We’re now 35+3 and all is fine apart from the SPD. I’m now on crutches with that and having acupuncture, which to be honest, I don’t think will do much in the short space of time that I have left. I didn’t enjoy the session, it hurt. If anyone ever tells you that acupuncture is painless, they are lying! The needles going in were fine but then they twiddle them and OMG, ouch! I have another session next week and I won’t be looking forward to it at all!
Anyway, we had our 35 week midwife check up this morning. Everything was fine and dandy and she found no problems which is always good. We saw a different midwife, Sylvia, as our usual one, Jo, was off today.
I have to admit that at first, she looked a little scary but I have honestly never met a nicer woman! I loved her and I wish I could see her every single time!
She took time to actually explain which position Flump is laying in (bum to my right and legs to the left) and told us that she was listening to the heartbeat basically through the shoulder. We were amazed at how low down the shoulders actually are at this point.
She also made my day by telling us that Flump’s head is now 1/5 engaged which means that 4/5′s are free (that’s what they write on your notes – it can be quite confusing actually!). I was hoping she would say that he’s engaged as that is a good sign! Woohoo!
It has kind of made it feel like we are nearing the end now and it’s even better when everything else is as it should be.
Next big thing is the nursery furniture which is due to arrive on Monday evening. As soon as it is all together I will be posting pictures. I am so excited! We have waited months for this!
