Going over your due date & A new blog direction

Well, i'm still pregnant which makes me so sad because i am now 41 + 3 an i cannot believe the baby hasn't arrived yet!

During the Christmas period i had the best time but it was also not celebrated how we wanted as we were waiting for the arrival... turns out that wasn't the case!

So after a quiet end of the year we come into 2017 still baby-less!

I have now been subject to two sweeps which are the most uncomfortable thing i have ever experienced in my life and my induction has been booked!
From reading the leaflet it seems straight forward but i am absolutely petrified now! I have spent the past 41 weeks waiting for this moment and suddenly its dawned on me i am going to have a baby by the weekend... I hope!

But as i am coming to the end of my pregnancy I thought it would be a nice idea to change up my blog and now focus on being a Mum and how I can save money and sharing this with everyone!

Lets see how it goes!

Thanks

Diary; I finally Know where My Baby Is! #9

Evening guys!

Sorry I have been MIA, i have had a very exciting weekend - I GOT ENGAGED!!! So I've not really been doing much aside from looking at wedding stuff and baby stuff, its all going on!

But focusing on my little man here, I went for my 31 week midwife appointment today and this couldn't of come at a better time because believe it or not i could not work out where my baby was laying! Not because i am being stupid but i was feeling several movements all over the place and areas on baby pushing out and i just couldn't tell!
At my last appointment babies bum was to the left hand side and his head to the right.... NOW he is head down and is 'back to back' which i was told thats when babies back is on your back... and this isn't good because it could cause your labour to be longer and more painful? No thank you!
So i have been told i need to sit forward, lay on my side and spend more time on all fours... this is to try and make baby move into a better position so hopefully next time i will know if it has worked - i can telly now its bloody uncomfortable!

Aside from that baby is doing really well! heartbeat sounds amazing and i am measuring 30cm from the top of my pelvic bone to the top of my stomach so thats working out 1cm to the week (which is good according to my chart) and as he is head down he is low to my pelvic bone but isn't 'engaged' so hopefully it won't be long and he could very well be getting himself ready for his arrival, the amount he's kicking i think he is running out of room.

As for me everything is also good - I've not been weighed but i was weighing 12st 9lb this morning, i am reaching that 3 stone mark which makes me sad but i know it won't be long till i am doing bridal bootcamp and getting myself looking sexy for then!
I need to keep my iron intake up as i am doing so thats lots of greens, almonds and also some cheeky dark chocolate!

thats it for now? Not much has really gone on this week if i am honest! I want to do more posts on getting my hospital bag ready and changing bag prepared; also do a post about getting a baby area ready when your living in a one bed flat!

Thanks for reading!
