Stretch and sweep

Antenatal appointment this morning. I had so many questions, and I think I managed to remember to ask most of them!! My consultant is away next week on my due date!! Not that baby will probably arrive then, and even it does, if it all goes to plan it'll just be midwife led anyway...
Bubs seems to be a more normal size now - 7lb still, so that's quite good (although I was then worried it was bad it hadn't grown!) also got a stretch and sweep which I wasn't expecting - quite uncomfortable, but not the end of the world. Cervix soft apparently, but still 2 cm long, 1 cm dilated apparently... baby is STILL not engaged! But is otherwise lying in the best position :lol:
Oh and she looked at my birth plan which was good, without me having to ask her to look... so I'm quite pleased with that today.
I asked about bubs not moving at the weekend, moved only 3 times on Saturday, but she wasn't worried as it had been active since then.
Back to the hospital this afternoon for physio - very nice massage - and not a recurrance of the disc problem last time which is a relief.
My bra shopping expedition was interesting - 40DD in Debenhams and 38FF in Pretty Woman - so I have a bra from each shop and will see which works out best!
