32w5d

So not too much happening really. Just plodding along!

Had my 32week check up on Wednesday. Bubs is still head down, rather deep which is good. Its back was along my stomach so it a great position too.  I am always worried about it being back to back but I think with my placenta being toward the back down low to the left it likes to snuggle into it which keeps its back toward my front and head down.

Dr A did his measurements and its 4lb so definitely getting bigger but my belly definitely isn't so I have no idea where its hiding lol.  But he thinks we are on track for a 7lber which is GREAT.  To me that's little.  I see 8lb as average and 9lb as big. So maybe its a little girl.  All the boys on my DH's side are born around 9lb, which is what I would expect for a boy but we will see.  DH and I weren't big babies so who knows. I can't judge the boys on my side as there aren't any!!

Dr A also wanted to say that he thinks I might go early but he didn't want to jinx me.  Bubs has been in position now for over a month and its getting deeper and deeper. I have started the raspberry leaf and evening primrose now so hopefully that helps push it along. I will increase the dose of EPO in a couple of weeks and then at 37weeks increase the raspberry leaf, I am a bit cautious of increasing that too early as I know it can bring on strong contractions in some women and although I would love bub to be a couple of weeks early any earlier than that is too early. Also at 37weeks I will start all the exercises like step ups, squats and lunges which help move bub down even more and hopefully promote labour.  Never know though it might all be pointless and I still go over!

We are down to fortnightly appointments now so it will all start to move really quick from here.  Its exciting to think that anywhere from 4-8weeks and I will have my little peanut in my arms. YAY
