And do all pregnant women get seen two times a week starting at 32 weeks?

I'll be seen once a week starting around 36 weeks (depending on my pregnancy goes).
It's different everywhere.




*Also I think my previous message didn't post, I don't see it*

I don't see anything either.

Thanks for responding. It's for the hypertension then why they want to see me so often. At lEast I didn't feel panicked when he said other which is good. I feel they do a good job reassuring me everything will be fine. Even if things turn out bad, I can at least try to be in a mind frame of happiness and say that I had a connection with the baby.I think That's better than being disconnected and of something does happen, having no feelings at all. Even saying it sounds harsh and evil of me.

I normally start crying because I feel hurt. Like I said I still have real feelings and real worries and just because I'm pregnant it DOES not mean that everything is hormones.
When this happens I explain to the person that yes I have hormones going on their own mission but I am justified because of this, this and this reasons.

Usually that helps the situation

Thank you for the support and understanding as well. I love having so many bump buddies who can relate - you all are great

The first time I felt baby / bubbles was at around about 11pm. I've gotten into bed earlier the past few evenings and I seem to be down and out for the count so quick. I don't know if they will normally be active around the same time or not?
If yes, then I probably would have been sleeping through it.
So I guess the answer is 'no' haven't felt anything since that one time

I think it sounds as thou it could be endometriosis nillabean. If so the surgery is sometimes called a laparoscomy I think it's called. I had one a few years back and was pretty straight forward. Only issue I had was a bit of shoulder tip pain due to the medical gas they use to inflate your stomach x
Glad appointment went well apart from that xx

Aww wunna I know the feeling of not getting as much support as you would like and it can be tough, and yeah I also agree people tend to brush it off as hormones and don't take things as serious as I'd like them to. I find it makes me feel a little resentful or that I'm very Lonely.
On the other hand I do suffer with mental health which I don't think helps as I can over react a little or not notice when people are offering help and I'm just too frustrated and wound up to notice silly me. I hope you can find a way to resolve how you feel, and don't forget we are here to support you in what ever way we can xx

Yes ur right.Thanks.haven't been downstairs yet but That's exactly Wat it was. Glad it's went well. What were some of ur symptoms before the operation for them to think u had it...


Also. When u feel stressed and unsupported, how do u manage and how do u get the other person to understand? I need some better tips because I already feel super patient despite how I feel and I dont let that be an excuse.but when it's disrespected it's so bothersome.



Wunna. Did u feel baby tonight?


Hi treetrot


P.s I was as Also told I would carry to 40 weeks. Most likely 37. Anyone have experience being inducedf early? And do all pregnant women get seen two times a week starting at 32 weeks?

My symptoms were very heavy very painfull periods, often I'd pass out or end up in hospital. I got pains around my bottom that effected me going to the toilet around my period. I don't normally go often, maybe once a week but when due on I'd go upto 3-4 times a day and I'd be in agony crying and screaming.
Was very anemic which got worse around the time of periods and experienced a lot of pain during sex x
My doc was adamant I had it but the specialist I was a complete ass so never went back for the results.
Was also told it can come hand in had with PCOS which I'm on the borderline of having x

When I feel unsupported or like someone isn't taking me seriously I tend to seek out being alone and try and think thru rationally what's gone on and if I am over reacting ( prone to this sometimes) or i'll run a bath or go for a drive or if I'm really upset I vent to my best friend who's also pregnant. Nothing like an opinion off someone who really understands what u feel like.
I'm also quite lucky that OH didn't understand the first time round if I really sit and talk to him and explain he will try his very best to make me feel better. Some times he tries to play things off with humour which doesn't always work but he can tell in seconds if I'm upset and will try to put it right xx

I hope ur ok, if your struggling to get the support maybe sit down with OH and really explain how u feel. I find a lot of the time it's because men in particular have absolutely no comprehension of how raging hormones can make you feel xx

 

[pink_phoenix]

Didn't mean to make that post sound like it's ur OH you don't get support from but if he understands how u feel he can support u when ever he can regardless of who or what has upset u. Having that one person that's on your wave length can really help xx

Also the endometriosis is known to get better after child birth which may or may not be true but I suppose u will find out and I hope it gets better for u xx
My friend was seen once a week from about 32 weeks and even tho It can be an inconvenience it does wonders for putting your mind at ease xx

 

[nilllabean26]

Thanks ladies for ur responses. And Yea Thats similar to my symptoms(periods have been bad but never fainted because cause of them. Poor u) .they wanted to put me on birth control a while back because of the pain I complained having and anemia was bad as well. I refused though


No worries lol. It's true. He's not supportive Andorra helpful a lot of the times even when it has gotten really bad because of how selfish he is and how he stays in his own feelings. He stays in his feelings when something affects him and stays in his feeling when something affects me and no support. He then comes to me after the fact and says he cares about me and the baby, but this cycle is horrendous. It's like I would have an anxiety attack or get super sad and express my feelings and poof abandoned and after everything is over he will say He's there for me. I don't need that. He needs to u dresses the seriousness it is for my health and the babies before it even gets to that point. Learn how to be helpful during those moments. I don't care if it's hard either. I know how it feels to do things just because I'm frustrated or tired. Last yr they found out he had an enlarged petuitary gland and when he first took his meds boy Oh boy did if affect him negatively. Even the news. During this time I was vomiting blood and avoided going to the er right away to be there and be supportive ...doesn't mean it was the smartest move, but out of love and care for his health and me being scared for his life and not knowing all details, I couodnt imagine abandoning him like that. So if he is frustrated at stupid doctors or He's tired from work, I think it's time to wake up and push urself a little bit to be there for me if u do care... if ur pissed off about the doctors how do u think I feel? Anywho. Not saying for him to do what I've done but to be more considerate. It's hard to continue to appreciate this after the fact crap.
Sorry for the long post.


On a side note. Has anyone taken the flu shot or will get one?


They keep asking me and i keep saying no. First of all, I really like week to avoid drugs/shots to the best of my ability if I can. I've taken the important ones as a child. I've seen negative reactions to these shots though in children and it's scary. There was thiamine super active intelligent boy who got a shot and became mentally challenge after. He would drool, never spoke another word(just Noises and cries) ,and had to wear diapers again. I understand it's rare but people never Think it will be them because 'it's so rare I doubt it will happen to me'

Sorry for the extra long post now. Let me shut up. U ladies are so awesome and so sweet. Thanks for taking the like to read my lng posts and share your stories with me

 

[pink_phoenix]

I'd be pretty pissed off and tell them what I thought haha! With out sugar coating it!

I must admit tho I've had the same convos or my last one I said I'd lost weight and they told me it was unhealthy so lost my rag a bit as I feel I can't win, I'm classed as obese but I shouldn't be losing weight....erm HELLO!

I just don't have good relationships with the majority of dr's specialists consultants or most helth care professionals to be honest cos they all just talk crap. If they were to the point, said things as they are and dumbed it down so I could understand instead of feeling belittled I wouldn't mind. But there all seem to have heads too far up their own back end for that. Or they don't actually know what there talking about and just fill ur head with BS xx

 

[SmartieMeUp]

Can braxton hicks focus on the back too? Last night I was laid in bed on my laptop and the pain was that intense I had to put the laptop on the floor. Lasted for a good hour. Back cramps were constant and belly tightenings were every few minutes lasting 3-4 seconds.

I didn't get my usual morning tightening today either :/

 

[pink_phoenix]

I have no experience with braxton hicks hun but I hope all is well.
My friend said hers makes her tummy rock hard and crampy as tho she's going to start a period so could well be in your back too x

 

[mdscpa]

I'm experiencing a period like pain for a couple of days now and again tonight... Belly is tightening and super hard.... Have to excuse myself from work coz i cannot stay for another 3 hours..... I hope this is just normal.

 

[nilllabean26]

im watching this now. so do all of you in the uk get a midwife from the hospital to visit you at home? I think this is a very nice program. i dont think we have that here. ob's and midwives are separate.

[SmartieMeUp]

Yeah it was as if a heavy period was trying to force its way out. I had them with #1 but only in my front. I get standard BH's mostly in the mornings but no pain or discomfort with them.

 

[pink_phoenix]

Aww hun that's not good. Maybe just give ur midwife or doc a quick call. She will know much better xx

Nillabean: my midwife it's a service added on to my local doctors surgery. They have 1-2 midwives servicing a few local doctors.
I don't think they come out to your house, mine doesn't atleast, I go to a local children's centre for my appointments. Scans are done at the maternity part of the local hospital. If there are any issues the midwives will refer you to a consultant. I've never seen a ob's or gyne doc during pregnancy only got my investigation surgery a few years back x

 

[thurl30]

Pink is it your scan tomorrow? If so good luck

 

[pink_phoenix]

Yeah it's tomorrow morning thanks xx

 

[WunnaBubba2]

Cannot wait for yourt scan!!!!!!!!!

Oh abd little baby Pink, please show us the goods or lack thereof

 

[treeroot]

nilllabean26 - I haven't gotten the flu shot. I'm certainly not against it, but I'm like you, and would really rather avoid injections of any kind if possible. They also choose the wrong flu strand for this years flu strain so it'll be less helpful then usual.

On widwifes; I'm from Canada and in my province midwifes are completely covered by our health care. She only makes one house visit closer to the end of term. Otherwise I go to see her at the clinic. I go to a separate clinic for my ultrasounds.

 

[pink_phoenix]

I'm excited, I'm at that point now I couldn't care less if it's boy or girl as since I booked the scan I've been increasingly thinking something is going to be up
Hoping will be excited tomorrow haha! Xx

That's ready awesome. I get the feeling when I watch these videos that midwives are a little bit more personable. Pros for both midwives and obs though. Do u feel safe without seeing a doctor during pregnancy? Or would u prefer both



Pink. Will u get a video as well???? How many hours left? This is where being in different timezone is helpful. -I can sleep answer wake up and u probably have already gone to ur appt. Lol. I'm excited for u and hope all goes well.
