Quick catchup

Just a quick catchup today as I have been flat out again and need to leave in 20mins to take Bethany to school.

Am 29 weeks tomorrow and am up to 93.1kg, a total gain so far of 13.1kg, so am happy with that.

Went for my 28 week checkup last week. All seems to be fine. My diabeties screen came back normal although apparently am lacking in iron. I was told the normal levels are between 10 and 200 and my levels are 4, explains why I always feel so tired. So have been put back on iron supplements, although nearly a week later and I still feel exhausted.

Also had my fundas measured (the size of my uterus, for you New Zealanders I think Carla referred to it in her journal as her puku). I was told that it should be a centremetre for every week along you are (as with Carla, she was 29 weeks and hers measured 29cm). Well I climbed on the bed and at 28 weeks mine is measuring 31cm! The doctor said it didn't definately mean that I might go early, we'll just have to wait and see. Scarey!! Bethany also got to listen to the heartbeat for the first time so that was good.

Am still getting a lot of backpain. I did actually mention it to the doctor and he told me the best thing I could do was to go for a daily 30min walk, it would help. So being a good girl, I did that the very next day and that night my back and my pelvis and my stomach hurt more than ever, so have been reluctant to go again. It wasn't like I went out and did a power walk, infact it was more of a pathetic slow waddle.

Bubs is so active now. Am getting constant hits in the ribs and pelvis. So as much as I whinge to Pete and complain about being uncomfortable, I love every hit I get, because I know everything is OK.

OMG, I have 10mins to get Bethany dress, hair done, bag backed and off to school, better run.

I have caught up on everyone elses blogs, although I haven't left any comments. Will be back to do that later.
