Just back from MW at 30+6. All is well. Baby's HB was 120-125, clearly asleep as I only felt twitches and MW wasn't worried that it was low. My BP was a little low too, 80/50 but again she wasn't worried - at least it's not high! She gave me some Spatone to try to build up my iron and reassured me that my reading of 10.4Hb and 5 ferritin was ok but now is the time to build up iron reserves hence the supplements. My fundal height was 29cm which is pretty much spot on the middle line of my growth curve (at 40 weeks my predicted fundal height is only 37cm). So far I'm still on track for a predicted weight of 8lb4oz.
She had a feel and thought the baby was still transverse but then said she thought she could feel a knee at the side quite low down so unless the baby has enormously long legs I'm not convinced either that it was a knee or that the baby is fully transverse. Anyway, she said they wouldn't worry about the baby's position until 36 weeks and she recommended a birthing ball which I should be getting on Wednesday.
She had no suggestions for my crappy sciatica I know have down my right leg. Booo...
So generally all is good, even though I feel really crappy! I slept ok last night so that's something, though all my joints are suffering as a consequence of not having moved around much.
