I'm Currently Feeling:  | Babies positions!
I had my 34 + 4 appointment today!!!
My bp was 130/92 (which is my highest yet) but protein from wee has gone so they were happy for me to go home!! However I am being monitored for my bp and will have another appointment same time next week instead of 2 weeks  which is cool!!!
Baby has completely moved sides.... for the first time she is laying on my right... but although is head down is still completely free!!
When does babies normal start to engage....!?!  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I don't think some babies engage until the very last  Hannah's head down but I don't know that she's engaged even at my stage (not had any pains or anything and they haven't told me she's engaged  ). Definately going to have some questions for the OB on Weds!
Glad your appointment went well! Even though your BP was up.  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Sometimes I wish pregnancy and babies were completely text book.... so for instance...
37 weeks (all babies will engage) it would be so much easier to understand lol!!!
I mean even though our due dates are just over 5 weeks apart Vickie.... if I came at term and you went to 42 weeks (of course your not going to ) we would have our babies in the same week!!! Its a waiting game once you get to 37 weeks and I dont think Im going to like it lol!! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Kerry I would die if you and I had our babies on the same day  Not that I'd mind sharing birthdays but I'm ready for this to be over 
And you're right it is hard, because you can't say it happens this way, because it doesn't for everyone |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | i had a midwife appt yesterday (well, midwife came to see me) and she told me my baby is totally engaged now and won't be engaging any further until i go into labour. my baby started engaging at 32 weeks but i don't think it means all the much to be honest, so wouldn't worry about it.
try not to worry about your bp - mine was 150/111 at one point! that is why i am on drugs now that make me feel like i am with the fairies and sleep all day! my bp on the drugs it is at 130/83 which isn't too great either.....they are speaking about increasing my does (god help me i say!).
