Final Scan to check placenta

[amandapanda]

And guess what? I no longer have a low lying placenta!! It has moved right up! Where it was 0.5cm covering the cervix it is now 6cm up - woo-hoo!! So that's me treated as a 100% normal birth now - after all the hospital admissions, threats of premature labour and talk of early c section I am in fact as normal as everyone else now

Baby is massive!!! 4 weeks ago he was 4lb - now he is 6lb 5oz!! Doc says he expects he'll weigh around 9lb at birth - eeek!!! he's on the 97th percentile for growth so is the very top end of the normal range - he's a right little chubster! I'm rather scared of getting him out I must say!! And am now thinking he probably won't fit into any of his gorgeous newborn clothes

Had a urine test and they found blood, white blood cells and protein so they've sent it off to the labs. Could be a urine infection or possibly just normal discharge in the urine apparantly. I've been wondering if I have a slight infection as am feeling very achy in my bladder, but thought it may be baby just pushing on it.

Oh yes and he's head down!! Getting ready to launch in 5, 4, 3 , 2.......1 xx

I think mine is long AND chubby Lou, lol. He is 97th percentile for abdomen circumference and femur length. His daddy is 6ft 5!! Think he's got daddy's long legs and my fat belly, lol. Oh well, he'll come out one way or another - knew my child bearing hips would come in useful one day!! xxx
