“baby has a tight wee bottom” – midwife extrordinaire, April 2015
I really do love my midwife. She might always be insanely late but she’s a lovely lady! This week I went for a checkup by myself as Matt had to work. The usual blood pressure and urine checks came back fine.
MW spent a bit of time checking babies position and really dug down into my pelvis which was not pleasant! Head is down but not engaged just bobbing around apparently.
This week has brought swelling of epic proportions – A result of third trimester fun and the hot weather we’ve been having. My feet are like two hams.
Otherwise I’m still feeling well, a little tired but nothing too drastic. I do have a rotten cold/ sore throat though which has just come on and I’m feeling a bit sorry for myself!
MW did say baby is measuring a little on the big side but I took to Twitter and have been reassured that this is a) not necessarily accurate and b) nothing to worry about. Thanks to all who replied ?
In other news this week I had the most divine Mexican made by the lovely Matt. It has been christened ‘Shredded Verde Chicken’ and I’m sure I could share the recipe, if you’re interested let me know 🙂
I’ve also been totally loving ohgeeitsbri’s YouTube channel. She’s had tonnes of uploads lately and you should swing by too. Bri is a young mum to a lovely little boy who vlogs family life and videos about organic foods, natural toys etc. All very interesting and lovely.

Thank you 🙂 hi!! Oh it was lovely, he’s a good egg. X
What is it with these midwives being insanely late? Mine is lovely but always late!!
Hope you feel better soon!
Tell me about it! I think they are just majorly overloaded and the. There are people who come late/ forget samples etc so it all adds up. Annoying though. For them too, I’m sure! X
Haha well the reason mine is always late is because she gossips so much! She’s lovely though! Have an appointment with her at 9am tomorrow and wednesday – here’s hoping she’s not late! x
Ahh such an exciting time for you!! I hope your cold didn’t last & that the swelling eases.i had to buy bigger shoes near the end of my pregnancy as my feet swelled up ? haha! X
Not long to go for us now! My midwife is always late too but she’s lovely so I don’t mind too much. The mexican dish looks lovely!
Aww how exciting! Not long to go now! 🙂

PS got major food envy right now!!
Thanks 🙂 haha yeah it was a pretty fab dinner. Back on the oven food the next day though 😉 xx
Mmmmm the Mexican looks yummy. They told me my baby was big-8lb9 with 2 weeks to go and he was 6lb5 and all clothes were too big.
Don’t worry all will be well #MaternityMondays
Thank you 🙂 it’s funny how science is so advanced but we hear of so many babies who are bigger or smaller than predicted! My youngest brother was expected to be very poorly and underweight, parents were prepared for the worst and he was a healthy happy 7lb baby! X
