. DH says he is not coming till the due date. i told him that only like 5 or 1% of babys come on the due date so I doubt that.

yes not many of us left now! Had my mw appointment today-silly woman-haven't seen her before and 1) she said my wee looked bright-I said it's the vitamins I take-she asked me to check with my gp that they were safe in pregnancy (vit c, Folic acid, vit D and omega 3) my OH said it's a bit late for that being as im nearly 40 weeks and I added that they have been checked as ok from early on otherwise I wouldn't be taking them-plus they are recommended vits (?!!!). She then said the good thing about being a mw is that they don't have to know everything. ..wtf?! Talk about selling yourself and instilling confidence! 2) she listened to baby's hb- (im still 2/5 engaged as I was 2 weeks ago) - she said hb was fine, I said it sounded a little slower-she told me it ranged between 125-144 and I added 'yes and I suppose it does slow down a bit as they get older ie to 120'..no response. Sent on my way-oh she did say if I wanted baby to come to have a good row - total contradictory advice to nct where they said labour often starts once you completely give up trying to bring it on and start relaxing. She then phones me 30 mins later once I'd got to town and said she's been thinking about baby's hb and as im full term almost wants me to just get it checked out to be safe..ie she thought maybe it was a bit slow/decelerations showed. As baby was moving big time I said can I go in about an hour as had just got to town (needed some more rlt and bits-plus had just paid for parking! OH and I were going to get lunch too) she said she'd prefer it if I go within the hour-this is worrying I thought but at the same time I felt everything was ok. Bubs still moving like crazy. Got my rlt and off to hosp-mw there straight away said once I told her what happened that ive had a wasted journey and she was sorry-she said mw who told me to come in said baby showed 'decelerations'..and she explained that of course baby's hb will go up and down-especially when moving-and at 124 lowest there were no concerns-100 and below counts as a need for monitoring. Anyway she monitored me as I was there-baby fine! He was actually quite comical as SO active-I had to lie on my side to try and quieten him down ha ha so they could get a proper reading. It was so sweet-I hushed him and stroked my belly and he immediately calmed down
