Week 10

9+1

I had my booking in appointment today. I've got a really friendly, bonkers MW called Jules who was lovely and made me feel so proud as she said how good Noah's speech is for his age! So I did my wee, had my bloods done, went through all the boring forms with her etc. They do all these additional blood tests now (without having to take more blood) as lots of diseases are cropping up. She also said she'd test me for Chicken Pox immunity as an extra as I work with children and it can be dangerous for pg women. I don't think there's a time we DON'T have chicken pox at school!! Hope I'm immune otherwise I'll be having loads of time off!

They're quite big on home births at my new surgery. They can't 'encourage' it but give it a huge amount of support - even have birthing pools you can borrow for free. I'm not sure it's for me but I'm not ruling it out yet. We'll see. I like the safeness of being in a hospital!

I've declined the extra screening again this time for Down's etc. And hopefully I'll be getting a scan in the next 2-4 wks due to my mad cycles and how my due date varies by 5wks depending on whether you go by my LMP or when I reckon I ovulated.

Still feeling grotty. I had a couple of days where I felt fine, which really worried me, lol but then it's hit me back with a vengance since. I also had some funny little crampy niggles last night which I'm putting down to things stretching.

I think that's it. All still very non-eventful!
