I had one about 6 months ago, I forgot how often supposed to.have them?


Yea Jess good luck on that plan! Lol!! Let me know how that one works out! What I learned is pitocin=severe contractions/pain=epidural=labor slowing down=more pitocin=epidural runs out= someone please knock me out with a.rock and wake me when it's over!! my epidural did not take effect till 30 minutes AFTER delivery so I got to.feel those.horrible pitocin contractions and the full delivery, then was completely numb for 3.5 hours after and had to lay flat on my back for 6 hours (with the newborn) because of some.effect it had . Ah, the joys!
 
Ohh 6 months ago would be perfect really-it lasts a year so you don't have to worry about having it again whilst pregnant! But yes lots of women have the jab and are ok...mine is due tomorrow but been doing loads of reading including the recent discussions on here...going to talk to mw but yes im sure she wouldn't encourage me to have it if it wasn't safe. I work in a hospital too but am actually off sick for preventative reasons due to flu outbreak...my boss was happy with this as risks too great.

Lvn-im strep b positive too, found out during routine swab at 5 weeks pregnant so ill be on iv antibiotics on a consultant led ward-but tbh it's probably quite good as I'll be a worrier anyway but have consultants around me :-)

LVN, you and Dolly both look adorable and preggie.

My birth plan is to be in the other room when it happens, but I don't know how that is going to work.

:rofl:

I've not had the flu jab. I was meant to get it through work, but then I got pregnant and they wouldn't do it. I keep meaning to get it from GP, but I'm just lazy I guess...

I haven't had the flu jab yet either :wacko: there's so much conflicting advice it's hard to know that to do!

Here's my 18 week bump pic

Ahhhhh! You're so cute pregnant!! I'll post my bump pics after school today! Officialy four months today ;D
 
Beautiful...is photo bucket something on a laptop not on a phone? Ill have a look! Congrats CMF! X
 
Thanks ladies that makes me feel better about my bp now. :flower:

LVn--hope you can find a good ob soon. Ohhh love the bump so cute. :flower:

Dolly--I have had those pains too. Like when you sneeze omg had them since 5 wks and boy did/do they hurt. I have still been having cramps off and on for the past week but HR still good so I guess its normal. love the pic love the bump :thumbup:

A--I know that feeling of better to be safe then sorry and luckly the dr I have now feels the same way thats why he is going to do the checks. Do you know how they are done are they done by US. I was thinking they were b/c he said with my US at 12 wks the cervix looked fine and I did not realize that they even checked it then. Not getting a flu shot. Just don't trust it in the states.

Luman--when do you find out?

jess--my ob always tells me to stay on a low sodium diet but I have not been doing that :blush: I like your birth plan lol :thumbup:

merri--yay for a great scan

beautiful--Awe great bump pic. I want one mine finally poped a little at 15 wks 1 day like over night it was alot more rounder but still small. :dohh:
 
Yes hun, cervix is checked by transvaginal us-mine is next weekend (private)...spoke to my mw today at my appointment and she said unless there is a reason for suspected IC then they wont scan me at 20w...I will push for it when I see obstetrician on Friday as im not prepared for it to be a case of 'ohh sorry, we should have checked'...the thing is it can shorten at any point...so getting it checked at 22 weeks for eg doesn't mean at 24 weeks it wont shorten and become dilated..is that right?

Mw told me to relax as chances are everything will be fine throughout, wish I could!

Gosh im permanently starving! 3rd lunch being cooked!
 
Well thats odd b/c I had a transabdominal US when he told me my cervix looked fine:shrug:. I actually thought that they were transvaginal. Is it possible to ck both ways.:shrug:. I think it is up to the dr when to stop some say you cannot get a stitch after 20 wks and that monitoring won't matter after then but some monitor you till 3rd tri. I am not sure what mine is going to do though I think he might monitor me till 3rd or close to it but IDK.

I know that hungry feeling very well.
 
Ha well my mw said they don't even do the stitch anymore-nor progesterone pessaries! Ridiculous I say. Im just praying I don't have IC as it seems no-one wants to help unless necessary. ..ie a previous loss due to iC.
 
I have been RAVENOUS .I ate two dinners last night! And one was huge.portions! Im starving:(lol. I hope this does not continue

The MFM always checks abdominal when I have my U/S. I think TV is more accurate, but they get a good enough idea abdominal. The MFM told me they can put the stitch in up to 20 weeks after that it's been shown not to be effective.
 
Is anyone still shattered all the time, I seem to be getting at least 12 hours sleep at night, I go to bed way before everyone else, I am just over 16 weeks now and was hoping I would start to feel better, I am pleased the morning sickness has eased but its the tiredness thats the trouble.:sleep:
 
Yep Kelly! I'm still shattered, but it is getting better! There's a lot if growing going on in that belly!

Here's a bump pic of me! 18weeks 5 days:
