Thanks girls, I thought that the scans were very accurate as they use a formula based on various mneasurements, however after doing the dreaded google, it seems this is not always the case.

Have to wait and see I guess, oh well. I was just getting frustrated at getting different advice from different OBs re date of ceasar etc.

Hope everyone is going along well, I slept nearly all weekend, recovering from a huge week with my family lol. Back to work this week, ho hum.

(Im not mentioning weight gain either, but its waaaay more than 3kgs wink.gif )

I had an ultrasound weight estimate last time at 36 weeks and they estimates 3.8 kg at birth and she was 3.84kg! So not too far off.
myfirstbubba - if you read enough treads on EB you will find plenty of people that have had the ultrasound be very wrong on weight estimate to actual birth weight. I think in EB land I am an unusual one in that mine was pretty close. Try not to worry about it too much (which is easy for others to say I know).
I have to go and sort out DD, so will have to come back later to post other bits and bobs!

...another thing I have been meaning to share...

Raspberry Leaf Tea - I'm drinking it again wink.gif Thought I'd mention it, in case any first timers are not aware of it? It's meant to help tone your uterus and make for more efficient contractions. Are two relatively easy births, I'm too scared to not drink it!

Lots of people say they don't like the taste (you can take tabs too) but I quite like it. I do like herbal teas though, so maybe that helps.

Ah yes! I've started on the Raspberry Leaf tablets. I took the blackmores ones last time, am taking the Natures Own this time.

I feel they really helped with my last birth!
