So, the m/w took bloods - the typical ones that should have been done last week, but she's doing extra cos I had protein, glucose & ketones in my urine :( She isn't too worried being I'm only 3 weeks from EDD. She's testing for a urine infection as well due to my light-headednedd and headaches - and advised me to drink as much as I can and drink cranberry juice as it flushes the peepee system out.
My rash on my bump, she wasn't overly concerned but I've to go back next week instead of in 2 weeks so she can re-check. Blood pressure was fine. My iron count is 114, their cut off point is 106 so she'll get that checked again from today's blood - I pray I don't need to take iron! OMG @ the constipation!!
Baby's heartbeat was perfect, I have a slight temp and my skin is hot to touch but she thinks it's the rash and cold from last week. She didn't seem overly concerned at all. And if anything shows up, the worst case scenario would be induction of labour
Baby is head down, 4/5 engaged. He/she has their back down my right side, looking over to my left with limbs to the left. I knew that though, he/she has been that position since 28 weeks. Good wee soul!! All in, a fab app really. DH got to hear the heartbeat
I am glad that everything is going so well in your pregnancy. I hope that it continues to do so!
ReplyDeletefifi whats the HB?
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon! Glad you had a good appointment!
ReplyDeleteThe good things Is - I don't feel unwell! That's why I'm not concerned about these things. It must be normal for this late stage in pregnancy to have things present in your weewee, there;s such a strain on your body as you get so far along.
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit more sore today which makes me feel like I have to go to the loo more often. But I'm sipping water and will try to drink as much as I can today to help that. Otherwise I'm fab!!
The m/w didn;'t mention what the HB was this time but it's typically 140BPM.... meant to indicate boy?! Who knows!!!
