36 weeks


I'm 36 weeks pregnant. That's just one week away from being full term. 

My appointment went well this morning. I'm classes as low risk so as long as I make it to 37 weeks then I can deliver at the midwife led unit. He is currently 4/5 palpable so he's definitely moved down. The midwife also listened in and his heart rate was 128bpm. My next appointment is on the 10th February when I'm 38 weeks. 

I asked my friend, Lorna, this afternoon about the 4/5 palpable and she explained that it means 4/5 of the head is above my pelvis. When I'm 3/5 palpable then it means the head is engaged and won't come back out. 

My filling came out today :( I phoned the dentist (as soon as it happened!) and I got an appointment for next Wednesday but if it gives me any bother then I've to go down any morning for an emergency appointment. I hate the dentist. My mum found it amusing that I'm more concerned about going to the dentist next week than I am about having a baby next month. 

So here are the picture for today.. 


I don't think that looks real - I think it looks like I've put something up my top! 



As always I look smaller in the mirror!
