It was lovely seeing the twins again and they looked lovely. When I first went in there was a trainee sonographer who scanned me for a bit before the woman who scanned me last time took over. I got a lovely view of Bambina at one point and I got a lovely view of her face, which looked like it was developing really nicely.
Both the twins are developing nicely and both of their heartbeats are good as well (she checked while scanning) though at one point when Bambina was getting her heartbeat checked she kicked the equipment, which made one of hr heartbeat readings jump a little. It was very sweet.
After the scan I went to the follow up midwife appointment that I am getting as standard as I am having twins. They checked my blood pressure and wee which were both fine. When the midwife was looking through my notes the midwife noticed that my iron level was low and that I need to take some iron tablets. I was a little miffed that I was not contacted about this earlier (the midwife asked me at one point whether I had been phoned about it)
I saw the registrar at one point. He asked me some questions about how I was feeling, if I had any swelling etc. He also reassured me about the swelling and blood pressure. He told me this as he thought it was my first pregnancy but it was nice that he was telling me even if I was not worried about them (the midwife had already told me that my blood pressure was alright) On the train back home I was feeling tired but I decided that I would collect my prescription and make an appointment to see the community midwife (the midwife thought that the 4 week gap between scans was too long to go without being seen)
By the time I had collected the prescription, got a little shopping and made the appointment I was shattered and aching with quite a long walk home (including walking up a hill) by the time I got home I was tired, aching very much and dizzy.
I still had to make lunch as I was hungry and Wolfie was getting really grumpy. He has not been napping well during the day due to him teething. After lunch I managed to get him off for a nap so I able to properly relax and get a ten-minute nap.
I managed to get some good rest during the day and while I was reading to Wolfie Devil boy ran a bath for me and washed the dishes.
I am now going to spend the night sewing and relaxing and then making sure that I get a very early night. I am going to try and get into bed at 10pm (I am not doing too badly so far as I do not have that much left to do now and it is 9.30)
