Dr Davis appointment and Mum to be pamper package

Well on Monday i had my appointment with Dr Davis he did the usual check up and he also checked baby's position and to see if he was engaged. Now here i was keeping my fingers crossed, Baby was lying flat on his back which is good but he wasn't engaged, but like Dr Davis said we will take it 1 week at a time and we will see next Monday.

He we also talked about epidurals and spinals as well at this appointment as due to my blood condition i might not be able to have one (i knew this might come up and i think i was trying to keep it blocked out as i still wanted it as an option). I have an appointment with Dr Ramakrishna (haematologist) on Wednesday so i have to speak to him about it and see if it is an option. If it isn't an option i will need to call Dr Davis and let him know as i will probably need a General Anaesthetic if i need a C-section, which i don't really want but if that is the only way to keep me and baby alive then i will listen to the Doctors as they know what they are doing.

Dr Davis also gave me a blood test, apparently my Haematologist forgot to include a test on my last blood test that he really needs so it looks like i will need to go for that today and have it marked urgent.

Also on Monday i had my mummy to be pamper package which included a Deluxe pedicure, Deluxe manicure, Deluxe facial and a eye lash tint and oh my god i was in heaven! i was there for about 3 hours and even though i had to get up and go to the toilet a few times it did not spoil the mood. with every piece of deluxeness (i know its not a word) i was getting a massage as well and i tell you what it was just what i needed. So now my toe nails and finger nails look all pretty and my eye lashes are so black and my skin looks amazing...i feel so spoilt.

OB Appointment

Saw Dr Davis today for my appointment and everything seems t be going well. He measured my fundal height that is reading 24 and we got to hear our little baby's heart beat which is beating really strong. The only thing he is worried about now is my placenta due to my blood conditions (i think he is now worried about this as the baby is going to get bigger and fast). So i am now going to be having ultrasounds every 4 weeks until bub is born. I am not really worried about this at the moment as i feel fine and i can feel bubba and Dr Davis was calm about it (although i think Dr Davis could say that i was dying and i would still think everything was going to be ok as he has that sort of calmingness(?) to him) so i am not going to worry until there is time to worry....plus i will be able to see bub and get more pictures!

The only other thing that is going on at the moment is that i think i have hives (well my mum thinks i do). I have broken out in a few spots that are really itchy, i thought they were mozie bites at first but it is too cold for them and they just seem to be on my legs. So i told my mum and she seems to think that it is because i am getting too hot when i am sleeping in bed and because when your pregnant you seem to put off much more heat that is where the hives are coming from. So i am going to make sure i have less layers the next few night and see if that does anything, as i don't really want to start taking anything if just removing some clothing and/or blankets can get rid of the problem.
