Midwife Appointment
Today I had my 34 week midwife appointment. It was a home visit, which is always handy,
We quickly went over my birth plan, I'm still unsure of what type of birth I want. There is a part of me that wants to go for VBAC because then my body will release the hormones that help with bonding, but there is apart of me that just wants to go for the section. I know after I can get skin to skin which would also help with bonding, so I just don't know what to do.
My midwife seemed to agree with the midwife from Monday about getting baby out at 36 weeks. I have to wait till tomorrow to see if the consultant agrees. My midwife said that baby does feel small.
In all honesty I've got to the point where I want baby out. I know I am only 34+5 weeks but all the BH and cramping, the backaches, heartburn and leg cramps are now just getting me down. To top that off my morning sickness seems to be coming back.
I think being told that this pregnancy is heading the same way my first did is worrying me. We have all the tiny baby clothes, we've brought size 0 nappies, so we are all prepared for a tiny baby, but it's more that this baby could be earlier then my first, which would mean a higher risk of him being in NICU.
Tonight may well be a long night, but I know tomorrow I should get some answers.
