Bye bye crazy midwife

So we were useless, I didn't manage to call anyone about our crazy midwife before our next midwife appointment. But it was ok because we knew that our next midwife was not our usual one. So whilst we were there we asked whether we could switch midwives. We didn't go into any detail and she didn't ask for any - we just said that we didn't seem to have built up a relationship with her and we wanted to swap.

So our appointments have now switched to be at the children's centre, which is literally two minutes walk away : )

And we know she can't be there because the children's centre clinic time is at the same time as her clinic at my GP. And she can't be in two places at once.

So it was my third midwife appointment where I was in tears before we reached the car. But this it was relief rather than anxiety. So my target for next time is no tears! : ) I reckon I can do it.

And the very good news is that embie is has made up his/her little growth blip, and at the moment, we're back on the line properly. This midwife (she was lovely by the way) thought that the fluctuation could have been due to the levels of amniotic fluid I am carrying - apparently not very much! Which isn't problem as long as embie can still move. The other good news is that (for now at least) embie has his/her head down. So if they stay there, it's all good but if embie manages to change position, it could be quite difficult for them to get back in the right place because there's not much wiggle room.

Stay, stay, stay. Be calm little one.

Well done on changing midwives. Hopefully, it will make a huge difference. My measurements also varied quite a bit, depending on who took the measurement. So, I would not worry about it too much - always easier said than done. Working certainly does not make a difference. I worked until 38 weeks... and the baby was more than fine. All the best for the remaining weeks. Take it easy and take good care of yourself!

Fantastic news that you got rid of that midwife.

Not long to go for you now. How are you feeling?

Yay! Bye bye midwife! : )

I'm pretty good I think, and fairly active (despite the ex-midwife, ha ha) as I'm still feeling fine really. A few aches and pains, and getting increasingly uncomfortable but I'm sure that's just normal!

Nearly 3 weeks left now til the due date. Quite scary!

How are you doing, Shona?
