Update from me. :)
Had another midwife appointment today. Measuring 37 weeks, 4 days bigger than dates. Baby is 3/5ths engaged. No sign of any abnormalities in urine so last week must have been a blip. And Iron levels have gone up considerably. Also midwife said my bump is all baby and that he was going to be sturdy? He is lying head down in the middle and she said he needs to choose a side lol
Have a feeling he may not be early after all 3 more weeks to go, feels like forever. How are you ladies doing?

I'm seeing the midwife today for my 38 week check so we'll see what he's up to, my guess head down with his back to my right, he was at my 20 week scan and has been ever since. Quite often when I look at my bump it's larger on my right hand side. The question is will he be engaged or still free.
I had my 38 week check yesterday (at 38+3) bubs is lower he's resting on my pelvis but not engaged. They called the registrar in to talk about what happens now, given all the tests (that we let them do) and that the scan show no sign of pataus they're going to let me labour like a normal low risk person, but they certainly won't let me go more than 10 days overdue without inducing, there will be no leeway there regardless of how busy they are. He did say that they might be able to do a sweep next week if he's engaged, since I'll be 39+3 so practically at my due date but if he's not engaged they wouldn't risk it just in case they ruptured the waters, though he did quickly say but you'd be in hospital anyway so if they did there'd be no big problem that couldn't be easily dealt with. They will perform a sweep the following week at 40+3 if he's not turned up to try to avoid inducing a week later.
