Jayne, that's completely ridiculous about the midwife. She probably overslept or something and just didn't want to tell you. Ass! And there's no way her measurements were right if you were just there last week and slightly under. Stupid people shouldn't be allowed to work with pregnant women! And thanks for the "happy birthday" for Nick! He loves the restaurant, too, but it really is my favorite. He's a sweetheart sometimes!
Awww Helen, hope you feel better soon! I know it's not the same, but
from me!
Rachel, I'm a dental hygienist. Here it's considered fine to work on women during the second trimester, however they usually only do it if it's something that REALLY needs done right away. You typically only have to have a very small amount of anesthetic anyway and there's no proof that it effects the baby at all. Still, we try to do everything on the safe side so if it's something small they'll wait til after baby. If it's abscessed or hurting you all the time, then it's usually better to go ahead and have it pulled or fixed. I don't think they would do the general anesthetic, just a local, but I'm not sure on that one.
Jade, hope they can give you a reason you're still hurting. I've had a lot of pains getting up and down today. Yesterday it was like I wasn't even pregnant because I could bend down and get back up with no problem whatsoever. Today every time I get out of a chair it hurts. Who knows???
As for weight, I think I've put on another pound this week, but it varies up and down by a pound or two still. So that's got me up about up to about an 8 lbs gain at the doctor, but really about 12 lbs since I gained a few the first couple of weeks before I got sick.
I'm still craving sweets like crazy, and I feel so guilty about it. Just came back from the grocery store, and Nick went with me which is always bad. Like taking a kid to the store! Came back with a lot of sweets. I'm being so bad!
