Congratulations, isean! :)
The HV will probably just be coming around to introduce themselves and drop off a load of leaflets and information, dobedobedo. I had an antenatal visit last time around, I think it was when I was 30-something weeks.
My HV didn't go beyond the lounge, we just sat and had a chat for half an hour or so. She asked stuff like whether I was intending to breastfeed, whether I'd got a place for the baby to sleep, etc. Some HV's get a bad rap, but mine was fine. Not judgemental, just curious and making sure I had the necessary information/support for my decisions.
I think there were a few questions as well to check that I wasn't in an abusive relationship and wasn't struggling with depression. Those can feel a bit invasive, but I'd rather they asked me unnecessarily than not offer the help/support to someone who needed it! I just said no, everything was fine, and the HV ticked it off in her book without further ado.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my iron levels should be fine, I expect they'll be checked at my 28 week appointment in two weeks. Or I guess they might check them when taking the blood for my GTT on Friday. I took a course of iron tablets before falling pregnant, so my levels were ~140 at the start. (My MW was impressed-!) Since morning sickness has passed, I've been taking 1 sachet of Spatone each morning with fruit juice to try and keep the levels as high as possible.
Though speaking of morning sickness, it seems to be creeping back. :( It doesn't help that I'm struggling with insomnia and perpetually tired. I might have to see if I can persuade my work to let me work from home one day a week, as I'm beginning to struggle.
For movements, I found last time and again this time that my LOs don't seem to follow a 24 hour cycle. I seem to get 2-3 days of peace and quiet where I just feel a couple of small wiggles each day, followed by 2-3 days where they spend the entire time pummelling my insides. (Today I'm a punching bag...) Does anyone else find the same?
Has anyone else's LO found themselves a favourite position? DD2 seems to like having her head nestled in my pelvis and her bum up against my bellybutton while she kicks under my right arm. That's where I feel the majority of movement now, though she does still vary occasionally! I seem to recall DD1 was similar, so maybe the way my organs lie just makes that a comfy position for them!
