33 Weeks

I am now 33 Weeks and feeling uncomfortable more often. This picture is awful but its nice to keep pictures of what I look like. Bump looks like its getting bigger. Not long not looking forward to the pain.

WOW the nursery looks great

Mum, Dad, Steve and Myself converted the old study into this beautiful Nursery. Dad and Steve removed the fitted wardrobe they looked knackered once it was pulled out. I painted the walls with Mum and Steve's help. When we had finished painting Dad put up the jungle themed wall paper. When the decorating was complete we all helped with putting the furniture in. Steve and I enjoyed putting the animal stickers on the painted walls. We are now just waiting on the baby. It looks great for a little boy. All I can say to Mum and Dad at the moment is THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

What a silly thing to do.

Monday 29th September I started to empty the room beside mine and Steve's so we could start getting it ready for the baby's arrival. I moved a box and put it beside the unit in our bedroom. I then decided to sit down for 10 minutes and when I stood up I forgot the box was there, walked a couple of steps, you can guess what happened next I went arse over tit right onto my belly on the floor. Yes me being clumsy once again. I landed more on my left side and god it hurt. Steve ran straight towards me rolled me over and called the hospital. They advised for the safety of the baby I was to come in and have a trace done.
The baby hadn't moved and by the time we got to the hospital I was trying to stay relaxed. I was put on the trace for 45minutes and told that everything was OK. The attitude of the midwife did not convince Steve or myself that the baby was OK.
The following morning I woke up in pain from all the bruising and my tummy was so sore. I spent the day with mum and relaxed did little movement because I was hurting. By 16:30pm I realised the baby hadn't moved much all day and when he did it felt weak. I called the hospital back and explained what I was feeling, the fall I had, the fact I was uncomfortable and hadn't felt that the baby move much. They advised once again to come in and have a trace done. I was on the machine for 30 minutes and the baby had not moved and his heart rate had dropped below 100bpm on a couple of occasions. The midwife calmly asked for the doctor to come and check the trace and he looked a little concerned. He decided to keep me on the machine for another 20-30 minutes and in that time the trace started to look better and he had started to move. The doctor then felt comfortable with sending me home.
Now 32 weeks and 1 day I had my community midwife appointment she checked the heartbeat and where he was laying. The heartbeat was good and the baby is laying head down. She could still move the head so he is not engaged. She also measured my tummy and I am measuring at 33 weeks. Its all getting so close now.
