34W 1D 助産婦定期健診　Regular Check up

助産婦検診。きょうの助産婦さんは、私達の出産前クラスを担当しているAnnだった。「あなたの予定日は私の誕生日よ」と、彼女。

珍しく検尿の結果異常なし。血圧正常。赤ちゃんの心音正常。触診により、赤ちゃんは私の体の左から右に下がる形でいたようだが、私が「どっちに頭があるんですか」と聞くと、Annは「ちょっと難しいわね。上も下も硬いからなあ」としばらく触っていた。すると、「あ、赤ちゃん私のこと嫌いね」とAnnが手を離す。赤ちゃんは、突然、やめてーって動いたようだ。その瞬間に赤ちゃんの体が真っ直ぐ縦に移動して、結果的には頭が下の位置に移った。

まだこの時期は赤ちゃんもよく動くので、位置はまだ変わるらしい。

今後は２週間おきに助産婦による定期検診がある。

Check-up with midwife. Today's midwife was Ann, the one who is in charge of our Antenatal Class. She told me my due date is on her birthday.

Unusually, the urine check was clear. Blood pressure normal. Baby's heart beat normal. Ann checked the baby by touching my bump. The baby was lying from the top left to the bottom right of the bump. I asked her, 'Which side is the head?' She said it was difficult to tell as both sides were quite hard and kept touching. Suddenly, she released her hands saying, 'Your baby does not like me.' The baby moved suddenly, probably wanted to tell her 'Stop it!' At this moment, he moved straight to my body with his head down.

According to Ann, babies at this stage still moves lots and the position keeps changing.

From now on, we will have a regular check-up with a midwife in every 2 weeks.
