Should I correct my GP

trish4 · Nov 16th, 2009, 17:09 PM

I have been seeing my GP every two weeks from 28 weeks like everyone else but although it`s a practice and i have seen 2 different GP`s they have both been measuring me wrongly!!!!
I have also been seeing a specialist( Professor) every 2 weeks alternatively for scans and other tests I then mentioned to the Prof and he measured me last week and he says i bang on target and not measuring 39weeks when i am only 34 weeks.
I am going to see my GP at 35 weeks should i correct her when she`s measuring???? or just ignore what she says???

Everyone person measures you differently so I would just ignore the GP

If you've been seeing a specialist as well then you're probably ok. I would check that your mat notes have the right information in though, I've had to argue with the midwives (cos I've seen a different one each time) about how far along I am because she couldn't work the wheel thing properly!
