28-1-2009 - 7th Midwife Appt + 4th Antenatal Class (34 weeks)

My mood while writing this blog: Fine

Had my 34 weeks check up this morning and all appears well. Measuring 34cm and baby's heartrate is 130-140. The midwife checked the baby's position today and firstly said that she could feel the head low down and it felt like the baby had started to descend. Then when she poked and prodded a little more, she was unsure as to whether that was the baby's head or arse! Which I felt was a little insulting to Baby Fig! She's written '? breech' in my notes and said that she will check the position again in 2 weeks time so hopefully baby's body parts will be a bit easier to identify by then! If baby is breech, I'll have to have a positioning scan at 37 weeks but after that, I'm not sure what happens! I know there is plenty of time for baby to flip if he/she is breech, I'm just so worried that they'll try + manually move the baby round (which to me, sounds horrific!) I think I'd rather have a C-section!! I think I'm getting carried away..I'm sure it won't come to that! :)

Also had my last antenatal class this afternoon. It was just with the health visitor and physio. The HV discussed cot death + prevention, post-natal depression and the visiting patterns of the midwives and health visitors once the baby is born. She also told us that when the last baby of the group to be born is 6 weeks old, there will be a post-natal reunion, which will be a nice chance for us to meet again + meet all the babies!

Hope you are all well.

Take care
