Its June!!!!! 20 week scan next month!!! Whos with me?

[Scally]

Forgot to say happy 36 weeks Time! x

 

[Inoue]

Thanks Scally/Time . I hope we get some info on it, didnt even think about diabeties, glad your OH got sorted, im not sure whether to let him keep fitting or shout and hit him till he comes out of it? . Seems harsh me kicking him but its the only thing that stops him although he doesnt wake up. I just know Marc wont discuss anything with the GP (typical man who thinks he's fit as a flee) so im going to look like the overbearing wife laying it out to the doc

Ill try the stair thing Time, anythings worth a go i think at this point x


Edit: Time, how do they test for Diabeties and Epilepsy? xx

 

[time]

No idea.. I presume its bloodwork but never asked! Could it be night terrors if it's only ever whilst he's asleep?! And then going straight back to sleep, as he obviously will have a lot on his mind at the mo so could just be that!

 

[time]

Thanks ally!! Only 1 more week until term wooo

 

[Inoue]

Ill be drawing blood from him if i keep getting woken up inbetween my pee visits x

 

[pops23]

Hi ladies, hectic today but just popping by to say hey and hope everyone is ok! will check in properly tomorrow xxx

 

[Sarahcake]

Hey guys, same as Pops really! Just got home and am on the mobile so reading through 4 pages of posts is gonna take forever haha!

Hope all of you are good?

Ally, did you manage to get your blood pressure checked? If so, was it all ok?

Kellie, Hope your meal goes well tonight and that you arnt in lots of discomfort there

Time, Happy 36 weeks hun! I would have thought it would be baby is right down low causing the pain for you, give your midwife a shout though if it gets too bad

Inoue, Hope the doctors goes well for you and your OH, hopefully they can shed some light into what is going on. Must be really scary for the both of you

As for me, been out with a friend today who came up to see me from Plymouth! Not seen her for 2 years and we had a really lovely day! Shes 12 weeks pregnant so a lot of it was spent talking babies and things but it was so nice to see her.

My cousin is still beating herself up pretty cronically bless her, whats done is done as far as im concearned. Yeah it sucks that dad knows now, but hes so happy at the fact theres a little grandson incoming that I think its kinda overshadowed the disapointment of knowing. He doesnt know Logans name so he wants that kept secret at least. But alls well that ends well really.

Sorry if ive missed any massive posts, difficult to catch up when your on your mobile lol

 

[Inoue]

Doctors didnt go too well. Explained the two fits he's had and told him about the time I found him unconscious at home when I came in from work a couple of years ago, doctor thinks there may be a link. He needs to go off to bigger hospital for neurological testing and EEG. Doctor suspects nocturnal epilepsy but if thats proven then were up shit street as his driving licence will be taken off him for a year, with his job being a forklift driver he would be taken off work, it could come down to me to get back into work full time immediately after birth and he be a stay at home dad till 2014. Bit of a worry really x

 

[Sarahcake]

Eeek, sorry to hear that it didnt go great Try not to panic right now, its all 'ifs' and 'buts' at the moment. Work on getting a diagnosis and then see what options are available to you. You may find there is help around as you partner cant work and you have a baby to look after. Fingers crossed its not something that ends up with him loosing his job though. Big hug hun x

 

[Inoue]

. Yeh, im trying to take a step back as it could just be 'one of them things'. Annoying thing is that his appt will be in 4 odd weeks time, just around my due date x

 

[Scally]

Sorry to hear it didnt go too well Inoue- Hopefully it'll all be ok and be one of those things. Typical timing with appointments!

I did go to the MW, bp back down which is good, she wants me to go to my local docs about the numbness etc (they just keep trying to pass the buck) and as for the bleeding- she told me off for not telling them about the bit i had last week- i did! I rung them and they said to ring if it happens again! She said if i have anymore, or bright red and more in volume i have to go to Colchester and not them as i am high risk. I have been shunted from pillar to post!
I have had some spotting since, its more brown though so i take it thats not too much to worry about, it did make me laugh i said to her i hadnt had anymore then went to the loo after the appointment and wiped and there was more!

Sarah- sounds like you had a lovely day, I do like lots of baby talk!

Hey ladies haven't read the last few pages as running low on phone battery. Just wanted to let you all know that I've been admitted in to hospital woke up this morning not feeling right - massive headache, blurred vision, just feeling off in general really, phoned the MW who told me to go in to DAU to be checked over, more so because I'm high risk and previous gestational hypertension. Came in at 12.30 and first BP reading was 130/95 so they hooked me up to the CTG and BP machine and I was monitored. BP just gradually got higher and higher, latest reading was 141/104 so I'm in overnight for more monitoring. Thankfully my pee & bloods are clear, so it's just the BP. Still not great though really miss Amber xx

 

[kellie_w]

Ekk, so much, bad news since I was last on

Lauryn, oh my god, your bp is insane. Is there any suggestion as to what is causing it? As your urine is clear have they ruled out pre e? Really hope you get sorted soon, so you can get back to amber. Thoughts are with you and sending you a huge hug. let us know how you get on

Inoue, really sorry to her about your oh, it really sucks that its happening now so late into your pregnancy. I hope it's not what they are suspecting and that he won't lose his license. Must be such a worry for you now and very scary to see him going through those fits. Hugs to you too

Ally, glad your bp is down, but how rubbish that you keep getting sent from one place to another. Why can't anyone take responsibility and help you!? Not good to hear you are bleeding again, make sure if it does get worse you get to hospital and make sure they find out once and for all why its happening

Sarah, glad you had a good day! It's good you can see the positive in that at least your dad don't know Logan's name. You will have to get a picture of when they first meet, I would love to see how proud he will be!

Happy 36 weeks time! 1 more week until term!

Hi pops! Hope you are well!

 

[ttc_lolly]

Caught up! Happy 36w time

Inoue, so sorry about your OH that sounds so scary. I hope he's ok, and you too

Kellie - I'm at risk of gestational hypertension again as I got it with Amber too it didn't develop until I was 37w with her though, then they induced me @ 38w when the medication was doing nothing to help. Hopefully it works better this time, or my BP just goes down naturally because I really don't want baby out this early x

 

[Sarahcake]

Oh no lauryn! I really hope it's not hypertension again and just a couple of bp spikes. Your in the best place though, although you may not think it right now but they can monitor you both properly there. Really hope you are alright, big hugs to you hun xxx

Ally, they really don't seem to know who you should report to at all do they! Not good at all glad your bp has dropped since the other day, hopefully the dr will be able to make sense of things for you

Kellie, I will defo post a pic up of dad meeting him for the first time. He's really shocked me throughout my pregnancy, I never expected him to be happy about it, there's a big history of ill feeling behind dad and me but he's been good as gold and so so proud too. Shows everyone the scan pictures I send down to him etc hopefully we can get down there soonish after Logan's arrival, I can't wait to introduce them!

 

[ttc_lolly]

Thanks ladies yep, I'm definitely in the best place and glad I got checked out DVD didn't just brush it off. So lonely here though, just glad I have my phone & kindle with me! Oh and my patient line tv was preloaded with money, must have been the last resident of the bed, so free tv, radio and phone. Every cloud and all that x

 

[Sarahcake]

Ooo nice job on the preloaded patient line! Tht thing is a fricking rip off. They don't refund the money that you don't use on there, they just absorb it when you notify them that your leaving. Nice of the previous person to keep it on there.

Have they started you on anything to try and get that bp down? Any IV fluids or anything? I hope you manage to get some rest tonight, I really feel for you can't be easy being away from amber and your oh. X

 

[ttc_lolly]

Nope, I was supposed to be started on the tablets to lower my BP but the midwives who have taken over for the night shift haven't said or given me anything I suppose I'll just wait now to see the doctor in the morning when he does his rounds. The bed here is comfy at least, just a shame I've got someone talking loudly on her phone on the bed opposite and another lady in early labour in the bed next to me! Really should have packed earplugs!

 

[Sarahcake]

Hope they have shut up for a bit and you've been able to get some sleep

 

[kellie_w]

Morning ladies!

Lauryn, any news? I have been checking for updates a few times through the night, how are things? X
