I remember writing an eight weeks to go post when I was pregnant with J. I can stay sane that long I wrote then. It didn’t seem like a long time, now it seems like an eternity.

I’m having a bad day - if I had written this yesterday it might not have been so anxious. Baby (sex still unknown, name still not discussed) is pretty active - last night as I lay in bed I was thankful for that, constant movement is the only thing that reassures me at all. Today Baby is quiet & I feel sick with anxiety. At 6:30 HB was 133-138, at 8am it was 135-145, at 10:30 it was 150-155 (I’d a cup of coffee). I have lots of days like this.

Baby has changed position - it has been breech, then transverse for a couple of weeks now it is head down. I have a lot of pressure & shifting type movements but fewer kicks.

I’ve been having growth scans every two weeks, baby is small, but they are happy with its growth now* & I don’t go back for another one until I’m 34 weeks. That makes me anxious [just felt a jab - 10:37am].

Please don’t die.

(*at 30 weeks HC was just below the mean, AC just above the 5th centile - IUGR?)
