Midwife appointment

As Claire’s getting nearer and nearer to the due date, she’s now on weekly appointments with the midwife and today was another appointment.

At last week’s appointment, the midwife said that the baby’s head was no longer engaged, as it previously was. Apparently, this does happen and sometimes the head can be become re-engaged. But not this week, as the head is still out of the ‘socket’ that is the hips.

I wasn’t there, but Claire said that the midwife had a good ol’ juggle around with the baby’s head, feeling it all round and probably giving young Jack a taste of his upcoming hangovers, when he’s 18+ of course!

The midwife has booked another appointment for Claire for next week to check again if the head is engaged, if not then an appointment with a consultant will be made to find out about the possibility of having the baby induced. Now this might sound ok, as the baby is nearly due and it’s a controlled induction, but I get the feeling that this doesn’t sit too well with Claire.

But, we’ll see and we’ll keep you posted.
