Christopher’s Journey.

I went to another OB appointment today, with Dr S.S. Blood pressure was 125/75. So all good there. My tummy measurements were fine.

I mentioned that Christopher had slowed down with his movements, but put it down to him running out of room. He asked whether I was getting 10 or more movements a day? I had no clue I was supposed to keep count!!

I seriously had no worries about it, but he sent me around to the labour ward to be monitored for 45 mins, and his heartbeat hovered about 160bpm and he had about 20 movements on the monitor (I have no idea if that is per minute or for the full 45 mins ???) but the OB was cool about that and I was allowed to go home.

I also have to have to have another growth ultrasound on the 11th of May ( hopefully its the last scan prior to the birth – I really dislike the gel that they use – icky!)

I am still very uncomfortable, but am still enjoying being pregnant, I think because this is likely to be the one and only pregnancy, I want to take advantage of the whole experience.
