Had my 37 week check-up...


...this morning, and everything went well again. BP 130/70 (nice and normal still!), urine clear, Bean's heartrate nice and strong at about 140-150bpm, head still 3/5 engaged....

...but now I'm measuring 42 weeks!!!! OMFG!!!!

And the even scarier thing is, the approximate weight according to the growth chart the midwife plots on is 10lb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (although I know to take that with a pinch of salt!!)

So Morgan Rae Bennett, listen to your mother.... get thee out NOW damnit, cuz how much bigger can you get in another 3 weeks!!!!!!

She referred me to a consultant when I was 33wks as I was measuring 38wks even back then.... Doc said they don't bother doing scans for "big" babies as there's not much point?!! Said they will just monitor me during labour, and if they feel things aren't progressing properly, then they will intervene?!!!

Bloody great eh?! Why can't I live in Devon with Hols and be induced like her?!

My OH just rang me off his lunch break to see how I got on... and when I told him, he said "You'll probably end up having a 14 pounder!"

To which I replied, "Nooooooooooo, I don't want to end up on the news!!!"
