I had my fortnightly check up a couple of days ago, and I'm glad to say everything is much the same with bub. I actually met with a different obstetrician this time, as mine was unavailable, and I really liked him aswell. He was young(er), and very enthusiastic about trying to speak English to me. I would be comfortable with him delivering our baby too. He commented that her femur bone is long, she's 1.8kgs, and that she has a strong heart beat.
Unfortunately, they sprung an internal exam on me, which I was completely mentally unprepared for (I hate that stupid chair!). He was slightly concerned, as my cervix is a bit too short and her head is right down. This can lead to preterm labour. He asked me countless times whether I have been having any contractions yet, which I haven't, just some heavy pressure. He told me to rest and lie down as much as possible, and also put me on some medication which will hopefully stop me from going into labour too soon. Atleast that is a bit of an explanation as to why I have been so incredibly sore for the past month! It makes me a little bit nervous, as I really don't have the opportunity to lie down and rest too much... I'll just be taking each day as it comes!
That's all for now. Here's the belly a few days ago.
