HAPPY 26 WEEKS!!!​

This means we only have 1 week left in 2nd trimester than it's on to the home stretch. SUPER EXCITING! Kinda scary for me though, anyone else?

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Yep ...... scary for me too!!

 

[katerdid]

I'm scared out of my wits lol. I feel like I still have so much to do before baby comes!

 

[sam#3]

woohooo.... happy 26 weeks ladies

I cannot believe how fast this is going... not long now XD XD XD sooo exciting!!

Im pretty sure my little lady is head down atm as im getting some lovely head grinding against cervix feelings tonight!! Lavvvvly!

When does everyone have their next appt with anyone? We have a consultant appt a week on mon, and i need to call the midwife to make an appt for 28 weeks too for a repeat of iron count bloods... fun!!

 

[x-TyMa-x]

My next appointment is my 28week one and its on 5th august, i will be getting my Anti D injection then too

 

[Phantom710]

Next Appt is on the 20th for 27 weeks

 

[Mary Jo]

my next appt should have been at 28 weeks, which is July 27th, but I miscalculated and booked it for the 20th. hoping it won't be a problem, because it would really suit me to leave it, since it is looking hopeful that we'll complete on selling my flat/buying our new house that week, and it would be a right pain to have to come back for an appt. an even bigger pain if we were moving on the 27th itself.

I know they do bloods for iron, etc, again, but surely one week out won't really matter?

 

[x-TyMa-x]

I hope not cuz mine aint till the 5th august!!

 

[Mary Jo]

I'm sure it'll be be fine for both of us. my appts were never exact last time round, not even to the right week mostly, it just so happens that all my scans and appts have been on Wednesdays this time and all booked so far in advance that they were in the right week.

went to the doc today about my heartburn. Gaviscon Advance hasn't been working, plus I cant afford to keep buying it (and can't be bothered to keep going back for more prescriptions, since I was going through a massive bottle in a week). so I've been prescribed omeprazole, which worked well last time. hoping it is a miracle worker because I completely forgot to buy anything for emergencies/transition, and there's nowhere left open now that I can get to easily and buy a box of Rennies if I absolutely need it for tonight. we have milk, that's going to have to do. but I'm nervous!

 

[x-TyMa-x]

fingers crossed the omeprazole works mary jo, theres nothing worse than heartburn i hate it , ive got it really bad again too and i am considering phoning the midwife to see if theres anything she can give me as like you.... nothing is working and i cant afford to keep buying it all x

 

[Mary Jo]

it is so awful. last time I got omeprazole at 29 weeks, so I am a little ahead of myself, but I am bigger. I am sure my tummy is more squashed up than it was at 26 weeks before. when I first got the Gaviscon Advance it was ok, got me through the night anyway, but then it ran out and I couldn't face taking Adam back with me to the docs, but couldn't get an appt for the days my husband was home. so I bought it but I must have spent £20-£30 over the last 3 weeks, and I can't carry on like that.

thankfully the doc was great. he was going to prescribe ranitidine but when I told him omeprazole really worked well last time he said ok, if you know it works you can have it. I was worried he'd insist I try ranitidine first but no.

can you go to your GP for something better? it's just one of the worst side-effects IMO. up there with SPD.

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Ranitidine Is the only thing that helped with my Pre pregnancy heartburn but is it safe for pregnancy use?? I will maybe mention that stuff your on.
I agree it's deffo one of the worst alongside SPD
