I'm OK, I just haven't been on MN very much.
I had an appointment today, I am 31 weeks now too. Here they do a CTG every time and it was a bit strange today because the baby kept moving so the heart rate would go right up into the 140s and then drop off and go down to 110 or so but I think it was just where he'd move away from the monitor? I was trying to read my book but kept getting distracted which is probably why they offer to turn off the sound 
Anyway my doctor said it was fine which is the main thing.
I've started having braxton hicks, also confirmed fine/normal for this stage. She has started doing internal exams with a speculum which is a bit uncomfortable TBH and today gave me a bit of a contraction as well which was unpleasant and I was feeling a bit vulnerable about the whole thing, then she said my vagina looked a bit irritated so took a swab in case there's any infection, which she was very careful and clear to warn me would cause a bit of spotting but that it's only from that and I wasn't to worry. (It has caused spotting and I'm not worried). And I've been booked in with the consultant at the hospital to discuss our history and my birth plans - which means we've chosen a hospital, I suppose! 
So have been feeling a bit emotional and tired about everything and a bit fed up of having to have eleventy million tests (at least no blood test today but still had to pee in a cup and be weighed and have blood pressure done) and I feel a bit like just leave me alone! I miss the NHS hands off approach although I can see the benefits of lots of monitoring.
WRT hospitals we only went to one information evening in the end and I couldn't see the point in going to the others because we only understood about 30% and what we did understand, we weren't sure about. And they just said you can't make a private appointment until 34-36 weeks. So I'm going to the one without gas and air (eeeek!) but also where they don't make you get an IV cannula inserted no matter what on entry which was worrying me about the one which does have gas and air. My friends said this hospital is really very good for listening to you and discussing all of the options with you and that's something which really makes me feel safe and in control so I felt like that was a good factor. DH is quite keen on the birth pool room (having previously been totally panicked about the idea of a waterbirth) because it has nice swirly lights on the ceiling and he's worked out that this one being right next to a forest is great so we can go for walks 
I'm not sure I'll be up for that but why not. They do actually have family rooms there as well which might be nice if it's not too busy and we have the spare money.
Then this evening I realised (sorry everyone, TMI) that I've picked up threadworms from DS (yuck) and suddenly put two and two together that's probably where the irritation has come from. So major scrubbing and hygiene operation and then the sensation was bothering me so much I decided to look up what the risk really was from ovex and found it's only in the first trimester you can't take it. Thank fuck for that. So I am dosed up and the horrible little fuckers should all die and be gone and I've even ordered some more so I can re-dose DH and DS in a week or two because I do not want them in the house with a newborn.
I will finish work in 2.5 weeks which I am actually really happy about despite thinking that I would be bored or it would be way too early. I just have to muster up the energy to sort out handing over to whoever is taking over my various classes, I only know who it is for two of them.
