34 week Midwife visit...

okay, so this was last weeks news, i'm getting behind on my blog already! lol

Had my midwife, the lovely Andrea, visit for my 34 week 'check-up'. We mostly just chat about how i'm feeling, what's been happening, my thoughts on the birth etc.. but this week we decided to do the whole 'check-up' business as well. 

Blood pressure, good.... Check!

Belly measurement, spot on 34.... Check!

Baby's position, bum up... Check!

Baby's heart rate, happy and healthy... Check!

So we're chugging along quite nicely, apart from a serious case of SPD (pelvic pain) and Diastasis Rectus (separtion of the abdominal muscles) both of which i am receiving weekly physio at the hospital, and am now in a pelvic brace and a tubigrip (an elasticated tubular bandage) to support my belly muscles. After a serious case of constant 'morning sickness' to start with and lasting till 18 weeks, and now these issues, I admit this pregnancy hasn't been fun, but i'm so looking forward to the end and birthing my little man, there's finally light at the end of the tunnel xxx
