Ok, so after my hoohaa with the MW the other day and speaking to the lady at the private clinic she offered me an ultrasound today to check the wellbeing of the baby.

I went for it this morning and everything was fab, when I got home I was looking at the measurements that she took and compared them to my 20 week scan which was 10 days ago.

19 weeks and 5 days....

HC 165.0mm
BPD 44.0mm
AC 152.0mm
FL 33.0mm

21 weeks and 1 day....

HC 179.7mm
BPD 50.6mm
AC 152.8mm
FL 37.7mm

Anyway basically looking at the measurements her AC hasn't grown at all in the last 10 days and according to a chart ive found on the net it should have grown by approx 12mm.

Im really concerned now that even though it still puts her measurements within the normal range, that it hasn't grown at all.

I dont know if theres anyone I can speak to over the weekend either??

Oh, ermm not sure hun but what I would say is dont listen to the charts online, on Babycentre they say that the baby should be about 30cm at 23 weeks and this little man was 33cm 3 weeks ago!

If they were concerned I'm sure they would of asked you to go back and have another scan to monitor you?

Looking at your measurements though she definately is growing so please try not to worry hun xxxx

Oh and maybe the equipment at Babybond differs slightly from the NHS one, so maybe producing slightly different results? xxx

You really need to try and relax or you're going to drive yourself mad. As Susan said, if they were worried they would have called you back x

hi siobhan ,,,, i have to second what mandy has just said ,, i appreciate how worrying pregnancy is but all this worrying is not good for you or the little lady

try and enjoy your pregnancy hun ,,,,,once the little lady is here you will miss your pregnancy x x x

1st of all hon for your own mental wellbeing stop googling I say this with love.

My consultant radiologist said at my uterine atery doppler its not an exact science so sometimes measurements can be overestimated or underestimated. If they over estimated the last scan then there would be growth thats not charted same if they underestimated this one.

At my last scan Awen was coming in at 1lb 7oz but the range for error was 1lb 1oz and 1lb 12 oz. Its really not exact

The main thing that has made me concerned is that the lady at the private clinic doesn't know what the measurements were at my 20 week scan, so although it still is within the normal range she doesn't know that it hasn't changed.

I wish I hadn't compared them now xx

And if you went for a scan in another 10 days you may find shes suddenly shot up and out. Really isnt an exact science mate

Hun

I know this is easier said than done but I have to agree with mario hun try and stop googling. I know I will be exactly the same hun but all this worrying isn't good for you or the little lady. I am sure if they had of been concerned they would have called you back for another scan. Thinking of you xx

Sorry not sure if it was just a typo, but the second AC measurement is 0.8mm greater??

Sorry just re read your post and was getting confused with decimal places, thinking that the increase was nearly 12mm. Clearly not!!

Tbh i never looked at any of the measurements i was given with either of my scans. I know it must be so difficult after wanting this darling baby for so long, but i agree that you should try to stop googling things!!

x x x

aw hun dont worry. Baby is fine, and if she wernt they would have said.

relax hun

I'm going to go against the grain here because the abdominal circumference is the one that measure growth/weight but in saying this I mean you should call midwife monday and see what her thoughts are not panic all weekend because it's probably nothing

Mine always checked the measurements before letting me go and would tell me if they were worried about something.
Try to not worry about it and give them a ring monday morning that will put ur mind at ease xx

hiya hun please dont worry .. i was told amelie was absolutley tiny and all her measure ments where of the scale below average.. she was 10lb 7 i was told she was no bigger then 6lb and she was long and had a 38 cm head all bigger then the measure ments given ..it i sonly a estimet x

It was a typo on the report....

19 weeks and 5 days - AC 152.0mm

21 weeks and 1 day - AC 168.1mm

Thanks ladies for all your messages xx

Oh hun I'm so pleased!!!

Has it put your mind at rest more importantly? xxxx

Yes definately, so pleased that it was just a typo, but she did say that babies also grow in fits and spurts so some weeks there legs and arms might grow more and other weeks there tummy grows more if you get what I mean xx

So glad hun, now STEP AWAY FROM GOOGLE lol xxxx

I agree, no more googling. Dont make me drive over there and pour snot over your pc

Snot???????????????????????????

WTF made me say that. Of all the fluids in the world?

Man im losing it

Glad was ok. But I agree with girls stay away from google!! Does more damage I swear!
They can get measurements wrong though Hun, iv know people told going to have a massive head or stomach & having regular scans & when born they were way out. They told me Hollie was going to be a 9/10lber she wasn't.

Try (I know hard) to relax Hun, the more you are baby will be. Plus enjoy being preg doesn't last long, soon shel be here screaming house down hehe;0) xxx

I know Em! I've seen how quickly all the new little ones are growing up too.....can't wait until April XX
