29th week AN Appointment..
This morning DP and I went for a follow up appointment with my midwife.. mainly to get quite a bit of blood taken for diabetes screening, vitamin count and blood count.. making sure all is well there..
So far.. I haven’t had any complications in this pregnancy.. I’ve been coasting along blissfully ignorant of what could actually make my life difficult at this point in time.. lol *smiles* ..touch wood it stays that way
Blood Pressure, etc was fine… and the midwife had a lil feel of my belly to see where the lillun was at.. seems that whenever I look down.. chances are the bubs is sticking its butt in my face..lol it was laying head down.. it’s back to mine.. so the limbs are facing out.. hence being able to see so much movement and feel it more.. it tends to stay in the same position.. head down.. but just laying to my left hand side.. just turns every now and then.. I’ve been warned about back labour.. cos it seems a baby in that position can be known to cause back pain.. in turn causing back labour when it comes to giving birth.. something my mum told me about earlier on in my pregnancy.. kinda something I had my fingers crossed about not getting.. *smiles* bugga! ..no wonder my bump isn’t huge.. bubs is resting against my spine.. 
Ooh! we finally recorded the lillun’s heartbeat today.. the midwife has never had any trouble getting the heartbeat and this time.. you could hear the echoes of it before she’s actually pressed down on the lillun.. it’s heart was beating at 130-150bpm.. very strong as well.. indicating we still have a happy child in there hehe.. which is good 
My tummy’s aching a lil bit due to the pressure pushed on the lillun when it’s position was being determined.. in fact. come to think of it.. my entire pelvic area and lower back are kinda aching.. but that seems pretty normal after every visit.. what can ya expect when ya bubs get prodded at.. it’s like pay back ..hehe
DP should be sorting out the MP3 of the bubs’ heart beat at some point today.. I’ll add it when it’s done.. and whilst I’m waiting for my banana and walnut loaf to finish cooking.. I think I’m gonna look up some more info regarding back labour.. not to scare myself.. but knowledge is power.. I’m better off knowing what I could be in for..lol 
..time to go chill out a bit…
