Skweek,
That really sucks!!! I guess that might be the downfall of universal healthcare. Overall, I know the system there is good, but seeing specialist is very hard. Here we pay a fortune out of pocket, but we see who we want when we want or we switch. Call and make a fuss because it is cutting it too close. You are bloody full term in 2 days!!!

I think one of the reasons why they couldn't make a decision is because they don't know the position of my coccyx. I will be phoning my chronic pain consultant in the morning and demanding to get the xray that is in my file. If not the xray, then at least a report stating the position of my coccyx.

Just back from the dentist - well feeling a bit better - cause he actually treated. He managed to remove 1 of the 2 nerves. Hoping it relieves me of the intense pain I've been in since the weekend. He did say to expect discomfort till sometime over the weekend. I have a tin of chicken soup for dinner tonight. Just contemplating when I should have dinner.

 

[KatM]

Elaborate on the coccyx please. You have not mentioned this.

I am glad the dentist could help. Ouch, you have been having a rough time.

 

[skweek35]

the coccyx is the last bone of your spine.

When I was 10years old, I slipped and landed on my butt which shifted my coccyx into a 90' angel from where it should be. Once it healed up I had no problems till about 4 years ago when I re-injured it. The pain seems to come on if I have been sitting down for too long, esp if I've been sitting on a soft chair.
Had a procedure last year (ganglion impar block) whereby a long term epidural is injected under an x-ray. So can't have any of those till after LO comes along.
Saying that, the pain has not been as bad as it usually gets, but I think its because pregnancy loosens things up a bit.
Just hoping things don't get too bad too quickly after LO arrives.

Skweek,
You are almost there. Please keep us posted when you go into labor and give birth. Can't wait to see pics of your sweet girl.

 

[skweek35]

I sure will!!
Just sitting around waiting for things to start here, is getting really frustrating!!I have even started a new project - knitting a blanket!! That is how bored I am!!

How is everyone else doing?

 

[KatM]

I just took my hospital tour and am happy with how forward thinking they are. Overall, I feel great. Been a bit more moody, but no major complaints. Enjoy this down time. Soon you will be busy, busy, busy.

 

[Bonnie1990]

Wow sqweek-brings new meaning to TWW!
I can't believe it's so soon already.

And Kat, your not far behind

And then we have bbear

LW-how are you? Hope you caught the eggy

AFM-totally missed cycle.
At least I can't drink without guilt for bday right?

 

[KatM]

Bonnie,
I thought your 40th B-Day celebration had already passed. If not, have a wonderful night drinking.

 

[Bonnie1990]

No-it's not until Wednesday.
Not sure what the plans are. All I have been told is to dress business casual (my usual) and that I need heels, not my usual black sneakers I wear

 

[skweek35]

Hi Ladies

Yes TWW here we come again!! After seeing yet more stretchies, I am so ready to get my figure back!!! I think they have made their appearance since she dropped a bit more today.

Well I think I am officially bored - I have started knitting a blanket! And even if I have to say so myself - its not looking too bad!!! I did have to run to my mom and landed up redoing the casting on and first 2 rows. Finished almost 30 rows now and looking really good. So proud of myself

 

[KatM]

Bonnie,
Yes, I knew he was going to surprise you, but I thought it was last week. I'm excited to hear what he planned. Keep us posted.

Skweek,
I have been a full-time housewife for over a year and am rarely bored. I like taking it easy, exercising, cooking, and am studying for the real estate exam. It's great that you are knitting a blanket.

 

[Lotus Womb]

Hey ladies,

Bonnie sorry it was a missed cycle. I know you will have a great birthday celebration.

Skweek lol I love that you are knitting and sorry you are board but Kat's enjoy things like sleep now.

Kat not long for you either the time is flying by ladies.

AFM I am 8dpo had some tender breast a few days a go but nothing major. As usual just waiting it out.

 

[bbear690]

Ooooh 2 ww wait again skweek, hope bubba isn't too comfy in there and goes over xxx I have always wanted to learn to knit, might have a go when I start mat leave and get some time to myself xx

Bonnie hope you are well x

Lw hope they are good signs for you Hun

Kat hope you are well and enjoying your last trimester x


Afm, had a really good week, felt really energetic, blood pressure has been good, baby moving loads!! Only 1 more week til half term yay lol


Been looking at baby names and we have only agreed on one name so far which is for a girl. We both like Lottie what do you think ?
Probably be a boy as we can't think of any boys names atall :/

 

[skweek35]

Hey ladies,

Well taken me a good few rows to get the hang of changing colours mid-row, but now thinking I might take it all out and start again as I think its a bit narrow for a buggy blanket. Its less than 45 cm/17inches wide! Would have liked it to be a bit wider. Might take it round to my mom's tonight and get her verdict.

Kat - I think I would need a few hobbies to keep me busy and the boredom at bay. Maybe a spot of exercise, cooking, baking and a touch of studies would do it for me too!

LW - make sure you just chill out for a bit for the next week. FXed and let us know how you get on this cycle.

Bbear - When are you planning on starting your mat leave?

LO seems to be really active while I'm knitting. I think she likes it when I'm this relaxed. Might need to start a bit of walking soon but with all the wet weather hanging around at the mo I don't think I will get out any time soon! Might need to wait a week or 2.

 

[KatM]

Skweek,
When you move the baby gets rocked to sleep. They wake when we are still. You are used to working full-time, so I am sure this is a HUGE change. Sounds like knitting is quite the hobby. I know you finished the nursery and have all the clothes. Maybe a few chic lit books to indulge in before the baby comes.

BBear,
You are almost 2/3rd there hon. Lottie is very cute. Are you team yellow until the baby is born?

 

[bbear690]

Yes staying team yellow


Starting mat leave at Christmas so will be 34 weeks but actually put 7th jan down as that's when kids go back to school.

Can't wait

 

[Lotus Womb]

Hey ladies,

14dpo and still waiting. Temps still up. Want to wait to 18dpo to test. I rarely get past 13 or 14 dpo so I am not sure. Some symptoms but just gonna wait a few days. I don't dare get excited.
Hope your all well xx

 

[KatM]
