me again!

So... scan was fine, he’s got little legs bless him and a big head so I figure he’ll be smart but a shorty! All looking good and healthy though so that’s all that really matters.

Blood pressure is 108/60 so happy with that and I’ve put on 0.8kg in 2 weeks and considering what I ate last week/weekend I’m happy with that.

Obstetrics - no concerns, not a lot to say really. not really sure why I have to see them every 2 weeks to be honest. Just need another blood test but that’s routine.

Diabetes team - another gold star haha. One minor change but they are really happy with me and I’m allowed to stay at every two weeks appointment rather than once a week now, which apparently is a v good thing.

So there you have it. Still pregnant but less than 6 weeks to go now! Yay!

Good to hear grainger. Glad to hear all is well and bubs is looking healthy ready to emerge and give you sleepless nights! :D No need to disclose but have you got the name sorted yet!
 
Thanks all - in traditional paranoid, worried style I'm now worrying about the short legs thing but they'd have said if they had any concerns right?

@Amigo Yes we have a name... I'm happy to disclose - it'll be Nathaniel Jon... Nate for short. Jon in memory of my brother. 🙂

That’s a lovely name and yes they would have told you if there was any developmental issues. We always worry but I’m sure he’ll be bonny and healthy!

Try no to worry (I know that's easier said than done 🙄) I'm sure if they had concerns they would be investigating. More than likely he's a bit squished in there x
 
Lovely name by the way, I have a nephew called Nathan, also it's a lovely way to honour your brothers memory with his middle name x
 
Grainger - if that's what the scan showed in my book it's a pound to a penny he'll finish up 6ft 6 with legs up to his armpits clad in skin tight jeans - and intelligent too!
 
Great news Grainger, not long to go now.
