Midwife appointment 37 +1 promising news!! Also anybody given birth in Aberdeen??

[skimpy]

Hi Girls. wasnt sure what to expect today as the midwives here are pretty useless sometimes, but measuring 36 weeks (was measuring 2 weeks ahead for past wee while) and baby's head is 1/5 engaged.

Hoping this is a good sign for not going overdue as babys head often doesnt engage til labour with second pregnancies. just need to wait and see now, but a lot happier than last week

anyone on the forum given birth in Aberdeen? just moved here and a bit nervous about it, heard mixed reviews. On a positive note, they appear to have a midwife led unit where i am booked in to and all going well, this is where i will have the baby. been told it is very relaxed and stress free.

If anyone has experience of aberdeen or midwife led units in general, I'd love to hear from you

Thanks Girls xxx

Yay for positive appt! Seb was 3/5ths engaged at 37 weeks and isn't engaged at all now! Doh!

Haven't given birth at Aberdeen but if I have to go to hospital it's a midwife led unit and it seems lovely x hope that someone can share their experience with you x x

So do i! Cant wait to go for a bath and see what is going on...

i was doing the washing up after tea and felt something strange, like baby moved, but also a dropping sensation. cant really describe it but i dont have feet in my ribs any more

The rib flare still hurts but no feet making it worse
