Todays big excitement was the growth scan.
I've been big the whole way through this pregnancy so the midwife sent me along to the hospital today so they could find out why. I was checked for excess fluid round baby as well as a check on how big she is.
Fluid levels were a bit higher than normal but nothing to worry about.
Baby is currently around 6lbs 10oz, so bigger than average but not huge. They're estimating her birthweight at 40wks at around 9lbs. My last daughter seemed big at 7lbs 10oz so I'm a little shocked, but just glad she's healthy.
So a combination of excess fluid AND a bigger baby is making me massive, but nothing to worry about at least. 32 days till I'm due.
Speaking to the consultant on Wednesday to ask if they'll induce me either at 39wks or on my due date.
I've had really severe SPD (it's a pregnancy related problem with the pelvis where the bones seperate, very painful!) Day to day activities have become very difficult or impossible, the housework is piling up and I'm really struggling to care for my daughter. Hopefully with the baby being such a good size they'll agree to an induction.
