39 weeks
Well I have been on maternity leave for about 3 or 4 weeks now and we have reached 39 weeks, baby is still no further engaged then it was 4 weeks ago so it is just a waiting game. Really enjoying maternity leave been catching up with friends and my family, organising the house and making sure everything is ready to go!
I have now packed my bags ready to go to hospital - one for labour, one for baby and one for me afterwards, I am hoping to stay at home as long as I can as hospitals freak me out! And I wasn’t overly impressed by my local hospital when I was having horrible dizzy spells and had to go in, my midwife has been really supportive and said if she is on shift she will come and check me at home. I also have a scary meeting with my fertility specialist Wednesday as mine doesn’t like clomid pregnancy to go past 40 weeks and likes to induce mothers but I don’t want to be induced and my midwife said there is no need for me to be induced and she will do a sweep this Friday so as I need to support as I have no balls in standing up to people I am taking my mum with me as husband has to work.
My baby’s bednest is now up - for co sleeping it should last the first 6 months then we will buy a proper cot but I think it is really cute. Also been working on my belly book of my bump picture for each week - it was brought for me by a friend on a forum I post as I love it and managed to get it finished last week. We also did a belly cast so we can remember how big I was
So that has pretty much been the last few weeks - just going to appointments - taking husband to appointments (he had his wisdom tooth removed and then had an MRI for his back which came back clear) and spending time with my brothers mostly as one has come back from university and the other is on school holiday.
Happy 39 weeks to me and hopefully the next post should be when the baby is here! Eeek!
