Looking forward to seeing your 4d pics Debbie Got mine on Sunday

Gutted, don't think Marks going to go for another baby after this one, said he doesn't want to see me in this state again. Tried to explain each pregnancy is different but have to wait and see xxx

 

[minidancer]

As Debbie how exciting you have your 4d this week, you get to see your wee princess again! Good luck at your midwife app too.

Chloe I hope the time passes quick for you too, we are here to keep you company!

How did you get on at doc Rose? Aw Hun don't worry he will probably change his mind again when Isobelle is here, he changed his mind before so he can do it again

Chloe- No, haven't been to the DR for the RLS as there is nothing they can do. There is no cure for it. I am comforted in the fact that as soon as this little one pops out it will go away though. It only seems to flare up when I am pregnant. I think it has to do with the baby on my nerves when I am laying down or sitting for a prolonged time.

Oh, guess what?!? I heard Zoey for the first time with my doppler!! I know, lol, at almost 28wks! Haha! She was either hiding or my doppler was a piece of crap! Lol! But she is finally so big that it picks it up right away every time! Now I am addicted! Lol! You can also hear her kicking the heck out of the doppler!

Brandy restless legs can be a sign of iron deficiency apparently. Doesn't seem to make any difference to mine though, although I might need my thyroxine increasing that affects it too. Glad you got to hear Zoey on doppler

Suze, haven't been yet. As my daughter needed an appointment too which I made for her they refused to see me as I said her name first, absolutely ridiculous! I'm going up with her and demanding to be seen as I can't stand it anymore, literally finding it difficult to stand up straight at times, something is not right. Isobelle still kicking away thankfully. I think it could be an infection, haven't had anymore large globs of discharge luckily, hope it wasn't the plug starting to go its a bit early for that!!

 

[minidancer]

Brandy woohoo for finally picking up Zoey on your Doppler!!

That's is crap Rose, your doctors and midwife seem to be totally shit!! Yes definitely demand to be seen they can't keep fobbing you off with its just pregnancy!! Trust your instincts! Don't worry you can start losing your plug really early and it doesn't mean labour is imminent, the plug can regenerate.

I have been feeling really uncomfortable over the weekend. Getting that horrible breathless feeling, like I can't catch a proper breath. Can't wait for this little man to drop and give my lungs and organs a bit of space!! Is anyone else feeling like this? xx

 

[moggi]

He reluctantly gave me co-codamol which unfortunately doesn't agree with me lol. Said I needed to be reviewed by the midwife asap, guess when she can next fit me in? 19th of March, I give up.

As for feeling breathless all the time I know what you mean, having to sleep propped up at night, feel about 90 honestly!

 

[minidancer]

I am glad you have been given stronger pain killers. Your midwife sounds absolutely rubbish hun! Is there an assessment clinic or department in the hospital you could go to instead? Surely they can't leave you until then, especially if you are worried!!

 

[dt1234565]

That's true about the plug, I lost mine 3 times with Sonny x. I do hope you get some answers though. Whatever happens always trust you gut feeling x

Brandy well done on the doppler, mines crap too haven't used it since I've felt her kicking, may get the bugger out see if it does anything!

Rose don't worry, dh always wanted 4 kids, I only wanted 2. Then just one more, then an even number! This lo is definitely the last though am far too old now! So never say never!! He'll change his mind xxxx

 

[meganOUFC]

Got my results back from the doctors today from my 28 week blood test on Friday and I'm anaemic :/ more tablets!

 

[minidancer]

Aw Megan no wonder you have been feeling crap, low iron is horrible!! Get plenty of fresh orange juice down you, it helps with iron absorption

 

[meganOUFC]

Great! More heartburn!

Leanne hope your results come back ok today so you don't need to do the longer one.

The nursery fees you found are probably the average, they are slightly less than the fees where I live. I didnt go back to work after having my little one for those exact reasons. It just wasn't worthwhile, I would basically just be working to pay for nursery fees and I didn't like my job enough to justify that. Have you looked into child care vouchers? Your employers can agree to the scheme, but I'm not sure exactly how it works, there will be lots of info online about it. You need to do what you feel us best for you. Could you maybe go for the job and then see how you feel once little one is here. You might be able to give them an answer earlier and it gives them time to find a replacement, or maybe you will decide in that time you would want to go back xx

 

[moggi]

I haven't even looked at nursery fees yet! I think i better start XxX

 

[chloe11]

megan - oh no low iron can be horrible!! i am on tablets too, they put me for precaution at 20 weeks! and even after a few weeks on them when i had my iron tested my levelks were ont he low side even though i was taking two tablets a day! luckly not had any tiredness as such etc but i know it can be sooo horrrible! at least they have spotted it!!

Elanesse - gosh what a dilema, could you ask if they would def be able to offer flexi time? or maybe tell them your concerns and see what they say? i mean i think 36k u should be ok with one baby? it depends on your lifestyle and your mortgage/rent is etc! i am not going back to work after the twins are born until they go to school! but i have always said thats what i would do as i have wanted to be with my children and we can luckly afford for me to not work.
have you looked at maybe cheaper nurseries? the ones i looked into (for twins to maybe go 2 half a days when they are older to interact with other kids) were tbh more expensive but i know that theres lots that are cheaper?

awwww rose - can she not see you at all before then? can u not say its an emergency?? at least they have given you stronger painkillers!!!!!

i am feeling tired today, no matter what time i go to sleep i am up at 7am! lol! ah well!

has anyone noticed that their weight goes up really fast now and again? i have put on 2 kilos in the last few weeks all of a sudden!!! im not bothered but i find it weird! i probs have been eating more sweet stuff.... uhm...! lol!

Chloe I'm with you in the tiredness!! I just feel exhausted by the afternoon! I haven't weighed myself for ages and don't plan to until maybe 37 weeks, I think I would get a fright if I stood on the scales just now!! I would rather live in blissful ignorance I am more interested in seeing what I am immediately before having baby and then after. I didn't last time and I wish I had known how much I had lost straight away and then in the first 6 weeks xxx

 

[dt1234565]

I haven't weighed myself for ages either.

Nursery fees, have you thought about a childminder, they are often much cheaper, a lady in our road is around £4 an hour.

I went back to work after I had Taya but couldn't afford it after Flynn (it was over £2000 per month for the two of them!) that's the trouble I think with getting Mums back to work it's child care costs.

I hope your GD results come back fine.

I usually have low iron in pregnancy so probably have it this time too, am having my bloods donE today.
