So we had a good appointment with Annabel today. She came over and Iain came home from work too. We had a good appointment. She went over the plans for the baby's birth, the scan after his birth, and all the details of the birth-plan and various eventualities. She checked my urine and the baby's HB and size ... who knows what is more exact/inexact ... but her measurements match up with the scans. Each guess is as good as the other!
I had some protein in my urine - could be a UTI although I have no symptoms so I am to drink a lot and watch that, no swelling and BP fine, so not likely to be pre-eclampsia - although I am to watch out for headaches predominantly in the front of my head, swellings, seeing big spots etc. Annabel will be back on Sunday to check me over again. Baby seemed to be a tiny bit lower than on Wednesday. He's getting down there! His back was to the left, wedged in the back, so I am to do a lot of inverted/all-fours positions and use the birthing ball a lot. Help his back move towards the front.
Nothing else to do really - he is fine, and there is no reason to try and do a sweep yet or induce yet. If they set a date on Tuesday - do a sweep that day, and another 2 days later if need be, then have the induction that weekend I suppose, if he's not here by then.
Sounds like a plan!
