So I'm assuming everyone kept their legs crossed in Dublin and waited til the pope left
:D
2 of my friends have both gone 3 weeks early already so its made it very real that this baby could come at any time now
:D:D
No little Francis here thankfully although I'm getting 7 shades beaten out of me by baby today so I'm a bit curious if I will go earlier than planned.
A friend sent me this today, looking for newborns for a tv advert born in the next 2 weekshttps://www.facebook.com/MovieExtras.ie/posts/1811995338849528 0 -

Naid I’m just butting in from November but you might be just aswell not knowing measurements. They can be so off by a few pounds each way. Aswell as that I had no guesstimates done on my first aside from measurements of the bump (which were always bang on for dates!!) - she ended up 9lbs9oz and had I know I’d imagine I would have worked myself up into a tizzy for what in fact turned out to be a super quick labour with zero complications for either of us.
My second I only had one done at 41 weeks as they thought her stomach had stopped growing. All was fine and they guesstimatesd 8lbs, she was born a week later at 9lbs3 so I take them with a huge pinch of salt. Sometimes ignorance is bliss
PS the doctor sounds like an absolute snot! Not what you need when you feel so vulnerable. Good thing you had your partner with you.0 -

Yeah i get that but it was more to get an idea that baby is growing ok. She didnt do any measurements at all. Not even a bump measurement so we have no idea.0 -
My bump was measured at every hospital visit on my first and not once this time around, did get baby measurements the last two visits and an estimated weight/length but only because of an issue they discovered with baby's leg. Don't think they'd have informed me otherwise tbh my consultant isn't the nicest lady either unfortunately. Back in again tomorrow for another scan and no doubt a horrible internal exam
This time 2 weeks and I should have baba in my arms fingers crossed0 -

Back down the hosp again this morning for my 36 week check up. Same Junior doctor as last time. Asked her if it was possible to get an idea of the size of the baby at this stage to check if shes around where she should be - " oh we dont do that", Ok I asked if she would check measurements -"Dont do that anymore either". Again, just got the impression that she didnt know exactly what she is doing. And my BF had to ask her to let me finish what I'm answering.
She kept talking over me and asking me new questions while i was still trying to answer her previous question.
Not very happy about it but not sure what I can do about it.
Sorry you had such a frustrating visit, her rudeness is totally unnecessary, glad your bf spoke up, hope you get a different person next time. It makes all the difference having a good experience at appointments, especially when there’s all the waiting around!
I wasn’t measured at all by gp or hospital until my 32 week check up and only the midwives at the hospital measure me since. I also haven’t had a scan since 20 week anomaly so I asked and they said all my measurements are spot on and it’s not needed now which is fine with me but I’m glad I booked my own 3D one at 29 weeks or I’d be freaked out. I measured big on my last pregnancy and had a few brief late scans so I assumed it wasn’t a big deal. He was 8lbs 4 in the end, nothing to worry about.
I’ve only ever heard of the baby weight estimates being inaccurate so wouldn’t worry as long as your measurements are okay, insist on them measuring if need be, it only takes a minute and you’re there anyway. GP could do it either and have it recorded on your chart. The fact that there are so many variations in standard care is incredibly frustrating!!! Totally different approach depending on who you get and where you go, it’s disgraceful. It always makes me hesitant to assert myself and ask questions only to be told whatever it is is irrelevant or unnecessary. 0 -

It doesn't help that the hair is growing at an alarming rate really thickly
MIL is gonna come mind toddler while myself and himself head to the scan today so at least I don't have to hide my tears (please god there won't be any this time) if there's any bad news or pain from exam. More nervous than I can even explain.
Oh ladies what I'd give for a large icy cold white wine today 0 -

Got taken to a private room for my scan earlier, really makes you fear the worst but we got the best news ever that baby is healthy as could be and legs are almost identical so they reckon because they're stuck up under my ribs on the right hand side measurements were off first time around. They're guessing we're at 7.5lbs today at 37+5 and I'd say they're close enough because my daughter was born at 37+5 at 7.9lbs. Accidently seen a big set of liathróid too, so that was a surprise.
In a big bubble of feckin happiness here 0 -
