27-8-2009 - Midwife appointment, 17 weeks HAPPY!!!!!My mood while writing this blog:
HAPPY!!!!!



Hey everyone!

SO i had a slight hysterical fit when the midwife thought she would be late. Matt had to be at work for 2 and she said she would get here for 2 so i burst into tears thinking i would be on my own and that Matt would miss listening to the babys heartbeat!

What an idiot i felt when she turned up at 1 having moved another appointment to get here before 2 and i was still crying and having my tantrum, had to compose myself pretty quick and she could tell id been crying too!

Anyway did the urine sample which was fine and blood pressure which was 120/60 which she said was good. Then came the best bit - the heartbeat, yay! I was really looking forward to that bit, She said my belly was perfect size for 17 weeks and in perfect position. She tried low down for babys heartbeat as she said this is where they usually like to be, but my little tinker was hiding high up and took ages to find, but was so cute when finally found it, i couldnt be happier! The midwife said the baby was probably lying head facing upwards which is fine at this stage. I'm so happy!

Have decided to try breastfeeding for the first 6 months if i can, and next appointment is in 3 weeks to have my 20 week scan! Woo Hoo!

Couldnt be happier ladies, hope your all doing fabulously well!

Lots of love Kate and bump! x x x
