Hello out there. I'll try to put anything I think might be relevant here
32 year old with second pregnancy under care of CNMs.
previous pregnancy netted healthy 9lb 11oz son at 41.5 weeks after induction due to "borderline pregnancy induced hypertension" negative Gest. Diabetes, gained nearly 80 lbs over pregnancy
This pregnancy has been great until today - my 32 week visit. Blood pressure has been low and steady, weight gain has been relitavely minimal (18 lbs net gain at 32 weeks).
Fundal height was dead on until 30 weeks. At 30 weeks I measured 32 weeks. At 32 weeks I measured 41 weeks. Both measurements taken by the same midwife. She is not overly concerned - says its probably just another large baby, which I'm well equipped to birth, but wants to order an US just to check fluid levels, etc.
My US isn't scheduled until next friday, but now I'm starting to worry.
Should I get the US sooner? Is this us just going to set me up to head down the road of a "quasi-complicated" pregnancy, netting me another substandard birth experience?
help!
