So I had a bit of a weird 28 week midwife appointment last week as, a) I forgot my file and b) it was a brand new midwife who had just come back onto community after two years out. Which meant I didn't have a urine test done (because she assumed the receptionist would give me a specimen pot?!) or anything else. So, being a nurse, my mum gave John & I a pot with a trillion dipsticks in and all these funky colour pads so we could tell what was what (protein, glucose etc). All ok on that front!
The midwife did check the baby's position and had a poke about my tummy, which caused our baby one to give her a swift boot or two. Clearly she had disturbed a moments peace! Usually, it's dad and mum that poke around for kicks! Anyway, she did mention (as did the doctor on Wednesday) how happy and lively our baby clearly was which was obviously lovely to hear. The baby is growing perfectly, well within the average range and my bump is measuring fine - no matter what certain M & S staff say.
On Tuesday morning I had my 28 week bloods, and guess what? I didn't panic once! As much as I hate needles, I don't want my irrational fear to be passed onto our child so I best get used to them now while they're not around to watch.
So now we're just waiting for my blood results...I'm hoping the glucose thing won't be an issue. No signs or symptoms of the diabetes thing yet!
