Scan and Midwife Appointment.

The scan went well, thank god!
We had a different woman scan us this time, and she was lovely. When we saw the baby pop up on the screen, I burst into tears, so she asked if we had a hard time, we explained everything and she was brilliant, making excuses for us to stay in the room a bit longer scanning our baby! She kept saying we couldn't possibly go outside looking like we had been crying, so she kept scanning and showing us the baby. She pointed out little hands and feet, spine, ribs, showed us the heartbeat on the screen, which is excellent at 142bpm. Baby is a long baby, not big as such, just quite long, which would probably explain why I'm quite big already.
Baby kept wriggling, so we couldn't get brilliant shots, but I saw my baby, jumping up and down and wriggling away.
My EDD is still 13th December, so I was spot on with my dates, the other scan was completely wrong, which I knew it would be. so I had the scan at 13+4, I'll be 14 weeks tomorrow!

1st one is baby waving!






We have a 3D/Gender scan booked for 6th July and I can't wait!!
I didn't find out with Charlie, I don't know how I made 39 weeks not knowing what I was having! Even now, having to wait 2 weeks to find out is killing me!

We had our midwife appointment yesterday, everything is good. I told her about my blood sugars levels and she is sending me for a GTT (Glucose Tolerance Test) she was very understanding.
We also discussed the birth with her, she is adamant I will be having a VBAC, which was quite a shock! She said there is absolutely no reason whatsoever that I would need another Cesarean! We discussed our concerns with her, but she is very convincing and said everything will be fine. Bongo is still a bit worried. But as I'm going to be under consultant care, I will discuss this with my consultant as well when I get the appointment. Scary Stuff!!!
