We saw the midwife at 27 weeks of pregnancy for the usual check up.  She measured the fundal height which was 29cm, so roughly about 2 weeks ahead for my dates, hopefully this doesn’t mean that the baby is going to be huge!  We also listened to the baby’s heart rate which was 146 beats per minute, nice and fast and the midwife then felt for baby’s position which was head down!  Ben was very interested in watching everything that was happening.

I had my bloods taken for the usual checks, and I am now waiting for the results.  I have been told that I could be marginally anaemic and we are waiting to hear if there is anything to worry about.

I managed to get a huge bottle of  Gaviscon on prescription for the awful heartburn that I have been getting so that should save us a few pounds every week.

We will see the midwife again in about 5 weeks time!
