32 week midwife appointment today

I had a great app! Blood pressure was fine, peepee was fine. She made a note in my records about my having the cold

She measured my bump It's 31.5 cm, she said it's 0.5cm less than "average" but it's perfect. Baby is perfect, and is head down still. I asked about my achy right-side ribs, she asked if I feel my movement in the same place all the time, I said yes, and did it feel like baby's movements were in that same place whilst she was prodding my bump - yes. She said, ok, it's a foot in your ribs I was so cnvinced it was a butt!!! She said our bottom rib is classed as a "floating rib"?! And baby's bits can often get stuck in between it and the next one up. Nice to know

Baby's heartrate was 140.

I had trace glucose in my tinkle, but she said it was my jammy toast I had for brekkie - oops!! All in all, a perfect appointment. back in 2 weeks

  1. I am glad that it was a good appointment. I know a girl that was sooo small in her bump measurement, but when they dated with u/s she was so far along and they had to induce her because she was tiny and overdue. It is a funny little thing the bump measure.

  3. Yup still working Tessy, 6 weeks left, but I have a week and a bit off from 24th Dec until 2nd Jan. Then back in for 2 full weeks and I'm done. Should do fine with that, I hope... I'll be 38 weeks when I finish up. I'm mad, huh?! LOL!! but as I do desk work, I should be fine. And if I'm not I'll tell them I'm finishing earlier. I'm not one for sitting at home doing nothing so would rather work as long beforehand as I can.
