small baby

In today’s episode we’re hearing from Minnie about the birth of her son Miles. Minnie fell pregnancy quickly and as an active person found the first trimester fatigue difficult. Despite feeling pretty good during the rest of her pregnancy she came up   against some challenges; from her 12 week bloods showing the baby had a high chance of having Down Syndrome to low PAPP-A levels and concerns around the baby’s size in the third trimester. As a result she had frequent monitoring and scans during the final weeks.

Due to the baby measuring small and her increasing blood pressure Minnie was advised to have an induction and she shares her decision making process that ultimately led her to choose a planned c-section for the birth of her son.
