Just got back from my appointment, hubby came with to this one so he could meet my new MW 
We are opting for a homebirth if all is well so he is reassured to have met her, had a chat, see if he feels confident in her and most importantly, to see if he liked what she had to say about homebirthing.
Result on all counts 8)
My fundal height is 30cm at 28 weeks. MW said amused that baby was a 'good size' but was not worried about being too big at this point. She had a good prod and squeeze of my tummy and felt LO's head right down on my pelvis and had me feel also. I felt it! It was, well, a strange thing, to feel your baby's head, and feel it turning. She pointed out where the hands and arms seemed to be lying and also that the feet at the top. So those pummelling sensations I am having right now down on my bits is LO's hands giving it some welly She said baby was a real wriggler. Don't I know it 
3 hours last night playing football with my insides Hubby was amazed at how forceful the kicks and so on were and LO went on for so long. Bit of a womb party was being had 
Bloods were taken. She wanted to test for blood sugar as well but no vials left for those, so will have it taken at my 34 week scan. Urine dip was fine though. BP was 120/65
And yes, I get a 34 week scan to check LO's growth etc and to be signed off by the consultant as ok for home birth. If I am not, I may have to argue my case, but MW is in my corner and said she can't see a problem at this point. So yay Looking forward to seeing my LO again
Ummm, I'm happy
Now to go eat a double choc chip cookie
