We eat pretty much paleo too Bella and it's so healthy and nourishing while being great for weight control! I am generally pretty slim so have put on up to 20kgs in my previous pregnancies. This one we're eating the new diet and I started at my lowest weight ever so I guess I'll gain a lot again. Not concerned though as I know it's part of it all but that is amazing to hear your weight dropped off so fast!

So wonderful to hear your family is all blissed out

AFM I had an appointment with my MW on Monday and it went really well. It had been almost 8 weeks between appointments due to her having a holiday and us being busy too so it was SO good to catch up and get back into 'pregnancy zone' because that's been a challenge for me lately. Baby is measuring spot on for 26 weeks and heartbeat was good. My BP was high last time but good today, 98/65 or 70 or something. The kids were being adorable trying to listen to baby and lying down and checking each other's bellies with her fetoscope! LOVE HB appointments at home. She helped me feel baby's head (I'm not great with working out what I'm feeling usually) and it's about the size of a tennis ball. Baby was head down in my pelvis. I've had a lot of pelvis pain and she said it was likely from a significant abdominal separation I didn't realise I have so I've been wearing a belly band and it really helped. Seeing the chiro this morning too.

We chatted about the birth, how I picture it and some stuff like that. Also a bit about reasons for transfer and how that would happen. Have another appointment in 2 weeks to make up for the gap we've had so I'm looking forward to more birth chat. She's bringing a DVD with a birth to share with the kids too- Birth day... anyone seen it? I also asked her for DVD recs for me as I found watching The Business of Being Born and Orgasmic Birth really bonding and helpful for my husband and I in previous pregnancies and she suggested Gloria Lemay's Birth.. anyone seen that one?
