Maddison - welcome. Blimey 33 weeks! are you excited? Are you huge? That's one the the things I am looking forward to, being huge. Hope your pg has been going well.

Sparkles - awesome! 157 is right on! You must just feel so good when you hear bubs heartbeat.

What happens at a midwide appointment? My ob spoke about them at some point in one of my pg, but I have never attended one, I always see the ob.

I was talking to my DH the other day after I read your post about that very issue - how I would cope if I couldn't find the HB. I decided until a little later on,its not for me. I was at the ob last week and it took him ages to find it, I was strying to keep calm and not jump to conclusions but it was getting hard.... I know I would have without the ob there reassurring me. So for me, as much as I would love to have easy access to bubs HB, I am not ready to cope on my own if I can't find it. Besides the ob says i can go up to his rooms anytime.

Glad to hear you had a nice time away.
