I got up early this morning & made Paul a coffee before he headed off to work, did my hair & ate some buttery toast while waiting for mum to arrive to take me to my appointment at Nepean. The midwifes today were much nicer and so much more approachable than last week, the took my BP which was the same as last week 130/185 & checked bubs position which kind of was very pinchy cause the midwife had really long nails & was told that bub is not engaged yet! a little disappointing but I'm hoping I'm just one of those people that baby engages and labour will follow shortly after as they say first pregnancy bubs generally engage a few weeks before? So my next appointment is booked for 41 weeks and will be an ultrasound followed by an internal & talking inducement. I really hope I won't be making that appointment & am going to stay optimistic that this baby will get moving before I am looking down that barrel of inductions & internals. I have had some pains here and there over the last few days, more braxton hicks and sometimes I wake up during the night feeling aches which I sometimes wonder whether are real or imagined, Its getting hard to sleep as my hips & lower back ache and Its hard to get comfortable and I get up so many times a night needing to pee. This baby really is most active at night and seems to get the hiccups alot, It is a weird feeling to have hiccups in your belly.
