Morning all, what a lovely day!
I just had a
VERY scary thought! Today is September so that means that
NEXT MONTH I will hit 37 weeks and be classed as
FULL TERM
We have had some scares (well done Anna for keeping your legs crossed) but us Sparklers have managed to hang onto our bubs so far but next month, we are bound to have a few that just can't wait!
I am measuring a week ahead but my midwife says that is more to do with the size baby will be when born rather than it will be early. So far Herbert is heading towards 8lbs.
I can not bend over now, it is not helping that Herbert is transverse so I have a head sticking out one side and a bum the other! Bending down is one thing, reversing a car is another and it is getting a little bit tricky to get my body round to see where I am going.
I am definitely booking a water birth for hospital (fingers crossed no one else gets there first as there are only 2 pools) I am already finding that if I have back ache at the end of the day, I nice warm bath really soothes it. I am also thinking of hiring a Tens machine too but I am not sure if that will mess with my Hypnobirthing so I will have to check that one.
Has anyone starting thinking about writing up their birth plans? My midwife has said now is a good time to start writing notes. She also says I should start thinking about my hospital bag, I have bought the bags, I just need to fill them now!
