midwife update
Yesterday I went for a routine appointment with midwife, I am now 35wks +2 and needed to have a blood test done as the next two weeks where I should of seen MW fall on Christmas and New Year. There was a student MW there to and she was really good, when she tested my urine sample she discovered protein and something else that was apparently off the scale so the MW rushed out the room to see a doctor to get me a prescription for antibiotics and the student MW asked if I had had any back pain as I had a severe water infection.
As it happens I had been experiencing back pain the last few days not realising what it meant I had also had what I thought was braxton hicks the day before but it turns out that they probably weren't and the MW advised me that if I get any contractons to ring the labour ward straight away as my UTI is that severe it can bring on early labour.
She gave me a prescription for antibiotics and said although it would mean squeezing them in in a shorter space of time than normal I must take one straight away and fit three in that day before bed to try and attack the UTI straight away. All the other usual checks were done and bubs is fine, strong heartbeat and I am measuring 36wks. The only thing is he is head down but his back is to the right hand side of my ribs instead of the ideal place of in the middle so need to try and get him to move.
Hubby is great but as you can imagine he is slightly stressed and worrying a bit more now, he didn't go to sleep till 5am this morning as he was watching over me because I was snoring and making strange noises he said.
