My midwife has just come and taken my blood so we can see if it has gone up. Results in this avo and I’m not sure which of us is more nervous – she knows how much I want a homebirth and will nearly be as disappointed as me if it isn’t above 10. I’m feeling peaceful about it, hands open for now. It’ll not be for want of trying – it’s been red meat every night this week plus iron tablets plus 2 different natural iron supplements plus acupuncture plus my entire church praying for 10.0. So if it isn’t 10, there’s probably a bloody good reason. The upside of all this iron is that I have more energy and less grumpiness.
Come wait with me a while and keep your fingers and toes crossed…….
