Week 39: Scan

38+2

Everything is fine! There's still not loads of fluid in there but there's 3cm more than there was so I'm obviously not losing any which is the important thing. They like there to be more than 7.5cm at 38weeks (last time I was 7cm) and I've got 10 so that's fab news!

Girly has grown well too. A fortnight ago her Head Circumference, Abdominal Circumference and length of the thighbone were: 32.3cm, 31.4cm & 7.2cm. This week they were: 33.8cm, 34.1cm and 7.7cm. She's gone from sitting on the average line on the chart to being just above it. I hope she doesn't get too big! They didn't give me an estimated weight or anything but I would think she'll be high in the 7lbs somewhere at least going by what Noah was.

BP fine, even my urine was fine today and not full of glucose. She is still head down and is quite well engaged as they had a real hard time getting head measurements for her as she was so low in my pelvis!

I had a lovely positive and informative Registrar this time too who gave me real confidence that things were fine and there's nothing to worry about. She could see no reason for interfering with nature and inducing me and I was actually really relieved! I feel like a huge weight has been lifted. I think a lot of the reason I've been bogged down about the pregnancy over the last couple of weeks is because I've been feeling in limbo, not knowing what was going on in there and was worrying my socks off! Now I feel all happy about being pregnant again and can't wait for labour to begin and give birth normally! I'm actually quite excited!

Those period pain like niggles have settled a little although I can still feel some strange aches. I think my body is just preparing itself.

I'm really happy now!
