Fundal height

So I’ve had my bump measured twice now and this is the graph. My midwife hasn’t said anything about it but surely being outside of the lines is a worry? Should I ask about it? Anyone else’s look like this?

Should I be concerned?

I had a growth growth ultrasound on Monday. Everything looks great, but every growth ultrasound I've had they say she is under weight. I was 31w and 5d her weight was 3lbs and 12ozs. The Dr said she was coming at 30w and 6d. Should I be worried? My first was a big baby (9lbs and 12ozs) so I just worry.

Anatomy scan

My anatomy scan is tomorrow and I have a question for everyone who’s already gotten it done. Do they let you see your baby the entire time during the scan? Or do they only turn the screen to show you at the end? I was under the impression that we got to see baby the entire time and was looking forward to it. (I know...

5+1

Had a scan at EPU today at 5+1 and they found baby in the right place, with a yolk sac, HCG 1,500 so pretty high. Everything looks how they’d expect. Hoping this calls my anxiety for a bit, still not feeling sick but I’m sure it will come.

Anyone else’s OB *not* performing cervical checks?

My OB says it’s no longer their practice to do checks at every appointment, but they’ll do them if asked. Just curious if anyone is experiencing the same? I’m 36+3, having cramping the last couple of days and think I should ask to be checked at my weekly tomorrow!
