Helen - that's crazy! I had a very similar experience at my 12 week one and told to rebook for 10 days time but that baby looked fine! (I'd told my midwife my dates were out but she didn't listen) I'm glad that I'd changed my 20 week scan now as the first date they gave me I'd have been 18+4, got it changed to a week later but it's being changed all over again because of the whole chicken pox shebang!
Jade - I don't iron it, just hang it out until it's bone dry and fold it
If you've got any shirts just hang them on a hanger when they're damp and they dry nice and straight and you can't tell if they've been ironed or not
(I hate ironing with a passion, I managed to burn a hole in my ironing board at uni and have never got round to replacing it
)
Rach - The kids mum sounds like a nightmare! My cousin has 6 kids, 7 births and 9 pregnancies and I hope to god she's done, I love them individually to bits but as a collective they're LOUD! And she sits on her arse all day and her OH and mum run round after her while she sits there molly-coddling her youngest and ignores the rest of her kids.
For the many of us who are having GTT tests - take a book! It's a long wait otherwise! I'm not looking forward to mine, I hate drinking fizzy drinks fast let alone Lucozade! At least I can drink the orange flavour rather than original!
Jayne, seriously, 25 and on her 5th?? Sod that, being 25 and turning 26 on my 2nd is enough thank you very much!
Helen - bubs looks so snug in there! I can see why they didn't want to open their legs
and awwww! Yay for private scan on Saturday
Will keep an eye on facebook while I'm at work
Jade - LOVELY bump, I'm envious! And you're not an ugly whale!
Helen - What tests are you thinking of refusing? Have you spoken to your doula yet or will you speak to her tomorrow?
Today I went out, and bloody regretted it, most shops had no air conditioning, it was overcast and humid, tourists were fucking EVERYWHERE getting in the way, walking slowly, kids running all over the place unwatched, one pissing snotty little kid came up to Tegs and tried to hold her hand but wouldn't say anything to her, and then did the same thing again while we were waiting for Luke to pay for the shopping! Rar! Leave her alone and go bug your own sister in her pram! (Obviously I didn't say that apart from to my mum afterwards!)
I did manage to buy a lovely purple dress/tunic/top thingy in New Look for £5 mum was looking at the sale rails for me while I was hunting for decent trousers and she pulled it out and said that it'd look nice and it fits lovely, lots of growing room too, but I had to send to Luke to pay for it as there was no way I was joining a queue that was 30-odd people long with 1 or 2 people on the counter! Had to escape to a bench outside and some stupid twat sat the other side of the bench and nearly pushed me off. I think I need to wear a neon sign that says "Pregnant, do NOT piss off"
Planning on just a walk tomorrow along the prom so that Tegs can also stretch her legs and we can get an ice cream or something, meant to be a lovely day so I might shave my legs and wear my new toppy thing with leggings
We're going to watch True Blood after I've watched the Panorama thing on BBC, featuring one of the members on here
One of my fellow Septembryo's who's had another bambino. Should be good
Although I think they're also investigating the care we get on the maternity wards, which should be interesting viewing!
theres one appt next tues at 2.30 but Id have to leave work early and we have the nhs scan at 4pm so is there much point? I dont want to go away upset again tho if they treat me in such an offhand manner.
