Midwife appointment

I had yet another appointment today with Min.  Baby's heart rate is about 134, which is good. My blood pressure is still 100/70.  My fundal height is 33.5 cm.  They generally like the fundal height to match your gestational age in weeks, so at 31 weeks, 33.5cm is not so great.  She said this could be amniotic fluid or just a big baby.

In any case, Min said we'd start watching this carefully.  I have another appointment with her in 2 weeks at which point she'll check it again.  I also have another ultrasound booked for October 15 in Kitchener, at which point we'll be able to get an updated fetal weight.  I'll be 35 weeks then.

In the meantime, I'm supposed to cut down on sugar (including fruit juices), eat lots of fibre rich foods, fresh fruit and vegetables, drink lots of water and try to get lots of (mild) exercise.
