The Ob/Midwife (never know what/who these people are that I see LOL - different person every time) today was the nicest I have seen so far this pregnancy! Last appointment was awful and I wasn't even asked how I was feeling or whether I had any concerns/questions. This Ob/Mid went through all of my history, asked many questions, checked up on all tests and ultrasounds, asked how I was going, whether I had any questions, explained everything as she went along and told me what appointments are coming up. I couldn't believe how good she was - it was as if she actually cared *gasps* LOL.
36 week bloods - apparently these were good.
Blood pressure - at first she used the automatic one - 144/86 or something! We both said at the same time 'that's a bit high'. So I suggested maybe the cuff was too small or something, so she used the manual one and it was 120/80 - phew!
Swelling - she pressed on my ankles and said I have a little bit of fluid there, but nothing serious. I know my rings are a little tighter now!
Fundal height - measured roughly LOL - 40 weeks.
Bub's heartbeat - took a while to find, but nice and strong once she found it!
Bub's position - she 'thinks' that's a head down there.
So she said I was to go back in a week, so next Monday. Then at 40+5 they will do a stretch and sweep, and talk about inducing 5 days after that. But she said with a spontaneous labour with Charlotte, the strong BH and cervix pain, it probably won't come to that.
I think I can safely say, bub will be here by - at the latest - the 28th! Oh my goodness!!
