measured my bump and my son has only slightly grown, but isn't followig his growth chart, If that make sense? So she's booked me in for a scan on Friday to make sure he's growing properly. I'm 5ft 10 and she said sometimes tall girls hide there pregnancy well, I'm hoping he's just hiding in my tall frame and that he is normal and healthy. Has any one else experienced this? Was your baby ok? I'm worrying so much now that something might be wrong :(

I know, I always worried that my bump was too small, I didn't even start showing til I hit 30 weeks, I'd only rounded out a couple inches on my stomach and still fitted into my normal clothes til then, then I had to go buy Maternity clothes lol.    I do think being tall has its advantages lol.   Haha yep, he was a big boy :) x

Wow a 9pounder!  The midwife has said she think he's hiding in my pelvis so hopefuly he is. Apparently being our height means we tend to hide baby in our tall frame. I'm just hoping I'm hiding him. It's hard not to worry until you get the conformation that everything is well. Thankyou for the support tho girls.
