Yay Peachy And congrats on the interview
Re: movements - I have felt "something" for a week or so, tends to be mid afternoon to evening, just this wierd sensation a bit like a twitching muscle crossed with someone pressing me from inside. Which I know doesn't make sense, but that's how it feels.
Re: checks etc so far, I had a few scans early on, so the one at 11 weeks counted as my dating scan. I saw m/w at 10 weeks when she tested urine and did blood tests for Hb as well as HIV etc. Saw m/w again last week at 17 weeks, she should have taken bloods for AFP but I didn't want to get results whilst dh was away (in Japan for 11 days), so I am having those next week....
Had a private nuchal at 13 weeks, just as an add on to the reassurance scan we had (to make sure evrything was OK post-12 weeks)
There are national guidelines about what you should have and when, so don't be afraid to make a fuss!
Re: slings, I really fancy the close baby carrier, though would really like to have a play with one before I buy, they do look kind of fiddly? Worried I will drop the baby in the attempt to take the sling off
I've had quite bad back ache in the last few days, to the point where I almost got stuck in bed! But it's definitely at the base of my spine, which I assume means it's not SPD....
