35 week scan today

[Fly]

Had a scan earlier which was a growth scan happy to report that little man is head well down facing me bum he is measuring slightly bigger than average but well within what's considered normal Saw his little heart hammerin away in there and sonographer pointed out what looked like little shiny dots around his head. she said tis his hair that was quite magical seein that no bloody wonder i been gettin savage heartburn lol

On the flipside of that, we were greeted in antenatal by a midwife with an urgent message for my mum to go round to A n E cos my grandma has suffered a stroke this morning so has been rushed into hospital. We had the scan straight away then were shown straight through to A n E. The doc was just fillin my mum in when i got there... she's just starin at the wall but was makin some movements with her legs and grunting when i spoke to her. She's 87 bless her.. had a tumble at home a few weeks back which we think was probably a milder stroke than she's had today. So any prayers or positive thoughts you can spare my grandma would be much appreciated x x x x

that she gets to meet her second great grandchild and hope and pray that she stays with us to meet her third great grandchild next spring.

Been quite a day so far.

Thankyou both

I just remembered .. we saw little man makin breathing motions which the sonographer was really happy about she said they practice their lungs by panting them in and out but obviously they don't breathe anything in - just kinda exercise the muscles - was lovely seeing him doing that

So glad your scan went well. That's amazing that she could pick out the hair. Makes it feel so much more real! Did they give you an estimated weight at this stage?

Hope your grandma is ok

Sorry to hear about gran. Hope she gets better soon. I'm sure she will.

Congrats on the scan and sounds like LO is making the most of his time in there. Not one to get bored

Thankyou everyone just spoke to me mum again - my grandma is now on a medical assessment unit and will stay there tonight cos not any beds on the wards as yet. She's asleep now - mum's kinda expectin a phone call in the night - what will be will be - thankyou for all your thoughts xxxx

Lynsey: They didn't give me an estimated weight no - she said he was slightly bigger than the average for 35 weeks but well within what's considered normal so erm... i am thinkin maybe he's about 5 pound sommat at this stage? maybe a bit heavier i dunno he bloody well feels like he's got legs as long as a giant though
