hi girls, well my day of nothing turned into a day of trailing around the town with a friend, we went and had lunch, i had jacket potato with cheese and beans YUM!!! then i went to try and find a maternity top that actually covers my tummy which didnt happen!!!
going to play bingo with my friend tonight so hopefully i will win and that will cheer me up.

Aidan's mummy glad your appointment went well

Angelmouse hope your appointment goes well and hope your pains have eased up a bit

Loook at you all getting worried at the thought of going overdue lol!! TBH at the moment i dont really mind, although it would really really like mini pp to be here just in time for christmas, i dont wanther to be in my belly on christmas day i want her out lol

 

[lollylou1]

thats the only reason i bothered about going overdue, i want her here in time for christmas, i hate not knowing whats happening and obviously with labour you never know when its going to happen but i cant plan christmas properly because we havent ot much family and i dont want to waste money buying nice things for christmas to not eat them even though i know with a newborn it will be stressful i want her first christmas to be special

Evening everyone.... Sorry for the essay!!!!!!!
Well just got back from my scan appointment! What a drama!!!
My scan was to check the position of my placenta again as it was still low 2 weeks ago. My appointment was at 3.00pm but i got there for about 2.45pm (i like to be early).
So scans were running 40 mins behind so i settled down in the waiting area. I haven't been to work all week because i haven't been feeling 'right'.
So after about 20mins i start feeling really unwell, i can feel myself sweating and i feel really flushed. My head felt like it was pulsating so much it was going to explode!!! The waiting was FULL of people and i started to panic.... what did i do i texted my DH to ask him what to do!!!!!! Why, i have no idea. He called me straight away and told me to go and tell someone... Just then i was called to go in, got into the scan room and the lady was asking me loads of questions but i just couldn't understand what she was saying.
She then started to moan about my bladder not being full enough!!!!!!!!!!! I got really stroppy and said that at 3.00pm (the time of my appointment) it was super full. How can they expect someone at 34 weeks to sit there with a full bladder for 40 + mins....
She sent me away to go drink more water and didn't seem to be bothered that i didn't feel well.
So i took a walk down to the assessment unit and found a nice midwife. By this time i was nearly in tears,
She put me onto a bed and asked what was wrong. I felt as if i was drunk and my words were all slurred, she took my BP which was high, (it has been getting higher each time i visit my MW). She really calmed me down and i started to feel somewhat better. My next MW appointment isn't untill tuesday so she asked me to come back to the hospital on saturday to be re-checked.
Then with a full bladder off i went back to be scanned......................
Some good news my placenta has moved!
I then felt really bad as i had told my DH not to worry about going with me as last time we went it wasn't very clear............
Boy it was different this time!
The sonographer asked me if i could see all the 'sparkles' around her head, this was her hair!!!!!!! Her face was soooooooo clear you could see her eyes moving around!!!!!! Seeing this just makes everything worthwhile!!!

Sorry for going on ladies but i feel so much better for getting it off my chest!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[nessajane]

malpal - yay you your placenta moving!!

sorry to hear you wernt feeling well i hope youre feling better now hun xx

 

[Pyrrhic]

malpal- how are you feeling now? I get dizziness with pins and needles and it feels like my heart is racing quite often. It was really scary at first. Had you had enough to eat and drink? hope you feel better now.

pp- yay for maternity leave! Now you can veg on BnB all day like the rest of us!

I'm finding it all very exciting that people's bumps are engaged now! It's not going to be long now ladies!

I meet my new MW on Monday so I'm very excited. Have lots of questions to ask about the local hospitals and things. I'm just glad to be getting things sorted now.

I've started planning Bump's Christening I figure I should at least book somewhere if I want to have it in March as the area is very busy for weddings at weekends.

OH and I have *still* not agreed on a colour for the nursery. We can't decide between two shades and we've now painted 12 samples on the wall. It looks like a friggin kaleidescope in there

 

[Angelmouse]

Aw Malpal hope you're feeling better now. I hate it when waiting rooms get all stuffy. Glad your placenta has moved up now too.

Poor cranky Tyff. Hope your leggies feel better soon.

Congratulations PP on finally making it to Mat leave Hope you thought of something yummy for Carl to eat.

So my appt went as normal. There was a trainee in today and she was quite sweet. Took her a while to find Bubbles heartbeat but she did eventually, and palpate? Jeez I thought she was push him out the other side. Bloods were quite easy today for a change and my BP is steady as ever. The best news is that there was NAD in my weewee. No Glucose. Means I'm clear of GD. WOOOT!!! Still have to monitor but...Bubble is head down and measuring a teeny bit large for dates but I think that will level out overall. So I'm happy with his progress, just so long as he stays put until 23rdDec!

 

[Poloma]

Yay for MalPal!!!!! So glad the placenta has moved for you I know how worrying that wait can be xXx Hope you are feeling better now.

Had a pretty good day today! Took the kids to the park for an hour this morning thn had a mooch around town, didnt actually buy anything either! lol

Noah is at nursery tomorrow morning so might have a bit of retail therapy with Abbi, got to get my Raspberry Leaf Tablets and a few more bits for my hospital bag
Nothing too exciting really!

And I'm back home sick again.
Okay, I think I'm getting all conspiracy theory paranoid about that flu shot I had on Monday.
I keep getting these weird fever flashes. My face gets all flushed and I feel really dizzy and horrible.
I had to come home halfway through the day.
Is this just me dealing with a sinus infection while pregnant and immuno-compromised or did that stupid flu shot make me way sicker?
I guess I'll just go drink another 300 gallons of hot water and lemon and lie on the couch.
Blergh.

 

[Pyrrhic]

Hope you feel better soon sarahkka

I've just taken a funny turn. Tummy cramps, pains in my legs and dizziness. Not feeling very well atm, but hopefully it will pass soon.

 

[nessajane]

hope you feel better soon sarahkka!! have a rest and relax xx

 

[Angelmouse]

OH NO! Poor girl.

Have you tried warm Lemonade? It sounds weird but really helps buck you up.

Hope you feel better soon.

 

[Aidan's Mummy]

Heya bambikate :wave:
xx

 

[Pyrrhic]

Feeling shit

Bad period like cramps and back pain. My bump is really tight too. Have tried paracetamol, a warm bath, bouncing on my my ball and nothing is helping. Have been feeling this way since 7ish. Doesn't feel like contractions (pain is constant, not coming and going) but I can't sleep and feel rubbish.

 

[Sophie1205]

Rafwife, have you phoned your hospital to see what they say?
I know how you feel though, Im the same with all these pains.
Hope you feel better xxx

 

[Pyrrhic]

No, not yet. I've moved so my registering appointment with my MW isn't until Monday and I don't really want to go to an unfamiliar hospital at this time of night. I'll just see how it goes for now, and if it gets much worse then I may ring.

How are you feeling now hun?
