pregnancy growth question.
Discussion
Was hoping someone on pistonheads, preferably with a medical background could help me.
My partner went to see the midwife today, she’s 8 months pregnant.
They measured her and she is only 30inch instead of the 35 they expected. They have booked her in for a scan next week. Is this normal? Should I worry about anything?
I realise that this may seem stupid asking a question like this on a car website but I was at work at the time of her visit. And I have tried searching on the internet but cannot find anything that is relevant to the above question.
Thanks MTB

not a midwife but i have had two kids
I wouldnt worry at all.
In this late stage of pregnancy it is when the baby gains the most weight. So having a measurement slightly shorter than expected is nothing to worry about as in two weeks time the bump may have caught up!
Plus it is only an indication, women carry hugely different amounts of fluid during each pregnany. I was absolutly MASSIVE with my two (bump only) and yet my kids were the same weight as a friends who and a teeny tiny bump.
A scan will just be to reassure the midwife and you that the baby is still continuing to grow as expected.
As you long as your misses is getting kicked in the ribs i really wouldnt worry
is that from the wane or me? I wouldnt worry at all.
