What do you think you're having JFG? Are you team yellow? Do you have a slight preference?

Yeah I still have the odd day of nausea-normally in the evening and ive been sick a couple of times too. Im having my GTT test in a couple of weeks and ive been given a glucose monitor which im over using really as feel so guilty if bs go above 7.5..so far im only finding cereals are making my bs go too high so im going to have to stick to boring porridge and eggs! Im on metformin anyway due to some insulin resistance last year in a random blood test. Im hoping once ive had baby and I increase my activity levels/exercise again I will be deemed as 'normal' and not still pre-diabetic...it depresses me as I love my food and im tiny, with no history of sugar issues in family. Anyway im waffling now-sorry!

Do you find baby moves some days more than others? I know it's early and bigger movements will come but sometimes ill feel about 20 within an hour of me chilling and lying down and other times just once or twice (and im off work atm so having lots of opportunities to lie down to feel him) having said that yesterday he bunched right up and it felt tight and I could feel his body as a ball shape plus I could see it sticking out my right side of uterus just where I felt him..and then he kicked! ♥

Monroe are you having anymore cervix checks? So happy for your good measurement

Yesterday my.kidney stone began to terrorize me. HORRIBLE is all I can say. And it took my doctor office from my call at 8 am in tears and severe pain to.call.back at 6 pm, and say,.drink water or go hospital, thank God IM getting a new OB since we are moving.

 

[girlinyork]

Argh, lvn you poor thing. That sounds awful. And what a dreadful sounding doctor x

Hi ladies, hows everyone doing, I have been ok but had a really rubbish midwife appointment tuesday and she made me feel awful. It wasnt my usual one, she was in a rush anyway and I was in there about 5 mins, she tested my urine, which has still blood in it after 4 weeks and antibiotics, just told me to go to the hospital if i start bleeding as I have had no bleeding, its just in my wee. She didnt reasure me whats so ever and refused to check baby's heart beat as said to early, I was 16+6 weeks and lucky I have my own doppler as I have been able to get the heart beat from 11 weeks. I should have said something to her but after all the stuff about the blood still, I froze, it just reminded me of my mmc last year all over again. I came home thinking ok, this baby isnt going to make it. Just awful. I do have my gender scan on monday, so I am hoping things are ok.

 

[flapjack10]

Oh dear LVN! Take care

Kelly - What a horrible midwife! If you feel up to it definitely complain to the Supervisor Midwife about her because it's not on that she plays down blood in wee and offers no reassurance.

[merristems]

Oh Kelly what a crappy midwife Just think how lucky you are that you have a doppla and know baby is ok, I would complain, even if she was late or running behind thats no excuse for poor care. Maybe you should phone docs too and get them to test your infection so you get the correct antibiotics the ones your on are obviously wrong.

 

[girlinyork]

I'd definitely complain about the midwife! That was unacceptable! I'm sure your baby is fine but go to your GP anyway and get the blood checked out seeing as she was so useless. You will love your gender scan x

 

[kelly4]

Thanks ladies, I have text my normal midwife as everything is by text here, and have asked to see her when she gets back from her sick leave, will phone doctors as well and see if they can test it again, I dont know whether it was down to me not drinking enough, so drinking cranberry juice, water and lemon barley as have been told these can help, you ladies know what its like when you miscarry and then the mention of blood again, totally freaks you out. Thank god for my doppler, as prob use it twice a week. Hopefully the scan will put my mind at ease a bit.

 

[girlinyork]

If the blood was in your pee it's more than likely from your bladder. It needs treating so it doesn't hit your kidneys so lots of fluids is definitely order of the day. I'm sure your bladder infection won't effect your rainbow xx

 

[flapjack10]

SCAN DAY! Team

Love love love this child! It's such a cheekyface!

 

[girlinyork]

Awwww FJ, so cute! Did you get any boy or girl intuitions when watching the scan? x

 

[flapjack10]

I had a dream last night that someone told me it was a boy! No inklings though! I was too busy looking at the ribcage....wow it's so amazing!

xxxx

 

[girlinyork]

I had loads of boy dreams lol x
