I'm getting loads of kicks one day and then it all goes quiet for a couple of days. I'm worried and mentioned it to the Dr, but she didn't seem particularly bothered at the time. I plan to ask her next week at my next check up what they consider 'normal' and when to go back in if I think there's reduced movement. Atm, I think part of it is because he's transverse lie, so he's diagonal with his head down by the bottom of my stomach and feet up by my ribs. It's a bit weird because you can see it now from the outside as he's got bigger; when I look down on my stomach, it's all lopsided!
In other news, I am dragging my manager to talk to me about maternity cover. We're going through an org re-structure and I think I could end up with a new boss; as a result, I'm trying to get my current one to commit (in principle and in writing...) to my maternity handover and leave proposal, especially as I'm asking to be considered for unpaid leave of absence to extend my leave period.
