figured i should type this up now, for fear i will just ignore it ever happened, but i don't dare let anyone take away one single good day of my pregnancy away from me. so here goes.

went for my last u/s yesterday and the u/s tech (the old biddy) was either new or came down from a different office because she was rude from the word go. first, she was pissy because i told her i didn't see my dr that day that i'm on every other week and i'll be seeing her next week. i had to repeat that like 3 times, no lie. then i lay down like normal and she keeps asking me to move over to where i'm practically on the floor (mind you i've had 9 of these already, not one u/s tech has had an issue with me laying in the middle). then she was just snippy for no reason. normally the women are really happy, nice and upbeat pointing things out and just talking, this old fart? none of it. when she started to go over the babies weight as being 7lbs, i made the comment of "good thing these things are off because i don't want an 8 lb baby". her response? "it's ok, you're a big girl, you can handle it". um..excuse me you old wench? 1. i'm not THAT big and 2. who the hell are you to make a comment like that and 3. wtf does the amt of fat on my body have anything to do with getting an 8 lb baby out of my lady bits?!
good thing they turn the lights off cuz i was about in tears and steaming red hot.

besides the rude comments, i also noticed the tech taking measurements of fluid around abby's heart, which to say the least was disheartening. i was/am an emotional wreck after thinking the worst all night in thoughts that "oh no, not again". so much so i fell asleep at 8pm last night and woke up with bh and cramping, knowing that i stressed myself out too much and abby was starting to feel it. broke down in tears from the whole day as dh was leaving for work, ordered to stay here, calm down and wait to hear what dr wanted to do about the fluid.


after a day of my dr looking at the u/s and doing what she needed to do, everything has come back great. the fluid is measuring less than what was there before so everything should be fine. baby has always measured consistently a week ahead which she still is. nurse also told me she's most likely not 7lbs, babies normally always measure big which is nice, tho a small worry. i want her healthy most importantly, but 2nd i want her to be a healthy weight. since she's consistent with what she's been since 20 weeks, we're going with the same induction date, dr sd no need to make it any earlier.


dr also put me on zoloft as i fear i'll have a big case of ppd. really wish i would've only taken a half pill today because if it's not for having to go to the bathroom cuz i'm 9 months along, i'm in the bathroom cuz i'm sick from the pills. will cut the pills in half starting tomorrow in hopes it'll be softer on my belly and still get the drug in me in time for when baby comes.

sorry for the essay. i'll post the u/s pics later, tho they're rather crappy.

AWW Dana!! What a horrible cow! it is NONE of her business about whether or not you can b irth an 8lb baby and not her place to comment on it. Glad the fluid is less though. Sorry you had a rough time with it and hope you're feeling better with the bathroom problem!

 

[DanaBump]

thanks emmy and sam.


apparently i just need to snack cuz when i'm eating, i feel better. i'm going to cut the pills in half for the next week in hopes that it gets in my system in time to avoid ppd, but also gentler on my tummy. my SIL just told me she's on it and that's what she did and it worked much better. fingers crossed.

oh ladies, I have a bit of an embarrassing question for you

in the last couple of days, I've been a lot more smelly than normal, quite a unique smell (can't describe it though) - any ideas? I see the MW tomorrow and I did wonder about it being thrush, but just thought I'd ask here too

it's not a very nice smell

e2a it's a bit of a vinegary smell - I've done some searching and it seems it's quite common in third tri - bah, another truly undignified symptom of pregnancy

it has 30 pages in and u can have up to 6 photos per page and personalise with colours and text etc x

 

[bernina]

dana. Sorry you had such a crap u/s tech! Glad that your dr thinks everything is looking just fine, very reassuring. Hope the 1/2 dose helps to ease your discomfort and glad that snacking is helping. That's something us pregnant women are very good at!

Cute bump pic EmmysMummy!!!

Gertrude, at certain times (pregnant or not) my discharge will have a faint vinegar odor. I very rarely (knock on wood!) get yeast infections so am pretty sure it's just a normal part of the cycle and/or later pregnancy. It's usually when it's thinner and white that I notice the smell. The funny thing is while we were having all our problems ttc and I wasn't ovulating regluarly the vinegar smelling discharge was absent. So I almost look at it for me as a good thing because once it was back I was pregnant!

 

[gertrude]

thanks bernina - can't say I've noticed it before but I'd been on the pill for about 14years so maybe it never occurred before

could do without it though! hoping it passes soon!

is it itchy or anything? maybe ask midwife to take swab xx

 

[x-Rainbow-x]

i would always find a reason to be swabbed around now anyway , then you can see if anything like gbs is picked up too x

 

[gertrude]

nope not itchy or anything - I had a phase of recurrent thrush a few years ago and this just isn't like any of that - if anything it all feels fine! just whiffy

 

[AmethystDream]

MissFox - After reading about your hubby I looked at OH, read him the story then told him if he had any thought at all about brandishing a glove in my direction he could get to f***

Gem - Any more news? Hope you and Ollie are doing OK.

Lisa - Oh how poo Hope they are treating you well, you are just down the road from me too. I'll wave at AP as we go by.

Dana - Poor you! Some horrible buggers about, hope you spoke to someone about her, nasty old bag. I had a bad scan too (20 week one ). Dozy bitch got everything wrong, every measurement was completely messed up and it turned out that she wasn't a regular at the hospital. She had also managed to mess up every other scan she did too so they all had to be redone.... Needless to say we haven't seen her face around there since

EmmysMummy - Lovely pic, thankyou for sharing.

Rainbow - Wow, how quickly has that gone by already! Hope little guy is alright and that he isn't too fussed by his lump. Thanks for the photo link too, much appreciated

Well, I'm in a bit of a dilemma, ladies. Nothing to do with little guy or the girlies, thankfully. We have had some news through that could prove to be good but also has a pretty bad flip side to it. I wont go into too many details at this stage but I will say that I am quite emotional and not really managing to see the pluses at the moment. Some fairly serious bad bits to what could be a lifeline for us and yet I genuinely just can't see past the bad at the moment. Oh bloody poopy arse bum crap. Hormones are raging.

 

[CrazyBird]

Gertrude my midwife swabbed me as I had also noticed a funny smell and also my wee smelt horrible (so embarrasing) it came back that I have thrush and she gave me a canestan pessary but the smell is still there. The thing is I'm not itchy down there and I thought thrush made you itchy. I've also looked on google and it did mention that things can get a bit smelly down there in the third tri. So gross though lol

 

[gertrude]

amethyst - don't do anything just sleep on it things always seem clearer in the morning

crazybird - I will mention it but urgh, I really don't like the smell! it's white wine vinegary (thats how bored I am tonight )

in other news I think I've broken my toe and was actively seeking sympathy and then my BIL has just broken his wrist now I feel a fraud moaning about my toe

 

[CottlestonPie]

Right. It's official... I'm now too big of a lump to get myself out of the bath!!

 

[lilgemsy]

i want to catch up properly with everyone like i can at home but cant multitab properly on this silly computer!
but i am reading all posts, just cant reply to them realy cos by the time i get to typing i forget what people have said!
so anyone feeling shit or w.e then big hugs for you... anyone been given dates, how exciting!
ill do a proper catch up thing when im home...

no idea when that will be though.
scan didnt go too well... consultant said theres more an more showing up with each scan...
low femur length, small baby, low amniotc fluid, enlarged baby kidneys...
