UTI

So, went to the docs yesterday (gp AND ob!!) and turns out I have a UTI. Apparently bub is pushing so firmly on the bladder that not every drop of urine is able to get out! So she put me on antibiotics and today I feel a million times better!!

OB visit (Dr VW this time) went great. BP is 110/60 and bub heartrate was 148 bpm and head still firmly engaged. She didn't bother doing an internal cause she said that it's just a waiting game and they would wait until next week to worry about how long to go!
My fundal height was still only 35cm so 4 weeks behind now but she checked fluid levels etc and said it was so far behind cause the muscles were tight and keeping it fairly well contained. She seemed to think if anything it might get smaller as bub gets further down.

OB poked around a bit trying to get a good pic of bubs face on the ultrasound and this is what she came up with! It's face is all squished up cause of it's position in the pelvis but am thrilled cause I didn't think I'd get anything like this!

Hmmmm...

So just went to the loo and there was a spot of blood.... Not very much but enough to notice.... Not going reading into things again but makes me wonder if things might be starting. Have had lots of bh this morning and a very heavy feeling in the lowest part of my tummy with pain that feels like period pain but it's just constant, not coming and going like cramps. Obviously not in labour but hoping this is my body gearing up for the big day!!! Lol

2nd last assignment

So, really meant to ensure I had finished my nutrition course by the time bub came along but don't think it's gunna happen!! Am sitting at the dining table (on my fitball of course to help with engagement and baby position!!) doing my second last assignment. Seven questions to go and I'm off to pop in the mail!!!

Quiet on the home front...

Well so bored today!!! Weather is shit again and the housework is all done and dp is working so Brit much to do!!

Just gave my new easytone shoes another go on the treadmill for something to pass the time! Thought I'd take a pic of myself, fresh off the tready, iPod in and about to go and sort out a roast for tea (not my choice as the smell of the meat still doesn't sit well with me!!!). Am hoping the walking will get things moving.... Just makes my pubic bone feel like it's gunna split in two!!!
So here I am, 3 days into my 39th week....

A couple of tips...

For those entering the word of pregnancy or are already in it...... here are my top 3 tips that have helped me out!

1 - BIO OIL!!!! Can't recommend it highly enough!!!!! Lather yourself in it at least twice a day!!!!!

2- Exercise as much as you feel you can (with approval from your doc) and your body will tell you when you've reached your limits.

3 - Buy a PTM Neo Nat Maternity Support band from http://www.sportstek.net/prices/search.php This has saved my back and also helped my stomach muscles on days when I feel like I'm going to split my abs!!!! Just a bit of extra support and probably the best investment I've made throughout the entire pregnancy!!!!
