Thanks for that hun
i'll do that if Mid wife hasnt got any.

cant belive i'll be dicussing birthing plans bit scary
im wanting a home birth but not living in a house is a bit tricky.
And i think id be more comfy in hospital then hear to be honest
James Dad, Step Mum, Step- mums dotty Dad, and James very strange and slightly creepy Step- Brother hanging around
no thank you

i would like to go to the midwife birthing center in Crowbough but that has limited spaces and is further away then Pembury hospital which is only 5 miles away.

but i'll dicuss it tommorow and see how it goes.

well im starting to think about it i want to get my head around what i want and what i can get ie
home birth pro's and con's
midwife birthing center will it be to far way? will there be spaces?
i want a water birth
will the hospital have one? and will it be avaliable?
ie is there more then one or do i have to fight for it with another lady in labour (i'll win im a nutty redhead she'll have no chance )

ect ect
so complicated

Enjoy your appointment today

It's great that in third tri we don't have to wait so long between them. There was 12 weeks between a couple of mine in second tri!

I'll be going through my birth plan at 36 weeks when I visit the mat unit

Good luck with your appointment, and dont worry if your fundal height measures big, mine did, but at the scan Theo is right on target

what is the bounty pack ? xx

 

[Geordie&Bairn]

All went well
Collier is right on target 28cm at 28 weeks
he was lying sideways and heart is strong and healthy
I asked about the bounty pack and the midwife said hear they give out a small one when you go into hostital in labour then the main pack you get when you leave the hospital after the birth
Not sure whats in it in detail just know it has good info and vouchers of baby stuff

Midwife said Collier was looking fantastic as she felt round my bump
and that i was looking really good too (loved her for that )

I asked her about my Allergie to Tree pollen and how i was concerned about reacting badly this year
( ive had very bad reactions in the past it set of my asthma and i needed steriods to stop me getting chest infection)
she siad the docs will not wont to give you anything unless the last resort but i may be given a nasla spray. ive started to notice im at the beginnings of my allergy kicking of so if it dose get worse i'll go see the doctors


Anyway 3 more weeks till the next appoinment then after that il see her every 2 weeks then every week.
She took loads of blood for tests but said my urine was fine .

also said to wait my next appoinmetnt to discuss birthing plans. im ok with that


fell over on the way to the doctor though i was in a ruSh as i was late getting out of work. i tripped up going up a curb on to the path and fell face first luckly i caught myslef in time and landed on my hands and knees.
bump wes fine just my pride and my hands where bruised

i Lady walking down saw me fall and had seen i was preggers (no hiding my Collier bump ) and came rushing over to help me.
she ws very concerned about me, lovELy women!!!!.
i was so embarrased
she insisted on walking me to the doctors and made me promise to tell them id fallin over. so sweet
i was fine and i knew collier was toO, just me feeling like a numpty for falling up a curb

 

[muppetmummy]

glad the appointment went well It's annoying how easily the bumps can put us off balance

 

[BeckyJ]

hope ur not too sore after falling over, get your feet up 2nite xx
