Holy cow. I had my tdapp shot yesterday and I can't believe how sore it is today. I can't do anything with my arm or raise it.

I don't know if it was my outfit today or what, but everyone at work was commenting that "you look ready to pop" and "I don't think your stomach can get bigger!" Even the phlebotomist today said that she was surprised I'm due Oct 1 because I look like I'm due today. Also someonecommented tthat they could tell I'm tired because my eyes are puffy. What in the world?!
 
So ive always had a few of those spider veins on my legs but never varicose veins but tonight i noticed a tiny bump on my vagina and i looked in the mirror and it looks like a tiny varicose vein about the size of a pencil eraser if even.. Ohhhh pregnancy and its pleasantries... Anyone else have this?
 
Ok so... if any of you need to take the 24 hour urine collection test for pre-eclampsia, make sure you get 2 jugs.

I filled up a one gallon jug in just over 12 hours. They clearly underestimated how much a lady in 3rd trimester with twins can pee. Now I have to take it again. :dohh:

I had the same with my tdapp! Took 2-3 days before it felt ok again, I got red lump for my trouble which took about a week to disappear
 
D_S - My husband is actually doing a 24 hour wee test right now (not for pre-e of course) and he's thinking he should have grabbed a second container too!
 
I didn't have any soreness issues with my Tdap. It just bled more than I think shots usually do. I was surprised, because my arm gets really sore after the flu shot, but the Tdap was really nothing. I was kind of bummed I had to pay $45 out of pocket for it, though.

Hubs needs to hurry up and get his done. It can make you an asymptomatic carrier per pertussis for 1-2 months after getting vaccinated. We also both need to get our flu shots.



I also need to reach out to my mom again about getting proof that they've gotten the vaccine. She is fighting me SO HARD, and thinks I should just take her word for it that they're vaccinated "because her doctor is good". Adults aren't commonly vaccinated for pertussis! :dohh:
 
GP is tdap your vaccination for whooping cough? I don't think my husband can get it on the NHS, silly really if there's the risk of him passing it onto our little one! I don't think it's offered to partners as standard.

I've been thinking about getting a group b strep test done.. Hopefully my consultant will take the results seriously if they come back as positive! They didn't listen to me when I had a SCH that was picked up on a private scan.

We had a site meeting today for the work we have to have done on our house.. Only the people treating the damp didn't bring their diary, so we've still no start or end date for the work! Sigh. Husband is getting very very stressed now. I'm trying to stay calm as stress pushes my blood sugar numbers higher.
 
Ginger - she is saying she is already vaccinated but she didn't specifically get it donerecently for the baby? I would just say "its your choice but unfortunately if I can't be certain we really can't risk baby spending time with you". I have to have this discussion with the in laws today. ... they find it odd that me and Adam are getting vaccinated! And he's a family doctor and she's a nurse! !!

Speaking of crazy family. ... my MIL is so testing the waters with me. She doesn't agree that babies can't have ANYTHING in the crib until they are a year. Oh but cute bumpers! Oh but that's not how it was when the boys were babies! Oh but won't eddie be cold?! Luckily at this point she is listening to what I'm saying. I'm respectful but pretty matter of fact.

Yes, Tdap is for tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough).

I hope you're able to get some of your stressors out of the way!

Yeah, she's saying she's had to have already had it done because she works in a hospital. She's a nurse too! But in the state where she works, the only thing that's required for hospital workers is MMR and flu. I just want proof that they've had it done, is all. But she's acting like I'm accusing her of picking a shoddy doctor or something. She seems more upset that I would doubt her doctor than she is about the possibility of killing my newborn with a preventable illness!

Glad your MIL is respecting your wishes for now. She sounds like my mom. My MIL has been golden!
 
I had my whooping cough last week OMG my arm hurt for 3 whole days :(

I had my anti-d yesterday and although that hurt going in you feel it :wacko: it hasn't hurt since :thumbup:

I need my flu jab but they are not about until September :dohh:
 
Muwahahaha!

I called the hospital where my mom works and asked them which vaccines were required for their employees, and Tdap is NOT on the list. So I texted her asking if she'd checked with their PCP, and she admitted they did need a booster and would be getting it soon.

I had my anti-d last week and it hurt like hell going in!!! I had to really stop myself from swearing like a sailor in front of my obstetrician. :haha: No hurties at all afterwards though, but holy crap it was painful while it was happening.

When I had it with DS we warmed it up in my hands before it was injected and it didn't hurt at all this time it was straight from the fridge and OUCH!!
 
Hi Ladies, can't believe you's are well into third tri already. How exciting! I don't pop in as often as I used to but I do follow a little. Hope you's are all doing well and preparations for the little ones are well under way xx
 
Just seen your ticker Natasha. Massive congrats x
 
I have updated gender storks on the front page based off of poll results! (There were a lot of people who voted who aren't in the group, nor are they even due in October... :dohh: Makes it harder to see who I really need to update!)

If anyone knows if they're team yellow/pink/blue and your name hasn't been updated or I've got you down wrong, let me know!
