Feeling much better

Well i feel so much more at ease that bub is breech now. Linda has told me she will still support me if bub is breech at term and i wish to stay at home. I'm so relieved! I know there is lots more time for him to turn and stay head down but i'm not worried anymore.

Breech again!

ARGH! Bubbles is breech again today. Geezus there must be a lot of room in there for him to keep turning head down and breech every few days! It's so new to me because the other 2 we're head down and engaged by 29 weeks and definatly did not have the room to keep turning freely all the time. Obviously it means Bubbles is smaller than what they were at this time and hopfully he stays this way so i don't get another 9lb'er. But the kicks in the cervix and hips are driving me bonkers! He is a very active little one, so much more active than his siblings! I am a tad worried that he will stay breech at the end and i have just emailed Linda (my midwife) asking what'll happen exactly. I am pretty sure i can still birth at home but just need some reasurance.

Antenatal appointment

I had my antenatal appointment today. Bub was head down and heart rate was 142bpm. My blood pressure was 100/67 so still staying low which is nice.

My fundus was measuring 30cms and im 29+2 weeks so only a few days ahead which is so great because with the other 2 i was like 2 weeks head by now.

I have also lost another 1 kg. So that is 6kgs lost now and nothing gained. At this rate when Bubbles is born i won't weigh anything!

Jacob tells me i look like i have lost a lot of weight which is nice to hear! Might be easier to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight this time hopfully.

The belly!

Here's the latest belly pic. Damn stretch marks look nasty in this one :-(


To me it looks smaller than 2 weeks ago but it definatly feels bigger...hmm!

Today i have been getting a lot of rib kicks, ouch! Bubbles has been so active today.

I have another antenatal appointment next Tuesday and another appointment with my Doula in 2 weeks on 2nd December. Looking forward to those!

And eek it's nearly December! Only 3 weeks until Lily's 4th birthday and 5 weeks until Christmas! This will be the first time i'll be pregnant at Christmas, i wonder how i'll cope.

Beautiful baby

I had my 4D scan today. It was great especially since they come to your house!

He has grown so much and yep he is a he and proud to show his bits off! He has the cuuuutest chubby cheeks and his umbilical cord is so thick which great cause it means he is nice and healthy. Especially the fact that he has a lot of chub on him already. So that's just fantastic.

I got 45 minutes worth of DVD and 77 photos on a CD. I'll get the printed photos posted to me next week.

I thought i would be disappointed that it's definatly a boy but i am so so excited and even more excited about the homebirth now! I hope it hurrys up and that i don't go over my EDD!

Here's a few of the pics that were taken.

4D scan!

I have a 4D scan booked in for this Saturday! I can't wait to see how much Bubbles has grown and what he'll potentially look like! The package includes a 40 minute DVD of the session, a cd full of all the photos and 16 printed photos, plus we get to look at the gender in great detail just to make sure he is in fact a he. I'm so excited! Only 2 days to go!

Third Trimester!

Well I turned 27 weeks on Sunday and am now finally in the third trimester!! I can't believe how fast this pregnancy is going.

I'm feeling great. Still have a bit of nausea and heartburn and my blood pressure is a bit low but i have no swelling, i haven't gained any weight (infact have lost about 5kgs) I don't even feel pregnant most of the time. Getting lots of kicks too, it's just great!

Here is the latest belly pic of Bubbles taken at 26 weeks.
