Hmm. You've got me thinking about the wedding we're going to when baby will be 3 months old. I'm hoping to be breast-feeding and hadn't given an 'appropriate' outfit a thought. Ah well - ages to go yet... (famous last words!)
I'm feeling a bit cross! I had a blood test a week ago to check my thyroid levels. I have an underactive thyroid and my meds were adjusted accordingly as soon as I registered the pregnancy. My consultant wanted me to have checks every 6-8 weeks and through my own stupidity it's been closer to 10 weeks. Any way, I phoned for the results today - as instructed - only to be told by the receptionist that it's 'borderline low'. So I asked whether that's low for 'regular' parameters or for pregnancy parameters, and of course she didn't know (the consultant said the figures are slightly different for during pregnancy). I asked that the doctor call me and I was told the duty doctor would call by 6.30, and yet so far I've heard nothing. Plus the fact that I think if it's anything other than ok, they ought to contact the patient as soon as the results are in any way! Now I'm worried that the meds haven't been right for ages and it could've adversely affected the baby.
on the phone now...
