This week in Snowy-Land
I'm going to try to do weekly Snowy updates from now on.
I've been very slack in this respect. Sorry about that. This week, Tricky had her first antenatal appointment with her GP. She had been a little concerned as Snowy hasn't been moving a lot lately but the doctor soon reassured her. There's a strong heartbeat and her uterus is around exactly the right size (a little on the bigger side if anything.) We also discovered that Snowy is in a tranverse lie. This means that, rather than the usual position of a foetus at this stage (bum up, head down) Snowy has settled into a side to side lie. He likes to do things differently, just like his Mum. He's a bit more laid back and cool than the average foetus. This explains why we have been noticing most of the movements to the sides. We read a bit about tranverse lie on the web and became a little concerned but a quick call to Tricky's midwife cooled things down. She was not concerned at all (as was the GP) and said this was no problem and not uncommon at this stage. Snowy will turn around she said. And already, we think maybe he has. Don't believe everything you read on the internet kids.
