Sorry, this is long:
Hi Mamas,
My EDD is today and I have an OB and a midwife. I'm planning on an Hbac, but have an uncommonly moderate OB doing my prenatal care in case it doesn't work out (He thinks I'm going to VBAC in the hospital - I don't think that's such a good idea because of prior hospital experience with ds #1).
I went in for my weekly appt with the OB and am measuring 46 cm for FH. I've been honery and haven't seen him for about 3 weeks, but last time I measured just 40.
Also, no thinning or dialating at all supposedly and ds#1 came 15 days late (spontaneous labor, then enhanced with pit and ending in a C/S).
He's concerned that my baby had an unusual growth spurt and wants me in the hospital for a thorough US and a guess at the weight. Then he wants me in the office on Thursday again to talk about the findings.
The question is: 1. Do I care, because I'm still planning a home birth? Should I find out what their guess is even though they may be 2 lb's + or -? Should I be concerned because baby's going to get bigger while I wait?
I've called my MW but she's apparently on break and not calling me back for hours, so I'd love some opinions.
Thanks!
