I have this they are seeing me every week I’m currently 32 weeks but baby is measuring 2 weeks ahead. I’m so uncomfortable I’m scared he’s head down and they say great doing ok in there but the way they are treating me you think it was the worst thing ever!!! I have gestational diabetes not serious so I’m also scared.
