Hope everyone is okay!

hello ladies hope you all survived the heat!! i've had my flu jab and now am full of cold, and to top it all i am an emotional wreck, my parents have finalised their move, and flights are booked for monday morning.... the dates been pushed back 4 times now, but this time they've got visa's cleared and a plane ticket..... gonna miss them not being around the corner

 

[lynnikins]

MM, It gets easier being away from your parents with time.

I agree. When i first moved away it was hard for the first 6 months but ive got so used to it its not as hard now. I still miss them but like they said i have my own life

Must be harder tho when ur family move abroad

i'm so incredibly excited for them, this is a once in a million lifetimes opertunity, we always knew england was only a 3-4 yr stop, that much was made clear before contracts were signed, i just hadn't banked on meeting someone and falling head over heels in love (fairytales don't happen to people like me)

but now its so real, bags are pack, flights booked, contract signed for a new house, i've got Dylan, he's under my name now at the vets!

i know its my hormones playing up, i cannot wait till they go, and am greatful my mum will not be overly involved in the early stages of peppers life, she smacks first ask questions later, shouts, and domineers, kids are terrified of her! i'm glad i can bring pepper up the way i want to without her constant narking, CIO never done you any harm, a good slap never hurt anyone, let them sleep in their own room from the first night......

Hey all! Glad to see everyone made it through the UK heat wave. I think we're about done with our own summer heat here in Texas.

We had another ultrasound to measure growth yesterday. DH and I got to watch as Baby snuggled in, hiccuped, waved hands in front of his/her face, and sucked on his/her toes. Baby is looking good and measuring a few days ahead at a little over 3 lbs.

The doctor mentioned that I had too much amniotic fluid floating around and even though I passed my GD test, he suggested that I try to cut back on sugar and up protein intake.

lovely scan pics hun

 

[tannembaum]

Grr!!
Got a phone call last night at 6:30pm from my dr as he was concerned that my wbc is raised (AGAIN!) he asked if id been ill at all, which I haven't, so now I need ANOTHER blood test to see if its still raised!
So annoying, cant wait till December! My body just hates being pregnant!

Got to walk to the mw later to get my bp done again.

I've had another letter through for another growth scan in November! I feel like they're not telling me something?! I have a growth scan booked for Thursday, why should I need another a month later? Especially since I haven't even had the first one done yet!

Tbh I am shitting myself about this growth scan, I feel like I'm being kept in The dark and that There is something wrong with my baby.

And stupid me stumbled across a termination for medical reasons forum last night which ment I spent The night crying!! Why do I for it to myself!


Anyway, sorry I only seem to come on here to rant.
hope everyone is doing well

They do my growth scans every 4w as they're more accurate that way. Maybe just that? Bloody stupid st michaels. I always have high wbc and they can't find out why. No idea what it means but they've not worried about it. Hope yours is nothing. And stay away from the scary forums!

Hi Tannembaum

As I am diabetic I have growth scans every 4 weeks as of last week - they were all booked in advance and I think that's the norm once they decide you should have them so I wouldn't read too much into that. They get good comparisons that way...
I also have high wbc - this was picked up at my pre-natal clinic 18 months or so ago and I have been seeing a haematologist every few months. They have now thankfully rulled out the nasties and just want to keep a check on me - they don't seem overly concerned so I 'm not either - it's annoying though as I think there is a reason WHY something is abnormal but they said some people are just high and that's normal for them. Anyway, trying to re-assure you but waffling as usual. Hope all's ok!

 

[missmayhem]

what gets me is my growth scan was perfect, same as all my other scans, yet i'm booked in for ANOTHER ONE

now we know were the NHS budget goes

 

[Mrs B mum2b]

well it's good that it was perfect - mine was too I but was told that the next 8 weeks is when the problems could start so need to keep a check, hence 2 more booked in.
I personally would much rather Beanie be monitored once I am deemed "high risk".
Is there a health reason you are having scans?

recurrant early MC
i have a mild (very very mild) form of spina bifida, then again so does a large percentage of the UK only they don't know about it as they never fell off a horse and needed x-ray'd most people who have it never even know
high BMI

 

[Mrs B mum2b]

I didn't know that re Spina Bifida - interesting!
I think it's good that you are both being monitored -then they can catch anything early. It's a pain but for the best - in my opinion anyway!
Hope they continue to be clear

stay away from the scary forums!

+1 on that!

I got this growth scan because I have a SUA (single umbilical artery) which can cause growth problems. This ultrasound told us that the SUA doesn't seem to be an issue because baby is ahead and big, but the high levels of amniotic fluid sent me back to Dr Google to read about more scary complications. I almost wish I hadn't had the scan! I have our regular appt with my OBGYN on wednesday and will be sure to bring it up.

I'm sure all our babies will come out fine...and more worries will soon take the place of the current ones. *sigh*

 

[cranberry987]

the amount of crap they throw at us when pregnant, honesty half of the stuff is so unnecessary but not like the money theyd save would be put into anything useful, it would just be pissed down the drain on other stupid more expensive tests so may as well have em.

 

[lynnikins]

hey girls im back after a LONG weekend 6 hours driving up to Scarborough on friday then back yesterday my head is still sore from the 30 min long tantrum EJ had when we left caus he was overtired and had refused to eat anything

my mum told me i have a mild form of spina bifida but iv never heard anything from the docs or asked about it or had any problems. can it be a problem when pregnant? see my specialist on the 19th should i mention this?
my mum said ill just be hunched back when im elderly :/

 

[lynnikins]

missmayhem i think personally its better to have 2 growth scans so they can take a measurement of the rate of growth rather than just one measurment which could be wayyyyy off then at least if they have 2 then they can see how much baby is growing each week
