Worried about babys growth.


I don't know if anyone else has experienced this but I'm worried baby might not be growing as well as he was.

When I was 20 weeks pregnant, my uterus was at least 2cm above my belly button and through the weeks it's always remained 2cm above where it should be for how many weeks I am. I know that a couple of cm either side is normal but that if you've been 2cm above all the way through and suddenly you're spot on for dates (2cm bellow what you usually are) that it can be a problem.

Well since about 27 weeks I've noticed my uterus hasn't been growing so fast. I'm now 29 weeks and measuring 29cm above my belly button so the growth seems to have slowed right down.

I'm seeing the midwife on Tuesday but I'm worried she won't take me seriously if I explain this to her & just think I don't know what I'm talking about. In my notes all they write under FH is "dates" - which is all well and good since technically I have been within the normal range for my dates but it means she won't be able to see that normally my uterus is higher than average.

If you have a problem with something, or you think something is wrong, they're not going to just think you don't know what you're talking about. You're pregnant. We worry. It's perfectly normal. I've been worried about my babies growth and every week I complain that she's small on the scans but my midwife assues me aslong as my uterus is right then my baby is just small. She's never made me feel like I'm being stupid
