@WeightoftheWorld Fingers crossed for you that baby gets itself in the right position in the next couple of weeks!
@CharlieBalf Another big baby, seems like there are a few of us who seem to be having chunky little ones on this thread! It's good that you've got your section booked and can bring it forward if you need to, even if it's only by a little bit. Fingers crossed all goes okay with your house move and everything, that's a lot to be dealing with when you get to full term!
I had my 38 week appointment this morning, was quite useful to chat a few things through with the midwife and all good apart from blood pressure being a little bit high so she wants me to go back next week for another check and a bump measurement. We had a chat about sweeps and she said I might want to consider a sweep next week if the fundal height measurement is showing off the charts, but otherwise we agreed to leave it until my 40 week appointment to worry about that. Baby seems to be doing well and is still in the right position (I definitely don't need the midwife to tell me it's head down, I can feel it in my pelvis whenever I'm standing up!). @Sara1988 I asked her about the period pain-type cramping that I've had a couple of times, which I remember you mentioning you were having - she said nothing to worry about, just the body practising and getting geared up for labour by contracting the muscles. I wasn't sure whether to worry about the fact that when I've had it it's gone on for 15-20 minutes at a time continuously, but she said it's all just the body testing out what it needs to do.
Still having a complete fiasco trying to get hold of the RSV vaccination - the midwife said the hospital were meant to start rolling it out this week but nobody has contacted me, and when I asked at reception at the GP practice the receptionist said pregnant women aren't even eligible for it! Can't believe how poorly informed she was - she had to ring the practice manager to get confirmation that I was right and should be offered it, then suggested I call them in 2 weeks' time to see if they have more in stock. Like, yes, I'm full term already and this baby might drop at any point but sure, I'll just wait a couple of weeks. 🙄
Hope everyone is doing well and has some nice things planned for this weekend - not too long to go now, ladies!
