31wk Midwife Appointment

Just got back from the MW. Pretty bog standard visit.

BP 100/60 (normal), wee normal, no swelling etc. Finally got the official results of my Glucose Tolerance Test and 28wk bloods - all normal - no diabetes, no anaemia etc. Baby girl's heartbeat is normal too.

But.....the little madam is still breech. The MW wasn't too concerned as a lot still are at this stage. However because she's breech, my 34wk appointment will be at the surgery, not at home to discuss the birth plan as it would usually be (as it might be pointless as she's the wrong way up!). If she's turned by 34wks, we'll then discuss birth plans at an extra appointment the week after. If she hasn't turned, a scan will be booked for 36wks to confirm it and then I'll have to see a consultant to discuss my options (section, turning, breech vaginal delivery etc.).

I really want a normal birth again so please send lots of baby turning vibes my way!!!
