I got my medical certificate for work.
We discussed my back, he had spoken to an anesthetist who doesn't think it will be a problem at all. YAY fantastic news. Dr A said its very rare to do a c-section under a general as its really dangerous for mum so it will be avoided and only used as a very last resort.
We talked about DH and I looking into buying an Epi-No. If you don't know what that is, its a balloon devise that you use from about 35weeks to help start to stretch you vagina to help reduce the chances of it tearing during birth. DH's Brother and sister in-law recommended it to us while we were away. She had two 9pound boys and didn't tear once. Dr A agreed that there isn't much he recommends but definitely things they are worth it. They are about $180 to buy but we figured it would be worth it. Anyway while we were talking about it Dr A opened the cupboard and was like here have this one. We were so grateful little things like that help so much especially with DH starting his business up and my wage being the only income at the moment.
What else, he asked if I had any swelling, nope nothing. We discussed the low lying placenta, he isn't concerned which I figured he wouldn't be. He is just going to monitor it in house. That again saves us another $200. He had a look at it today and although his machine is fuzzy he measured over 3cm so give or take he thinks its definitely moving away.
He took a couple of photos and videos for me. I wanted a full bub shot but he couldn't get it all onto the screen.
Well thats about it :) very happy. Still feel so blessed everyday for this little peanut. It is still so surreal though that there is a little person in side of me. Even when I feel big massive kicks it doesn't truly sink in.
