Ouch

36 weeks pregnant and another obstetrician appointment today. I thought it was going to be just like any other appointment……..I get my fundal height measured, check blood pressure, listen to baby’s heartbeat and that’s about it. But no, this time I find out I get to be swabbed and jabbed, ugh.

Turns out I had to have a blood test for I’m not really sure what……..I remember something about anti-bodies being tested. I’m too tired and been doing too much lately with moving house to really take it all in. Then the swab……….always such a nice girlie thing, lol.

Also I was apparently supposed to have another anti-D injection last appointment but it appears that was missed. So I had to have that today after my blood test. It’s a relatively painless injection, except this time, while the actual prick of the needle was painless, it hurt quite a lot injecting the actual fluid into my arm. My arm still aches after that. That’s the penalty I pay for having an incompatible blood type with Alexander……grrrr.

Anyway, all is going well…….baby has been well and truely head down for about 6 weeks now, although it’s still not engaged yet. That’s fine by me cuz that means labour is not necessarily imminent, although it doesn’t mean I won’t go into labour either. Well really, I guess it doesn’t help predict anything at all! lol
