28 weeks

28 weeks ♥

Hello third trimester! 

I had my 28 week appointment today up at the hospital. It went well. I'm measuring a week behind but the midwife, Brenda, didn't seem too concerned. She said she thinks it's just my frame because my bump is very neat. When she was feeling the bump to see what position the baby was in he kept kicking at her. He's head down - I hope he stays that way! I just need my placenta to be ok at my 34 week scan. She had a listen into the heart beat aswell and again he kept kicking at the doppler. His heart rate was 140bpm ♥ 

I also got to have a tour of the labour suite and post natal rooms. It's all been redocrated and it looks great. There is a huge birthing pool. Brenda also let me see all the equipment and explained it's only used if the baby has problems breathing when he's born but it rarely happens as you have to be low risk to deliver at the midwife led unit. She did say all the midwives there are trained to use the equipment if the need arises. I feel even more confident about having my baby there. 

I also got my form for the health in pregnancy grant so I'll need to get that sent away by the weekend. 

My next appointment is on the 30th December. I'll be 32 weeks. 

Here is the bump picture for this week.. 

Here is a bare one aswell.. 

It seems to look bigger uncovered. Or at least it does to me. My belly button is almost flat and my laparoscopy scars are stretches and feel really thick. I don't have any stretch marks *yet* but it's still early days for them. 

So 12 weeks until my due date. Unbelievable. 14 weeks at the latest until I meet my baby boy ♥
