Just back from midwife appointment


Just got back from my 30+4 week midwife appointment.

Blood pressure is fine although I do have some swelling to my hands, so had to take my rings off until swelling goes down. Had bloods taken to check iron level again.

The only concern she had was I am measuring 32 weeks but been told im having another small baby. I have an appointment in 2 weeks with the consultant and possibly another scan to double check.

She also thinks baby has moved head down now (has been lying breech - feet down) and back to my left side, but they will not attempt to turn her at all now if she is breech.

So now have to wait another 2 weeks to see what consultant says but everything looks good and its is Braxton Hick contractions I have been having, I wasnt sure as never had Braxton Hicks with other 3 pregnancies.

And the best bit (apart from hearing baby's heartbeat) is I have a higher chance of going full term now too as I was told I was high risk for premature labour again.

Sounds good!!! Hopefully she is now head down and you won't have to worry about her being breech!
