lolly - i do. i failed my gtt around 2 weeks ago.. was at the clinic on tuesday and officially diagnosed due to my numbers so started on metformin. Shes a little worried though because one of the side effects is diarrhoea and i already have toilet issues. It kicked in last night but thankfully just one episode. If i doesnt calm down ill be switched to insulin next week.

Hi. Hope everyone is ok. Still stressed trying to sort this stupid mortgage out! The solicitors have started the searches and one has come back already. They are waiting on one part of the contract from the sellers solicitors. So things are going ok on that part. The bank however, have lost our mortgage application, our financial advisor isn't helping much as he rarely calls us back so we don't know what is happening. Apparently as its the banks fault, they have said if the interest rate is lower than what we were put on, then they will put us on the lower rate, but if it's higher, they will honour the rate we were given. Just want it sorted now.

Had my growth scan on Monday, baby girl is growing fine, no concerns about her head measurements now. I had the consultant appointment on Tuesday, bit pointless really i was literally only in there for a minute. Said everything is fine, something was showing up in my urine which they are sending off, mw sent it off 2 weeks ago too though i never heard back. I go back to see the consultant in 6 weeks.
I have my whooping cough jab tonight, anyone else had theirs? How were you after it?

 

[ttc_lolly]

Awww sorry to hear that Tara, but if guess it's good you're being closely monitored and I expect baby will be delivered a little earlier (depending on size/response to meds)?

What lovely pics wildchic! And glad you got to confirm the shy baby's gender 2 girls are a blessing!

Thanks ladies appt with the doctor in half an hour, but my pulse seems fine today so not sure how he's going to be able to check me over when I'm doing good!? Oh well, still going a lot and voicing my concerns. I know as our blood volume increases our pulse would too, but I feel crazy weird when it happens (and as it's not constant it's a bit unnerving). It's like an andrenaline rush but feels horrible my fiend said it sounds a little like a panic/anxiety attack, which I guess she right, but I'll literally be sat there doing nothing and it just starts!

 

[ab75]

Hope your appointment went well lolly.

Thanks Tara.

Hope you get things finalised soon Welsh girl and glad baby is growing well.

Been for my growth scan and as long as baby stays cooking until 37weeks at least, I can have my home birth xx

 

[Izzie74]

So I've started my baby shopping at last! Just some basics, but I feel more prepared now. At least she'll have some clothes to wear and a place to sleep!

 

[ttc_lolly]

That's great news Ab fx'd for that home birth!

Izzie, I did the same and felt so much relief at finally getting a bit ready for her arrival!

Well ladies, I'm off to the hospital! Had my drs appt and told him about my heightened pulse and my breathlessness when it's happening etc, and the GO asked if I had swelling and pain in either of my legs, to which I answered no. He said he thought my right calf looked a bit bigger than the left and there was a bit of difference when he clasped each one between his hands. Got his tape measure out and my right calf is 3cms bigger, which doesn't seem like a lot but because of the other symptoms he wants me to get checked out to rule out DVT/pulmonary embolism. I'm sure it's neither (I HOPE!) but best to get checked out I guess. Will update when I can x

 

[sethsmummy]

Oh no Lolly. Good luck Hun!!

Izzie glad you've managed to get started. Feels so much better once your starting to.get organised.


Welsh I'm glad everything was good on your scan Hun! I've not had my whopping cough or flu jags yet. In fact they've not even been mentioned!
Sorry to.hear your still having trouble with the bank

Ab. Glad your scan.went well too Hun.

[sethsmummy]

Sorry about your mortgage hell. What a pain!!

Great that baby girl is growing well!

I had my whooping cough and flu jabs yesterday. My adult son had his a couple of days ago and my husband had his last week. No after effects at all except for sore shoulders.

 

[JanetPlanet]

So I've started my baby shopping at last! Just some basics, but I feel more prepared now. At least she'll have some clothes to wear and a place to sleep!

Oh my gosh Izzie, you are NOT alone!

You're ahead of us! We have NOTHING except some clothes. Baby boy will have to sleep in an emptied out dresser drawer if this keeps up! We don't even have a room for him yet - but I have almost totally cleared out my office so hubs can start the renovations.

 

[JanetPlanet]

Organs :s. Stupid tablet. Rohans!!

I had a good snicker at that. At first I thought, "But isn't his name Rohan?" The cot looks adorable hun. Good job!

 

[Izzie74]

Lol - and I thought organ's was some obscure make!

 

[ttc_lolly]

Ahhh so cute Tara! Organ

Oh ladies, what an evening was referred to the ambulatory ward at hospital and the nurses there didn't seem too concerned because I've got no pain in my legs or chest. I was told I'd just have blood tests to rule out clotting, so they took some bloods and I had to sit in the waiting room basically waiting to be given the all clear. A nurse came back an hour later and asked if she could do an ECG on me, which I thought was odd but we went ahead and did that. Then the consultant came in to see me... bloods came back positive for clotting, or a clot, or something I don't know. Either way it's not good, as we was expecting it to be negative. So I'm being treated as if I do have a clot for now, was given a blood thinning injection and have to go back first thing tomorrow for another injection and then a Doppler scan on my legs. Then I have to go to Northampton hospital for a specialist chest scan I'm told it's still not definite, and the chances of it being a pulmonary embolism (the serious kind) is very low as I'm not having any chest pain. Hopefully it's just nothing, and my bloods just showed me as high risk and it'll mean I'm just monitored even more highly for that. Could be DVT but that's treatable/manageable. Just hoping it's nothing arghh I get the worst luck for last few weeks of pregnancies!

 

[wildchic]

Sethsmummy- the cot looks lovely! Can't wait to get ours! Hopefully soon!

Lolly- I hope all is ok hun! Please do keep us updated!

Izzie- yay for shopping for baby things! I haven't started yet! And time is nearing!

Welsh- sorry you're having all that issues with the bank! Hope all works out for you hun! Glad to hear your baby girl is doing well though!

 

[wildchic]

Lolly- hope its not as bad and that the blood thinning injection helps! Did they say if it will have any effects on baby?

 

[sethsmummy]

HAha sometimes I think my kindle has its own sense.of humour

Oh no Lolly I am thinking of you Hun!! Fx it is either just showing as your high risk or it is dvt and treatable keep us updated Hun.

The cot is a kinder valley mini kai cot. I got mine from Asia for £49 and it comes in LOADS of different colours. It's 100*50 so won't last as long as a standard cot but i dont have them in a cot for more than 15 months so should.be fine for us xx

EDIT - ASDA for goodness sake ASDA!! Not bloody Asia. This kindle hates me.sometimes!

 

[ttc_lolly]

Injections are completely fine for baby so the consultant said, just doing some reading up now. They can cause burst blood vessels though so I'm to expect some nose bleeds (if I'm on them for long) but if I start bleeding down below I'm to go straight in to a&e. Such a pain, but I'm glad they're doing all the scans and ruling out all possibilities. Just to think I wasn't even going to see my GP about my symptoms as thought I was being a bit of a hypochondriac!

 

[brunettebimbo]

What injections are you on? Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

 

[ab75]

Hope all is ok lolly.
I went in with dd2 at about 32 weeks as I was breathless and they kept me in overnight as they thought I had a blood clot. Turns out I never but I had fragmin injections for a few days and then for a few days after she was born.
Hope your next appointment goes well xx

 

[Jennuuh]

Thank you for all the support ladies! Some of you had some great advice and definitely gave me more to talk about with my Dr. and the hospitals when we finally get to tour them! (I came down with a sinus infection, so I didn't think it was wise to go visiting nurses who care for a ton of pregnant women and new babies!)

Sorry to hear that Lolly - Hoping they can figure out what's going on asap!

Love the cot Sethsmummy!

Hope you're able to get your home birth Ab!

Welshgirl - I haven't been offered whooping cough yet, but I think I would definitely get it or I'll ask for it. I refused the flu shot for now, but once I feel better I'll be getting it for the sake of her!
