Follow up growth scan

 36 weeks growth scan. 

Had my scan this morning at 36 weeks +2 days, it was to check his growth as last time baby had only grown 9oz in three weeks rather then one week. So was measuring two weeks behind at 4lb 4oz. So today determine the rest of my pregnancy care and if baby needed to be born early. We waited nervously for two weeks for this scan. 

It started stressful because as friend was coming to care for ariyah so we could both go to the scan. However about 15 mins before they were meant to be here and we had to leave they tell me buses been cancelled and wasn't repling. This did stress me out as was already worried. But I know their was nothing our friend could do. We messaged around and lucky another friend the mum of ariyah little friend who live round the corner said she have her. This friend had helped us alot while we were sorting the house out and had Ariyah round for play date a few time the last two weeks so ariyah knee her house well. We quickly were able to drop her round on our way to the hospital. 

In the scan - baby was wiggling around making it hard for the sonographer to measure. I could also feel the movements and see them on the screen which was lovely. But yes the sonographer was able to measure the baby and whilst it still showed our pot of gold was small measuring two weeks behind still, however it showed that the baby had grown and was doing well. They estimate the baby to now be 5lb 6oz. So over a pound growth in two weeks which is what it should be. Therefore everything was fine il just have a small baby. 

This meant that baby was staying in for now, until my planned c section in three weeks time. Giving baby time to grow more and us time to rest and spend time with ariyah before the new arrival. As everything is packed, cleaned and house is sort. Just do bulk shopping and last quick clean before he comes.
