consultant and physio appointment

[rach]

hi everyone hope you all had a lovely christmas
had consultant appointment today had growth scan baby is a right little porker he is way above what he should be and everything is looking really good blood flow from placenta to baby was excellent
so looks like all is going to plan still at moment
consultant sent me straight down to physio unit with a letter and they seen me there and then and have now been diagnosed with spd
got some exercises to do and they have fitted me for a belt although they have to order it so got to go back on 4th of jan
got to see consultant again in 4 weeks then every 2 weeks after that so they can keep a closer eye
we have a lovely scan of the babys face looks very strange never had such a detailed photo from scan before will try and scan it later or 2moro to show you all xxxxxxxxxxxx

I've just logged on to check cause I thought your appointment was today. I'm really pleased that everything is okay, and LO is putting on the weight! Charlie apparantly was a porker, but he was only 7lb 8oz when he was born at 39 weeks!

Bummer about the SPD. Listen to what the physio tells you, don't do anything too strenuous, DON'T ATTEMPT to push a supermarket trolley (that's what teenage kids are for! ), and put your feet up as much as possible. Get yourself a full length body pillow - I found it a godsend in bed.

Take care hun.

thanks everyone
sorry missac been struggling to deal with everything over xmas and spent a lot of time at the cemetary trying to make jamies grave special
hi amanda it appears baby has a big belly like mummy lol im 24 wks pg babys bones and head were measuring 26 wk baby and his tummy were measuring nearly 30 wks so if he continues like that hes gonna be a right little porker lol
got a full length body pillow a few weeks ago but it appears ive been using it wrong ive had half in between my knees which was right and the other half supporting my back physio said i should support my bump with it to keep my hip from straining with the weight of bump if i need support for my back too i should use another pillow trouble is im running out of pillows and room in the bed lol
oh well as long as baby is ok i can cope with anything
hugs to everyone xxxxx
