Home from our midwife appointment!!!
Thought it was going to be a quick one today, Kyle came, and we went through the normal stuff, no stinging when I wee, no puffiness on hands or feet, no pains or anything unusual, did the blood pressure, made the appointment for next week, and I was thinking great, the one week Kyle makes it nothing happens, but then we had a listen/feel for bub.
She felt bub was certain head was down, back to the side like normal, but she couldnt find the heartbeat! even held bub in place, but just for the sake of it she moved the doppler to other spots on my belly, and lo and behold, she found it up higher, and she started to laugh a little nervously, and Im like Oh no what's that mean, and she said that if the heartbeats up there maybe its head up bum down not the other way around! AHHHH!!!
So she went and got a doctor in, (meanwhile I am freaking out thinking Im going to have to get a C-section when the time comes!) and he brought in the portable ultrasound machine thingy, and they had a look.
DEFINATELY HEAD DOWN! *huuuuuuuuuuge sigh of relief* Kyle got to watch the whole time, I didnt get to see a thing, screen wasnt facing me :( They measured the head, and I am guessing it was all normal, Kyle said he saw the number 17... so dunno if that was the measurement... does that even sound right? The doctor said there was lots of good "pockets of fluid" as he moved around the bub. Had a quick look at the heart, and the bladder, and everything was all good! yay! Kyle said bub was moving its arms around alot! hehe.
Next appointment is booked for next wednesday! I will be 38 weeks then! OMG!
OH, and my swab was good, no strep b for me! aaaand my haemoglobins are on the low side but nothing to be worried about.
Placenta is to the side at the front.
HAHA OHHHHH and, KYLE had to have his needle ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaa!! He got his boostrix shot then and there, sucker, now he's whinging that his arm hurts.
Hmmm, I think that's all that happened.... if I forgot anything I will come back and edit the post haha.
