Stats from this visit were:
Baby's heartbeat: 148.
I've gained a total of 22 lbs.
Measuring 28cm.
30 weeks, 1 day pregnant.
I saw one of the ARNPs today. I think my Dr. was out of the office. I again am measuring smaller than I should. My Dr. put a note in my chart that if I was still measuring small, to schedule an ultrasound with my next appointment. I decided to voice my opinions about this with the ARNP. I explained that I didn't feel an ultrasound was necessary because this has happened with each of my three previous pregnancies and that when the ultrasound is done, everything with baby's size, fluid levels, etc end up fine. I also mentioned that I deliver healthy, normal weight, full term babies, so I really feel the smaller measurements are due to the baby's current position, and that once she turns head down, I'd begin to measure where I should. The ARNP checked baby's position and confirmed that indeed she is laying sideways with her butt on my left side and head on my right. The ARNP said she was fine with pushing the ultrasound out a bit and that my Dr would probably be fine with it too since my measurements are staying a consistent 2 cm smaller. I guess we'll see what he says in two weeks.
