So I have had a headache for a week now. Going to massage place tomorrow because my neck and shoulders hurt so bad. My left eye keeps fluttering too and I think it is from a nerve getting pressured. Can't wait to hopefully get some relief!!!
Yay for baby moving!! That is exciting! Sometimes I think I feel him/her particularly on the left when lying in the bath. Feel little moves and pressure. Fun to visualize baby in there moving around.
Aww I had a headache for about a week last week - it is horrible, especially with trying not to take painkillers =/
I'm sure your massage will help! Enjoy!
Hayley that sounds like a good plan to move north for the birth, especially since you feel your care hasn't been great. Sorry to hear that, because you rely on your health care provider so much to keep you right when it's your first (or so I'm finding) and especially if you are high risk.
Yeah, it is quite worrying :/ Its just things like my midwife seems to ALWAYS be on holiday, and is never available for appointments. And when I do see her, its very apparent that she doesn't have a clue what my condition even is!
Plus I've had several messed up appointments with my specialist where they either don't notify me of the appointment, or I arrive and it turns out that they made a mistake on the letter and the appointment is the following week etc...
And I've had this mystery rash for about 8 weeks, NOBODY seems to know or care what it is :/ Its all too worrying and stressful.
You have a busy few months then! If you are high risk though you want the best care possible so I guess your doing the right thing by moving
It's hard to explain what I felt, it happened twice. The first time I thought it was my belly as its been making all sorts of noises and movement haha but it definitely grabbed my attention. The second happened while I was in the bath, it was that same feeling and again caught my attention so feeling it the second time made me think it was baby
It was similar to a tummy spasm but lighter...
With the showers I wouldn't expect things from people. Obviously they are going to buy me some things but I certainly won't be asking for specific items!! I want balloons, cake and baby related things
I will know what I'm having by the time I have one so I can have a colour scheme! It's quite exciting :O)
What is Graves disease if you dont mind me asking? I haven't heard of it before. X
Aww it definitely sounds like baby moving
No I don't mind - Graves Disease is an autoimmune disease. It affects pretty much everything and the symptoms are as long as my arm, but the main thing is that it effects the thyroid gland.
It makes it so that my thyroid fluctuates between producing too much thyroxine and not enough - so I have to have blood tests every month, and my medication has to be changed often to keep the balance of hormones right.
I WAS due to have an operation to remove my thyroid gland completely, but I fell pregnant - so I'll have to wait now until after baby is born.
They don't like Graves patients to get pregnant (And its VERY hard to actually get pregnant and stay pregnant with the illness, it comes with an increased risk of miscarriage and stillbirth
) as the baby relies on the mother for the production of thyroxine until their own thyroid gland is formed.
But they've changed my meds to a kind that doesn't cross the placenta, and so...hopefully it will be ok. *fingers crossed*
My main concern right now is that I read that Graves patients are at risk of suffering a thyroid storm during labour - which is usually fatal for the mother.
So I'm wondering why nobody has bothered to discuss this with me, as with this in mind - I'd quite like to discuss the option of a c-section if it means I'm less likely to die!
I'm sure it will be you soon! Its almost easy to miss though! It was subtle - I think if I hadn't been laying down in bed I wouldn't have noticed it! 
it must be a constant worry!! I'm not surprised you want to move for better care, I would do exactly the same. All you can do is keep your chin up and tell yourself you will get through it with no problems and both you and baby will come out perfectly healthy at the end - positive thinking gets people through anything 
So i'll just go through what I can...
I've had one for the last 2 days now. I even left work early yesterday because of it. Woke up this morning and it's still here! I don't get it
