Hi mountainboo, given up on the sleep thing lol
Yes it is perfectly normal to have routine bloods done again. You will also have a third lot done at about 36 weeks. Thye definatley have to keep an eye on your iron levels because if they are lower than 11, you are risk of heavy/serious bleeding. At the moment, mine are too low for me to be allowed a home birth but Im on daily iron tablets to hopefulyy get them up. Im to be tested again in a few weeks and keeping fingers tightly crossed!
As for them being rough, theyre not really, it just feels like it! lol They need to feel properly to keep a check on position etc but dont worry, its no where hear as rough on baby as on you as baby is well protected by the fluid. I was told that baby in breach position is more tender and know how tender it is as mine is in breach postion! As this is my second though, baby may not turn and settle til almost near the birth unlike first time pregnancies. They normally settle between 34 and 37 weeks so yes, you still have lots of time yet.
Anyone want my heartburn by the way? Ive had 6 months worth in one day today! lol
