February 2013 Love Bugs

^ I thought that but this is my 3rd and I just phoned she defo confirmed bloods at 25 xx

I just checked my notes and for this NHS trust for second pregnancies the schedule is 28 weeks for bloods, 34, 36, 38, 41 weeks :shrug:

My MW is pretty nice, she said if I felt I wanted to schedule an appointment between 16 - 28 just to call and that would be fine.

It is a bit scary, I could develop out of control diabetes between 16 - 28 weeks and cause all sort of issues, luckily I am monitoring my own sugars though!
 
Oh maybe mine just booked me in at 25 then because I had called, I know I need the anti-d soon too, think thats at 28 weeks so would rather see her at 25weeks and make our plans as I have my swab at 28weeks to test for gbs and to determine my water birth or not x
 
That might be why, my blood group is O+ and my husband is O+ though so (unless I had is off with the milkman :winkwink:) there should be any antibodies floating about :haha:
 
Hi ladies,

Had a random 23 week appointment with the hospital midwife today - apparently the receptionist who books the appointments made a mistake, but I got to see little one for a quick scan and all is great. It was lying in a really funny position thought with its back tucked right up against mine.

Next appointment at the hospital is 29 weeks then 35 and then 40 weeks. I have the community midwife in between so lots of appointments still to go.

When is classed as V day? Is it 24 or 25 weeks?
 
No Amelie I'm 28 weeks too and I'm neg blood group. My notes also say 28 wk bloods.

My mw did say that I can have an appt at any time if I want one. She's referred me for an urgent consultant referal for my sore back and hips. Hopin it comes through soon.

Baby has started really movin lots now - ESP on my bladder!

So remembering things from first pregnancy I'm hoping I don't get.....

Heartburn
Carpel tunnel syndrome
Leg cramps
Excessive swelling
Too fat!

I'm not going to moan tho, although it can be uncomfortable I'm so grateful to have experienced pregnancy.... Twice now. And as its prob my last I'm going to try and savour it. Even if I go 2 weeks late.... Might as well enjoy every last moment! Someone remind me of that when I am 2 weeks late haha!
 
As I have the main thing I didn't want to get worse this pregnancy the main thing I am hoping I don't have to have is iron tabs even though I am pretty sure I will be on them soon, urgh the side affects are awful :(

Just took the travel cot apart to be washed and put away ready for baby :cloud9: I'm hoping I don't have to use it too much, but the kids are going through a "I like to play rough" phase so baby needs somewhere safe to play :D x x x
 
I have appointments every 4 weeks with my midwife upto 32 weeks te either fortnightly or weekly till bday. She said if I need extra visits she will come out though. I have only has my BP checked and 8 weeks, then bloods at 12 weeks. Not had urine check. Seeing me next week so will see what happens then :)
 
Let's see...I have an appointment every 4 weeks up until 32 weeks, then it's every 2 weeks. Then starting at 36 weeks it's every week. I have glucose testing between 24 and 28 weeks (which will fall at 27 weeks for me I think), and my paper says more blood tests at 28 weeks (I wonder if they will just do it all at my 27 week appt). My paper also says they will discuss inductions at 41 weeks, so hopefully I will not have to go too far over my due date. Of course if he's a bigger boy as they are currently thinking they may end up inducing me early (I hope so lol).
 
I didnt have the anti D with my son but had it with DD and this time :)

Just been to get some more leggings (live in them now) and some chips for lunch lol x
 
I have appointments just like babydreams85, every 4, then 2, then 1. This 24 week one is really just a meet and greet. Just a quick check in that everything is still fine. The 28 week one is the 2 hour GTT. No talk of induction probably because my son came early and we assume this one will too, but I'll refuse induction anyway unless they can prove my baby is in current danger.
