After the chat the other day about what to wear leaving hospital, has anyone any recommendations for leggings with high waist/thick waistband?
I've got a pair of maternity leggings from Sainsburys that are dead comfy.
Just had my 28 week midwife appointment. My bump is measuring a tiiiiiny bit big (30cm instead of 29) but I've got an extra scan booked in anyway because of my lithium so she wasn't worried.
I had a chat with her about my anxiety around movements and she was really helpful and reassuring. Just thought I'd explain it here as I know a couple of others have said they find movements a worry.
So I've been tracking her movements by the hour, so then if she'd been moving at 6am for a few days, I would get to 7am another day and panic that she hadn't moved. The midwife explained that I don't need to be so specific, as long as she moves at some point in the morning. She said sometimes babies have days where they sleep more, or they're affected by your routine etc.
So if she generally tends to move first thing In the morning, and one day I get to lunchtime and haven't noticed anything, call triage. Basically, rather than thinking in hour slots, I should break the day into more general chunks, ie 'early morning', 'lunchtime', 'afternoon' and don't stress about the exact time.
Anyway, I know people get given lots of different advice depending on their trust/midwife etc. but I just thought I'd share in case anyone else is a neurotic as me
