Morning all!
Wow, the first baby's here! Congratulations on your little girl, Mojomummy! Short labour and home quickly - sounds perfect!
Saralou - hope you're coping.
Katylou - know what you mean about unpacking - we still haven't cleared our bedroom after redecorating, and that's where baby's supposed to go - absolutely no space yet. The loft awaits... I pity poor dh going up there in this weather!
Booby - so glad you're anxiety is improving, and it's good you have your appt at last with the mental health team.
My news - went for a scan on Wednesday - baby hasn't got the problems ds had (has a good amount of fluid, and there's no problem with cord and placenta). However, baby's abdominal circumference plotted under the 5th centile, so the growth curve (in only that area) isn't right - other measurements show baby is small, but otherwise in good proportion. Consultant has booked me in for another growth scan in 2 weeks - if no improvement, I have to have an early section within a couple of days of the scan, so I'll have a 3 week early baby with possibly some problems. Am hoping it's only a blip and the sonographer got it wrong, as baby insists on being in awkward positions for scans.
In the meantime, I have to count foetal movements, stopping when I get to 10 each day. Fortunately, baby is dancing around a lot, so I'm pretty confident all is fine in there. Is moving far more than ds did.
At least I'll now be motivated to get a hospital bag ready, just in case of another early arrival!
