Finally met with my new, if temporary midwife today, Denise, and she's lovely! Had my final set of bloods taken and Dylan's heartbeat was loud and strong. I took my endless list of questions and she patiently sat and answered all of them! Apparently Dylan is absolutely perfect - I'm the right size (and NOT too big!) and the reason I'm not getting much external movement is because he's head down and his-back-to-my-front, so all his kicks are aimed inwards. It also means that what I though were kicks low down are actually punches! He's got strong arms, so hopefully he's a future bassist! Whoop!!! Plus, if he stays in this position, he's in the perfect position for labour, so fingers crossed he doesn't suddenly become breech or spin round!
Have been signed up for NHS antenatal classes, and have be recommended to attend both these and my NCT ones, so it looks like I'm going to be a baby expert by the end of this, as they pretty much seem to run parallel! I figure the more you go over stuff, the more it will stick in the mind under pressure!
I think that's everything, my memory is shot these days and I forget stuff as soon as it happens! I'm back on bonfire night for my final monthly appointment, then I go fortnightly - eeek!
