I am 36+3 but my midwife has referred me for an emergent growth scan because she is only measuring at 32 weeks. This is my second and I’ve never had anything like this before, I’ve already been seeing the consultant as it’s a high risk pregnancy because of complications with the labour of my first. This just adds to the pile of things to worry about! She also said the baby is on my right side in a position that isn’t classed as very safe for natural labour and she would prefer her to be on my right side.
Has anybody else had this? I’m trying not to worry but 4 weeks smaller at this stage seems very scary to me. She did say that she was very engaged but I am still feeling lots of movement all the time so she can’t be too far down
Just feeling very anxious

Calm down, see what they say at the scan. Measurements can be far off!
I wouldnt worry on the side she is in, as you said they still move about a lot at this stage so it’s not like thats where she will stay or be until labour! Left side is preferible but right side is second best anyway!

The other day I measured off chart above the 100th centile, panicked massively as they started speaking about induction etc but then I went for a growth scan and little lady was 31st centile. Opposite way round to you but hopefully may give you a little peace ❤️
