Bit of a shift..... for the better!!!!!

God, it feels like an eternity since I've blogged!!!! I've been reading others blogs when I've been able to during annual leave but couldn't get in to update mine! Then this week when I've been back at work I just haven't had a chance! I was going to yesterday but figured I may as well wait until I'd had my OB appointment today and update after that.

Soooooo, Dr B did the usual checks, blood pressure and the like which were all back to normal for me which was great - 100/60. He also went through the results of my GTT (I figured if I hadn't heard anything they must be ok) and they were perfect. Also he'd done a count to check my iron and haemaglobin and both were perfect as well. My cortisol was normal and not elevated this time too which means my kidneys are also working like they should! So all round, when it comes to my health, I'm fit as a fiddle and let me tell you, I couldn't be happier!!
Then Dr B got me to lay down so he could check the fundal height etc and that was spot on also! He said my tummy was very tight and it great condition for giving birth which I thought was a nice thing to say! Made me feel like the million sit ups I've done in my life are finally paying off! Then he went on to say how bub is still only about half grown compared to it's birth size so get ready for the next phase of growth spurt! Eeeek! hahaha!!!
Then he did a scan to check bub was all ok and growing nicely. Bub was laying EXACTLY as I'd told him I thought it was - across my stomach with it's head on my left and it's legs almost up under my right ribs, booting me constantly!!! Cheeky little monkey!!
The shift I was referring to in my blog title though relates back to the fact that Dr B checked out my placenta position and it has now moved completely clear of my cervix and as a result no longer have placenta praevia and don't have to book in for a c-section! SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO relieved!!!!!! Sooooo happy and sooooooooo grateful for the good news!!!!!!! I'm off to the gym now to celebrate and maintain my great mood!!! Will write more tomorrow when I have a bit more time!
