Aww poor old DS figgy - hope he feels better soon. Sounds like he knows what he needs intuitively if he's asking to be put to bed even without dinner and milk! Can you see or feel any new ones popped through yet?
Well we just got back from seeing the obstetrician and I'm really glad we went - she did a full scan, checked every bit of my womb and abdominal wall to make sure there was no rupture along with the scar tissue tearing, and also measured the baby who is currently estimated, at 33 weeks, to be 2.9kg/6lbs7oz - according to the projections that means he could be over 5kg at term
Abdominal circumference and femur lengths also on the 95% line.
I wouldn't put too much store in it except for the fact that she's the same consultant who measured DS around 33 weeks last time and estimated his weight, and was bang on.
Anyway she said doing a section at 40 weeks is too late in her opinion and she will probably pencil me in for 38 weeks (week commencing 23rd September). Had I waited until 36 weeks to see her rather than going private she said the theatres would have been booked up and it would have been too late.
Nothing more they can do about the pain except give me more painkillers and advise SPD exercises, rest, no lifting etc so it looks like I will be a semi-invalid until then, but that's only 4 and a bit weeks away - the end is in sight!!!
And then I am never, never, positively ever doing this again, EVER. If I start having broody feelings, just slap me round the face a couple of times and remind me that around 34 weeks it starts going pear-shaped (or in my case, enormously giant pumpkin shaped).
