27 weeks.

10 days until my next antenatal appointment - growth scan, anti-D injection, see my OB & appointment with the anaesthetist.

C-section is booked for 17th Ocober at 39 weeks - they tell me there’s approximately a 30% chance I’ll PROM or start contracting before then. My cervix is >3cm and won’t be rechecked now unless I start contracting before 35 weeks.

My haemoglobin is low & still dropping so I’m taking ferrous sulphate - I’m feeling pretty exhausted now, mostly bcause of the heat.

BP is creeping up (120/80), but still okay with the exception of a couple of white coat episodes.

My feet & hand are slightly oedematous, but nothing too unpleasant.

We don’t get routinely weighed in the UK so I have no idea how much I’ve gained - I’m eating pretty well, and avoiding dairy & soya since they make me sick.

Baby is apparently big (50-80th centiles) I’m LFD (large for dates) & will be having growth scans from next week.

He’s active & seems to have finally settled head down (well at least for now).

I’m a complete bitch to live with.
