24-8-2009 - Another ultrasound

My mood while writing this blog: So so so nervous

This may be a bit of an over-reaction on my part, but seeing as I'm not prone to too many of those, I think this one is allowed. I had to go to the hospital today to see the Obstetrician who will be overseeing my delivery. He's actually the GP I had growing up, and he was the OB/GYN on call when I had Lucas, so I know him quite well, and I haven't been too stressed about not seeing him regularly before the birth. ANYWAY, I go in for a quick check up and to make sure they have all my details and test results etc, so that when I start going to the hospital at 36 weeks, they'll be completely up to date on my pregnancy.

He says, jump up on the table and we'll do a quick scan. No problems, right? Well no, there is a problem, and it feels like a really big problem, but it hasn't been picked up before now, so maybe he's just got it wrong. Little Baby Ted (yes, our nickname for the no-name baby, lol) is apparently measuring 3 weeks behind our due date. Bare in mind that I've had a scan with my GP everytime I've been, and whilst he has said that the baby is a little small, it was never more than a week out, and last week when I went, he was happy that I was measuring pretty much spot on.

Unfortunately, somebody has it wrong, and it's enough to cause me to go into overtime madness, worrying about why this is the case. Does it have anything to do with my low sugar, are my dates just wrong? Am I doing something wrong this time that I didn't do last time? Driving me crazy just thinking about it. Luckily I could get in later today for an ultrasound, so I just have to wait until then to see if there is in fact something seriously wrong. Maybe bub is just really little? A bit petite? We do think it's a girl. Maybe she's the complete opposite of her mother?

Okay, I'm going to stop. There's nothing I can do now, I just have to wait and see. Urrgh!
