Labour talk

Alexander finally got to meet my obstetrician and today we had the “labour talk” where my obstetrician told us what we needed to do and what to look out for if I appear to go into labour or get worried about anything. There’s been so much I’ve read up on, but it was good to get another reminder and also very clear guidelines on what to do when and where and it was all kind of in note form what we need to do.

I also got a chance to explain to her my wishes on what I want out of the birth and explained to her that I would like an active labour with as little intervention as possible.

She also did another scan so Alexander got to see his first live scan and baby is well and truly head down and has been for quite a few weeks now, so that’s a positive start. With everything else going on at least I don’t have to worry about waiting for baby to turn or whatever.

So after the wedding on Friday I can start waiting for the baby to arrive. I’ll just be so thankful if I don’t have to worry about it coming early……..but I also hope it doesn’t come too late cuz not only am I getting sick of it being so heavy, I also want to avoid being induced if possible. Once you get induced it tends to be a cascade of interventions to get you into labour and I seriously want to avoid that!
