Midwife Appointment

[DebbieM]

Had a Midwife appointment this morning. Flump is now 2/5 engaged so still a bit more to go. I shall be bouncing up and down on my birthing ball like a loony now to make sure s/he gets and stays further down! LOL

S/he has shifted sides which confirms why I have felt battered on the insides recently LOL! The big old bum is now to my left, rather than my right which is was 2 weeks ago!

Scary thing is... I don't see her again now til 6th March which is FOUR days before my due date! I might not even get to see her if I pop beforehand!

Oh, and I asked if she had any idea about an approx weight and she said around 7lb plus(ish) as of now. Arghhhhhh! She explained about them laying down the brown fat in the final 4 weeks so now I'm scared I'm gonna have a big baba! LMAO

Good news that Flump is getting further engaged. Its good that all is going well for you and lo. Not long for you to go now until you have Flump!! The wait is getting exciting Its mad not having midwife appts until you are so close to your due date. I would love to have my lo before the next appt on Monday

I wish I had more midwife appts as they make me feel reassured that everything is going well. I have been walking about a lot this week and got my birthing ball so I have been bouncing on it. I hope she has engaged further by my next appt.

How engaged was she at your last appt Crystal?

 

[crystabell]

Only 1/5th engaged at the last midwife appt which was 2 weeks ago almost. I have had some really strong pains low in my pelvis and also bad back pain so hopefully she is getting further down. Still keep having shooting pains low down too so hopefully she will get a wriggle on and decide to come soon. Fingers crossed

Long baby.. long baby... long baby...

That MF is great. I jumped up while Debbie's belly was exposed on the gurney thingy and asked how the baby is lying. She was very patient and explained it all.
