a quickie update about how bub and i are going
i had a 31 week check up last week and all is well. bub is still head down, fundal height was 33cms, heartbeat strong. the midwife noticed my ankles were swollen, but i didn’t have the heart to tell her ‘actually, that’s how my ankles usually are. i have cankles …’
my legs are a bit swollen some days though – i can see the white spots on them when i’ve been on my feet too much. swimming is going good – i paddled over to the ‘fast’ lap lane today and really got a good workout!
we’re starting to talk more about birth plans and i’ve been looking up things like birthing stools and fit balls to cope with the pain. i’m so curious about how it will all go – faster? harder? longer? same? i can’t wait for whatever comes really 🙂
still working full time, was hoping to go to 4 days a week but that’s been pushed back. also looking at going on maternity leave at 39 weeks instead of 38 weeks :/ eeep.
