**~February Lovebugs -The Last Tri~** 37 Blue,41 Pink,26 Yellows

I had to pee in the pot once whilst I was there and totally pee'd all over the label and handed her a slightly damp torn label - I felt sooo minging that I couldn't pee into the pot correctly. Its like being crap at school lol

Oh I'm glad someone else has gained that much weight. I was afraid I had gained more than the usual. The midwife said it was fine and didn't comment about how much and I didn't look what she wrote until I got home so didn't ask her if it was okay.
 
I'm sure it's fine gill- try not to worry, most of it is baby and fluid and placenta and boobies anyway :)

Teal- I'm the same, I always dry the label.

I think I might have to invest in a pee jug. I had a moment of hilarity in the the hospital the other week because they wanted a sample from me but I was still stuck on the drip and it didn't have wheels so my mum had to come with me to hold the drip bag while I did a sample. I did it and put it on the floor and was getting some loo roll to dry it when my mum managed to kick it over :dohh: So then I had to dry all the floor whilst holding in the rest of my pee and then do another sample. At the time it was so funny me and my mum were in hysterics :rofl: think the midwife wondered where we'd got to xx
 
Hi All - just been having a catch up with everyones posts on here - lots to read!

The wee thing - I always get a sample pot with a lid on from reception before my appointment's due (I send DH in to get me one as he works close to the med centre!) then I do it at home before I go and see the midwife cos I am totally unable to get it in the pot 'on demand' LOL

Re; birth plans - I have roughly put one together especially as we are having a home birth. Im fairly open minded and realsitic that things can change so its not in too much detail.

I see the midwife tomorrow for my 34wk appointment - I am hoping that she finally has my blood results from my tests 2 weeks ago re; obstetric choleastis as 'no one' has got back to me about them and ive left messages for the GP and the midwife.... baby is moving lots every day so not worried about him at this stage. If theyve sent my results to the wrong RAF base 'again' I'm going to unleash the hormones!!!

Gills I'm not that far behind you, I've gained about 40 pounds, give or take...it's making me freak out but everybody (midwife, GP and Endocrinologist) are telling me it's totally normal, especially as I was slightly underweight to begin with. I totally feel your pain though, if I think about it too much it makes me FREAK OUT...lol :dohh:

Yep, I want a 9 lb. baby and a 20 lb. placenta (figure they're squishy so easier to deliver lol).
 
I havent been anywhere near a set of scales since my booking appointmen and dont intend to unless I'm forced! Im blissfully unaware right now!

I'm never sure about the pee pot etiquitte, I find the whole thing quite disgusting, so I always wipe it and wrap tissue round it to give to her as Im not sure what your 'meant' to do. I always forget to do it before I go so I end up doing it there so unless I carry my pee jug round with me its not really an option!
 
I love this discussion about pee :rofl:

Claire- I know what you mean though, it's hard to know what to do with it, I dry it and wrap loo roll around it if I've had to do one there and then :lol: xx
 
Only a bunch of preggers women can get away with such indepth dicussion on how we pee into a 2cm diameter pot. lol

I only got weighed as it was that time at the midwife. I've been staying away from the scales the whole pregnancy. Kinda wish i'd seen it going on slowly now though! doh!
 
:dohh: Glad im not the only special case then - i pee all over my hand too - i did think about having a jug but I couldnt bring myself to having a designated jug in the bathroom strictly for me to catch my pee......... urine on the hand, much better lol :haha:

Back from mw - everything fine. Apparently I have only gained 5lbs - I was like - dont think so and she said - yes, 2.5kilo difference from booking in. :happydance:

So that was cool - but I have gained 13lb since the last time i weighed myself before getting preg so must have gained half a stone while ttc. so i've not been reading my weight properly, not complaining though cos they said i should weigh less than my booking weight after the birth :happydance:

sorry - im going to stop talking about it now - but in my defence I do weigh 14stone 11. :blush:

baby still head down but not engaged now - little numpty !

Also saw the student mw who was there a couple of weeks ago and she asked if she could use me as a case study and would she mind if hospital call her to assist my delivery when i go into labour. Agreed to it as she is really lovely and has made a good impression on me and has a really nice manner and had a joke about so think she'll be nice in the delivery suite - providing she's able to be there obviously.

So everything else normal anyway. My spd has come on with a vengence tonight though and im really in pain - so not entirely happy!!
 
Loving the pee pot chat :rofl: When I was asked last time my M/W gave me a cardboard bowl type thing to pee in instead, she smiled at me and said there you go love, that'll be a bit easier. Bless her. I was well relieved, how hard is it to get the little bottle under you when you have a huge frigging belly :) I did however pour it into the bottle to take into the room with me, couldnt bring myself to carry the bowl full of pee with me :rofl:
 
I've had to pee into one of the big cardboard bowls aswell. I didn't want to walk out carrying it so I just left it in the toilet for her to go and get :rofl:
 
When i got admitted for the drip every time I went I had to wee in a jug and then ring the buzzer thing to tell them I'd been so they could test it. I hated it! xx
 
Katy - I hated having to wheel the stand the fluid bag was attached to into the toilet with me!

I didn't think to have someone with me to hold the bag! xx

I had to wheel it once I got moved to the ward. Had to pee with door open too as me and it wouldn't both fit in :lol: xx
 
When I was on a drip I had to do the same thing, but I wasn't that pregnant at the time so it wasn't so bad! Last time I was in the labour ward I carried my cardboard out and the midwife looked horrified think I got that ettiquette wrong! Haha.
Ooh when is vickys induction? Thurs isn't it?
