Oh that would drive me insane! I'm so sorry they're intruding on you like that. I had to tell my midwife that I was on citalopram for one month due to stress from family etc before getting pregnant and from that she's put me down as having a history of mental illness and that got on my nerves lol I hope the HV can see that you're fine!

My guess would be this is their reaction to the fact that post natal care at the hospital is considered to be failing as is children's services at social services. I seriously doubt they'll actually be worried once they meet me and Daniel but why say 'you've been identified as a high risk mum?'. I know I'm not one but I guess they're expanding their net due to the failings in services.
She told me I needed to take my son to his 2 year checks. I did that when he was 2, surprisingly, and the health visitor there said he was a healthy, happy, well behaved little boy with above average development and that we had a lovely bond. I can see why they'd be worried based on that, lol.

Madness seems to be all politics then Mrs Bump try not to let her stupid wording get to you too much

Been away for awhile, finally able to catch up on you all posts.

midwife went well.
she has put in a complaint because I still haven't heard about an extra scan she's referred me for. she thinks its because I have one at 28 weeks anyway. blood pressure seems to be on the up. 110/58. 110 is a little high for me.
she said the feeling less movements at this stage is normal because baby is about the same size as the placenta.
she didn't do my fundal height just said I had a nice bump and actually wrote in my notes nice bump. so measured it myself and came out at 21 22 which actually isn't bad as baby is small.

Evening ladies hope you are all well.

Is anybody else starting to feel really exhausted. I've just finished my 4 days at work, we have a friend visiting so I got to stay in bed until 10 then we went out and about by 3 is was falling asleep and had to have a nap. Feeling so much better now and full of energy again. But I was sat in the sofa dozing off mid sentence before hand.

Exciting new is hubby and I are off too see Kevin bridges tomorrow night!!!

I'm quite tired most days - I wonder if my quality of sleep is lowered? I depend on a cup of coffee and carbs in the morning just to get up and about.

I do OK in the afternoons, but by evening I'm yawning and just feel ready to collapse into bed!

I am exhausted and falling asleep after dinner. It doesn't seem to matter how much sleep I get either.

I've been feeling energized most days. I think its from exercise and just being so busy. But after running around with DS in the mornings, dropping him off at school, work all day, exercise, picking up DS, making dinner, then putting DS to bed, doing the dishes. After all of that I"m ready to just sit on the couch watch one of my shows and go to bed. Its like if I just keep moving I'm fine but the moment I stop I get really tired.

Same Mimzy once I sit down the tiredness hits me
I have just sat down and now I am done

 

[aley28]

Third trimester!! (Already!?)

10 weeks to full term.

11 weeks to when I'll be desperate for baby to come out

13 weeks to due date.

14 weeks to when I'll accept induction, unless medically necessary before that.

 

[Mrs_Bump]

Aley I know it's crazy to be third tri already. It's highly unlikely I will go past due dates due to my risk of placental failure so it's a 40 week max for me. Getting a bit scared now, eek!

 

[aley28]

MrsBump, eek!!

I'm terrified now! I've been having days of being scared to death since my BFP, but now its becoming more real! How am I going to manage THREE KIDS?? I must be nuts

 

[littlesteph]

I've already been told i'll be lucky to make it to term. but I think that's more the consultant going on previous pregnancy. He hasn't seen the results of my 20 week scan yet, i'm hoping come my 28 week scan baby would have all caught up.

 

[Twag]

Yay 3rd tri ladies cannot wait but so not prepared at all

 

[Mimzy3]

I'm getting super anxious too! Its gone by so fast! I'm scared of how my little guy is going to adjust and just how different our routine is going to be. Back again to no sleep and crazy mornings

I was at a bachelorette party yesterday and one of the girls said "oh I didn't know if you were prego of just really bloated" how rude! Than another lady before our massage asked if I was out of my first trimester. I said hmm yes almost in my third. They kept saying how small I am but I'm measuring ahead?!

 

[Twag]

I do not know why people think it is okay to comment on the size of a pregnant lady!!! It is so annoying!!

Mimzy I am also starting to worry about how I am going to cope with my two and how my routine is going to work ah well I am sure it will all fall into place

 

[aley28]

People can be so rude about bump sizes! The ones that are just plain ignorant I can forgive, but people who are rude really need a thump on the head.

Being told you're small is not flattering, really. And being told you're huge is just terrible "Are you sure its not twins?" OMFG do you REALLY think you're the first person to ask me that? GOSH HOW CLEVER AND HILARIOUS ARE YOU? Why can't people just STFU completely? Or, if they HAVE to say something, just say, "My! You look beautiful during pregnancy! Here, let me go buy you some ice cream, as I know how shitty it is to be pregnant in the heat!"

 

[Amcolecchi]

3rd trimester starts at 27 weeks, right? I am a little over 25!!! I am hoping to give birth early lol!

 

[Twag]

Ha ha I hope my little miss is early or at least on time 😊
