Now am 28 weeks and 4 days.
What's happened recently?
Had a bit of a worry when baby hadn't kicked or moved about for a day or so, so I went into the hospital and got a scan to check all was ok. The little blighter decided to kick away once I was getting the scan done though! So all was ok! She was practising breathing and gave us a smile whilst on-screen...was lovely :) the lady was so nice too.
Had my 28weeks midwife appointment, all seems to be measuring spot on, blood was taken, all seems fine. Baby is currently lying with her feet right at my ribs...but I knew that anyway. Jesus it's sore when she gets her wriggle on and starts kicking again and again. I have put on about a stone since the start of the pregnancy, which is apparently fine. Average weight gained is apparently 2stone over the whole pregnancy and 2thirds of the way through I've only done half of that.
No stretchmarks yet...been using my cream but am seriously expecting some to start appearing soon. My belly button has gone all weird and totally flat, half expecting that to pop out some time soon too...ewwww Outie belly button! YUCK! Supposedly if it does it'll pop back in though thankfully.
Had an antenatal class (missed the first one when I was off work sick), so this one was about being in the hospital and labour. We discussed pain relief, different types of births, what to take to hospital etc etc. Was a good laugh and the next one is for breastfeeding. Hopefully getting a space on the first one that I missed after xmas. I was all clued up on everything already though....I don't want an epidural unless I am really struggling, I really don't want to be bed-ridden. I'd like to be in the birth centre rather than the actual hospital, and I'd like to be in the birth pool if possible. But obviously I'm totally going with the flow when it happens, I have no idea how I'll cope etc so nothing is out of the question. I've pretty much finished packing my hospital bag too, only one or two more things to put in. Would rather be prepared early than caught off-guard!
Had a week signed off work as the doctor thought I was suffering with anxiety. Was having stomach pains after eating, breathlessness, heart palpitations and dizziness. Seem to be better now, but dizziness comes and goes still. Blood pressure, blood sugar and iron levels all fine so no idea why the dizziness happens. Was also having a few bad days unable to walk properly as my pelvis became really painful and kept grinding and cracking. Seems to have eased up now (except for first thing in morning), but have physio on Monday. Went back to work for 3 days and now I'm off for 2 weeks holidays. Thank god. Needed the rest.
Anyway, latest bump picture....its been AGES since the last one...feel a LOT bigger than the picture shows. Bending down, turning over in bed and getting up from lying down seems to be a struggle now! Will have to get kenny to help with socks/shoes/toenails etc soon! hahahaha he'll love that.
Also, latest baby purchase... so so so cute and so cheap from ebay!!
Right, now I better go start cooking my lovely lasagne for dinner. Hope it's good as I need to save some for our dinner tomorrow as well as my dinner tonight!
Ciao for now!
