hope your appt went well! Mine was boring, just as I like it. Bub is still big, but we talked at length about labour and me wanting to try naturally, and he was happy to let me choose how I wanted to go. He said he won't talk induction, was happy to let me go spontaneously, had faith that as a woman who had 3 natural labours and delivered all three vaginally, that I was the best judge of how to have this baby, big or not. He said that he'd keep intervention to a minimum, and if things got 'out of hand', he would discuss everything with us to make an informed decision. I just love the man!
He also said that my blood results were very good, iron levels normal, platelet count was good and bub is head down. I see him in 3 weeks and then it's fortnightly visits for 4 weeks then weekly (eek!)
I also discussed my birth plan with him, and he said he was happy for it to be 'anything goes'. I can walk around, get in the bath, whatever I wanted. But he joked that at 45, his knees ain't so good, so while he will deliver the bub any way I wanted, to please not rip his head off if he tries to get me onto a bed in the second stage!
I asked if he would send me for more u/s and he said only if he thought something was wrong, but he would if I really wanted. Would you believe this was when DH decided to pipe in and say 'no, it's okay, we don't need one!'
