Midwife appointment

[TORino]

Had my 36 week appointment today.

Midwife FINALLY listened to the heartbeat. Hallelujah lol.

fundal height is 36 and she has written ceph 4/5 so I guess this means baby is head down and a teeny bit engaged?

I'm being tested for OC because of the itching but she doesn't think I'll have that because I had a liver function test a while back and it was normal.

Last day at work tomorrow and fully baked Saturday so life is cushty at the min

Yeh think 4/5 is slighty engaged, it goes to 1/5 i think doesnt it?? When fully engaged? xx

 

[Jessywoohoo]

yep your baby is every so slightly engaged! whoop whoop heading in the right direction!

Bet you can't wait to finish work hun. I didn't realise how tired I was getting until I finished last Friday, I have really enjoyed my first week of mat leave.

Has the itching settled down after your trip to the docs last week? x

Coolbeans - I can't wait to finish work no! Lol, I'm so looking forward to a sleep in

Beckyboo - the itching has calmed down on my stomach a bit but has spread to my hands and legs now

I have little hives all over
