End of May 2013 babies CONTINUED..

That is good. It can be so reassuring to be able to do it whenever you want.

My MW and GP did say I would be checked ever two weeks by 20-25 weeks but since the consultant wasn't bothered about it that hasn't happened. My MW so far has seen me in every 4 weeks. It is not so bad since I know what to look out for (spotted it myself last time) and I have the BP monitor and dip sticks but it is worrying that someone who really does need the checks might be getting ignored too. The really odd part is my experience with DS1 was that my hospital will constantly be overly cautious and yet this time they are not at all.
 
char beautiful bump and hood luck at your appt, let us know how it goes!

pebbie I'm sorry about this all then, it's good you have that monitor though, hope out doesn't get bad xxx

omni that's not good you aren't getting more checks, I would not be happy about that!
are you having any luck on the house hunt?
 
We are getting no where with the house hunt. So little comes up that is big enough and nice inside and when it does they never allow pets. We can manage here for a bit longer but I really just want an adult living room and a separate play room now. It is so frustrating.
 
Appointment went well, baby measuring 29cm so one week ahead hope this settles down by my next appointment at 31 weeks. Urine was clear and blood pressure fine didn't have to have blood tests because they said they will do them at the hospital tomorrow when I have glucose test done :D
 
Love your bump Char! Ill get a pic of my bump up soon too :)
Glad all was well with your check up as well. Good luck with your glucose test tomorrow.

Omi, it is worrying they're not that "caring" about it. And like you said, some women might just brush it off as a normal headache or pregnancy swelling when they really have pe. Not good at all.
 
Sorry to hear your news Pebbie :(

Char your bump is lush! I will attach one, but I'm quite a fatty, so its not as obvious as yours lol.

I've got my anit D jab next week, I've already had one and it hurt like a b*tch! I had a bruise on my leg for days after!
 
Look forward to seeing your bump pics ladies :D
I have no idea about PE but hope it sorts itself out for you's who are worried about it. x
 
oh that's too bad omni hope you find something soon!

char my baby has been measuring about one week ahead all along too!

you girls get lots of jabs lol!
should I be getting any of these? no one had mentioned anything to me other than the flu shot
 
Babyface the whooping cough jab is quite new here as there was a bad whooping cough epidemic with young babies so now all the pregnant women are getting a jab for it. So we get that one and the flu jab and that's it :)

Get it in the arm ... I always do, you usually got to ask tho as they always go to put it in your leg, thigh
 
Hi everyone.

Gorgeous bump char. I always say I will put one on but this time I will!

Baby - your scan really makes me want to have a 4d scan!

So lovely they offered a second scan CLH.

Sorry about the protein pebbie. Does it necessarily mean a bad thing? Could it o away?

Hey sparkle. I will do a birth plan, at least I could have an idea of what might happen.

I have heard the wc vaccine is a bit rough on the arm afterwards. I have my midwife appointment next week. Looking forward to a check up. Baby is seriously active in the evenings. Chocolate drives bubs mental!
 
Passion, protein in the urine is not a good sign and it looks like the start of pre eclampsia again. But It can take weeks for my bloods pressure to go up so fingers crossed that's the way it'll go. At least they're keeping a close eye on me :)

My baby is so active too! The consultant wrote in my notes: very active baby.
It kept kicking the Doppler and was moving away from it so it took her nearly 5 minutes to find the heartbeat. Cheeky little monkey hahahaha
 
Anyone starting to feel more fuller ? When eating ... Iv had my tea (chicken and salad) and I'm stuffed!
Can't even eat my jelly and grapes in the fridge!
 
I do, and I'm peeing loads more during the night and am so tired lol.

Not long until the nr's of how many days left and the percentage completed cross in my signature!!
 
Getting ready to leave for the hospital for my glucose test absolutely starving and dying for a cup of tea but not allowed nothing but water :(
 
Oh I'd be so bad at doing that! How long do you have to wait before you can eat?
Hope all goes well though x
 
very active baby here too! I can watch my belly move around now which us fun
yup ive noticed I cant pack away as much as before, I've been getting a touch of heartburn too but nothing serious yet!

oh poor you char you must be starving! I didn't have to fast for mine thankfully. let us know how it goes xx
 
Oh I'd be so bad at doing that! How long do you have to wait before you can eat?
Hope all goes well though x

I had to go from 10pm last night until I got back today at 11.30 I was so hungry when I got in. Have to wait till 3.30-4.30 for the results hope I passed it x
