It was pretty pointless me seeing her really, All she had to say was that I am higher risk for GD because of my pcos (which I already knew) And that I had to have a glucose intolerance test done at 28 weeks which again I already knew. Then she looked at my notes and the scan and said all was fine and she shouldn't need to see me again x
Consultants are a waste of time!! We saw one today about my scoliosis and if we'd had to have a c-section. He told us he couldn't say until 36weeks. Why we had to go all the way in now I don't know.
I guess that's how they justify their large salaries.
Also pissed off dh when he told me I had "plenty of fat reserves to see me through" and I should make sure im not eating unnecessarily!! Cheeky bugger I only weigh 4lbs more than before I was pg!!
What a shame you have to wait for that
That's very cheeky Zfbaby! I'm seeing the consultant for previous pre eclampsia so I'm quite glad to see her, but I'll be seeing her on a more regular basis.
It is just a place to write down yours thoughts and stuff. I started using this site when pregnant with DS and never had one then but someone convinced me to start a journal this time.
Sorry you had a bad day Zfbaby. They do not like to do unnecessary c-sections in the UK so for some conditions they wait and see if it is needed neared the time.
Yay that is great! My son likes to feel the kicks but has only managed to about twice because everytime I get a big kick you can feel on the outside he tries but the baby is no longer kicking. I can not wait for him to be able to see feet and elbows sticking out though, it will blow his mind.
Awww Char that's so cute. Now you can start shopping
21 weeks today and a big fat banana hahahaha. This is the last time the fruit changes every week as from next week we'll stay the same fruit for a few weeks:
21 Weeks - Banana
22-24 Weeks - Papaya
25-28 Weeks - Eggplant
29-32 Weeks - Pumpkin Squash
33-36 Weeks - Honeydew melon
>=37 Weeks - Watermelon
That is sweet charbaby. Do you have clothes saved from last time or do you have more buying to do?
I am getting excited and nervous about my scan tomorrow. I want to ask my consultant about if we can negotiate a little less monitoring in labour if I was to go into labour naturally before 41 weeks and stay 'low risk' (I am high-risk so I mean that the same issues don't come up again when I say 'low risk'). I know what happens if things go wrong again and about most of the restrictions but I can not get straight answers about if I have any options at all providing they don't happen again.
Thanks babyface, it is my very first yes . I don't want a c-section and have said so the whole time (unless lo was in danger of course) so I'm hoping things continue ok. And I'm used to ppl making rude comments but dh hasn't really been there when it's happened before so he was very angry.
I have gotten so used to people telling me how big my bump is, how i must be due sooner than i think or that it has to be twins that if a stranger asks when I'm due I tell them march. It saves us all the hassle.
Yeah, I saw this one as well and according to that I was a banana last week and a pomegranate this week?

Oh no I didn't know that, thought it changed every week!

My baby weighed just under 400gs yesterday my o/h said he makes loaves of bread double the weight of her lol x
