I had a midwife appointment today and it went well. I had 2 midwives - one was a student midwife.
They measured me for the first time! My fundal height is 34 cm - apparently you should be measuring within 2 cms of the number of weeks you are, and as I am 34 weeks, seems perfect to me. They said I'm measuring just fine, so all the people who have been telling me how small I am can just shut up. (: My blood pressure is fine and baby's heartbeat is totally normal. Baby is behaving well and staying head down.
When asked about swelling, I showed them my shrek-like foot/ankle/ leg (the right one) and they were appropriately sympathetic. I've also had to stop wearing my wedding rings as they get really tight when I am hot. They live on a chain around my neck. But, they both complimented me and said the bump is nice and neat and my skin around looked really good. So, nasty legs, but nice bump. (:
Anyway - that's my update for now!

ReplyDeleteI think when people say you're small, they mean you still look thin/good everywhere but the bump. But lemme-not-get-involved in this debate at all because you don't seem to like it any which way.
