.... I wish I could have a week or so without stressing...
a day was planned of not a lot... how that changed...
I text my community MW last night to say that I was still struggling with my pee, and what should I do as the last samples were clear, and also that last week at the routine 34 week checks I measured 30cm, only 1 cm more than at 29 weeks, the midwives didn't seem overly concerned but there was a niggle I guess...
... was expecting a text back to say stop being daft, but go to GP to check pee out again... instead I got 20 questions, but still didn't seem particularly concerned. I was then on the phone to my hospital MW at the same time that a text arrived from community, both at the same time said to go down to the hospital now... text comm MW back who was somewhat relieved that I was not hanging on a few days to see whether my bladder improved or not...
anyhow, went down, urine clear but another sample has been sent due to the pain.
Got measured, 30cms again, MW managed to get me in for a growth scan an hour and half later
, at this point I freaked... DH ended up leaving work instead of just coming to see what was happening and MW was not happy for me to leave the department to wait... they managed to slot me in a bit quicker and everything is fine, still measure slightly above the 50th centile on most things, est weight is 5lb 8 , placenta appears to be doing its job with good blood flow and enough fluid... so who knows where I am hiding Pip... oh and is head down...
DH wasn't to impressed that his afternoon was spent sorting out the last random bits from boots, being dragged round babies r us and then ikea...
hoping that day 2 is slightly less stressful

oh dear what a stress! Glad to hear the scan went well, you must have an amazingly snuggly baby who can curl up small 
(and actually I would still use it...)
luckily the 2nd midwife was much calmer about it all otherwise I think she wouldve rushed me in! This type of behaviour doesnt bode well for my hypnobirth!!!
