We had a 3d scan mostly to just have an little peek at pfb. They also did some growth measurements. The baby's leg was on the 72nd centile his head was on tge 82nd centile and his tummy was the same size as his head and greater than the 98th centile. It was a bit of a shock because the previous week my bump was measuring small.
I took the info to the midwife and she remeasured my bump, it was now on the 50th centile. She referred me to the Dr. My blood sugar has always been fine despite having a family history of type 2 diabetes.
The Dr said to me 'we dont tend to worry about big babies it's tge little ones we worry about" I said to the Dr "that's easy to say you don't have to give birth to the baby" my cousin was a huge baby and he got stuck in birth and consequently has brain damage so I'm really anxious about growing a baby that is too big f our my body to safely birth.
The Dr has booked me a sc as n at 32 weeks to check tge growth.
Has anyone had scans around 28 weeks showing big babies and then the baby's size leveled out?
Could a big tummy be a sign of an underlying disorder?
