36 wk mw appointment.

my usual midwife was off sick which i was dissapointed about but the one i seen was lovely anyways

everything went pretty good. i didn't give in a urine sample though, i tried before the appointment, and i was holding the sample bottle to catch the pee, but when i had finished, i had only managed to quarter fill the bottle bad aim it's hard when you can't see though!!

when she asked about fetal movement, i mentioned that he hadn't been as active as usual the last week or so.. so she's booked me in for a CTG heart trace thingy on baby tomorrow his heartbeat was fine on the doppler, but she said just to be on the safe side.

she took my blood which was fine, and my weight, 90kg my booking weight was 73kg and baby is 3/5 engaged

a good appointment all in all. just hoping everything goes ok at the trace tomorrow.. i can feel him moving, it just doesn't seem to be as much as he used to, he's been a very active baby so far anyone else experienced this problem?

hope you are all well ladies

Yay for the 3/5! good baby!
I wouldn't worry about the trace, she's probably just covering herself and it'll be a good reassurance for you xxxx

Sounds like everything is on the right track, good luck for tomorrow

Sounds to me like all is well. My LO slowed down the last few weeks. Not so much room to wriggle Also I found I did have lots of movements, just much much smaller, so if I was doing something I really did not notice them. I would rest my hands on bump for 5 minutes and feel them ever so gently.

BTW, 1/4 pot of pee will be enough Its only for a dipstick and they can wiggle it about. I've done less before and MW had managed to dip mine.

i was so mortified at missing the tube almost completely that i thought it would look pathetic handing her a quarter (if it was even that ) filled sample i'm going to hand one in next week anyways to have it tested
