Thanks girls! I will receive it within the next 3 weeks. I get a pack of pampers nappies, pampers wetwipes, a bedtime cd and a sister lilian sleep remedy kit (it's a south african brand that has colic remedies, etc, it's apparently all natural and can be used for newborns)

Tomorrow my SIL is taking me to do the registry for my baby shower. I can't wait, it's like shopping without having to spend money :haha: Unfortunately though, I can't bring it all home with me!
 
congrats on the win Jolene, i've got a baby shower at work tomorrow as im leaving on Friday, im sooooooooooooooooooooo tired i really need to have time off

Yeah inside your green NHS pregnancy notes Naomi, they plot it from week 25. If it is on the middle line then it is average, then they have a lower line and an upper line. They only refer you for another scan if bump is consistently above or below the lines.

It must be different here then as I don't have green notes. They do measure my bump but it doesn't get put on a chart. I will just have to wait and see what they say on my next appointment on Monday I suppose.

Hey Ladies, am off for my Anti D injection this lunch time, booo I hate injections! Anyone else had this? Does it hurt? xx
 
Naomicourt, I'm also getting measured for the first time today so I will let you know x
 
hi boobaby, I had an anti D injection at 26 weeks as I had an accident that involved a serious bump to baby :( Had lots of black & purple bruising over the bottom right hand side of my bump and into my hip. Had the blood test to see if mine and babies blood had mixed and it showed very little mixing of our blood. Still got to have another at 28 weeks as standard on Friday where bump is being measured as well. Got measured at 25 weeks but was told it wasnt an accurate measurement till 28 weeks. I dont have a chart either :(

I wont lie to you the injection doesnt 'hurt' as such its more of a sting than pain. The needle is so fine you dont feel it but they do inject quite high up (my midwife did). Its the actual solution that stings as it is quite thick. It feels like a wasp sting.

Hope your appointment goes ok :hugs:
 
Thanks mum2be2011, sorry to hear about you accident but glas bubs and you are ok. Think I'm having the jab in my bum cheek so at least I won't be able to see the needle I guess. I hope I'll be able to sit down at my desk afterwards!!:haha:
 
Just got back from my apt and ouchie ouchie that Anti D injection isn't a nice one but only lasts a few seconds. Am glad it's out of the way!
She did it in my arm though, so now I feel like I've been punched in the arm. Ah well, eating cake now as my reward! :thumbup:

Sorry you're in pain, boobaby. Congrats Jolene on the win. I've been entering all sorts of competitions and I've not won anything:nope: so am glad that someone is. 29 wks tomorrow. Time is going slowly. I have placed mental countdowns in place: 30 wks then 31 wks (coz single figure weeks) then 34 wks coz the baby is as safe as if she was full term and then 37 wks because then it's classed as full term. Does anyone have anything else I can add to my countdown list to help pass the time? Anything I've missed? I'll be adding my midwife appointments, obviously. And my antenatal appointments.
 
Hello ladies! So glad to hear everyone's doing well and your bumps are baking nicely! Well, here I am, 3rd Tri today. I'm so excited! I realized yesterday- at the hospital, BOO!- that yesterday my little girl only had 3 calendar months left to bake! OK, OK, I know now you're asking the question- why were you in the hospital?!?!

I wasn't expecting to have to go there in the first place, but the OB told me to. Starting Monday, I had really bad pain in my back and right above my pelvic bone on my left side. It was a weird sensation like a burning and pulling. I figured it was something to do with my sciatic nerve, as I've heard many of you ladies talking about similar symptoms. The pain was severe, but it happened at work after spending a long time on my feet and walking around, and I felt better when I got off my feet... so I waited to see what would happen the next day after a good night's rest. I went to work again yesterday, hoping for the best, and after about 45 minutes on my feet the pain was back! This time, it was worse than ever! I had to hide "backstage" to cry a little and get off of my feet. On my break, I called my OB, but she was out to lunch. I left a message on the emergency line asking what to do. I didn't hear back until the end of my shift (granted it was only 2 hours later) but she told me to go to the hospital so that they could monitor me for contractions. I got there and they hooked me up. Turns out, I was not contracting and it felt like such a waste of time! Granted, it was nice to hear LO's heartbeat on the monitor and hear her kick the microphone, but I have an ultrasound and GTT today, so it wasn't like I didn't know when I'd hear it again.

Speaking of which, I'm so looking forward to the ultrasound today!!!! This will be OH's first time seeing his Little Girl! We're both so excited! I hope my OB gives me loads of pictures, since at my 20 week the technician at the hospital only gave me a couple, but no profiles- just a few of the "face" and one of the potty shot. I would love pics of her profile, a better one of her face, one of her feet, hands, sucking her thumb, all those cute baby things! If I can, I'll post them later, along with my first 3rd-tri bump!
 
Ah sorry you guys, just presumed all English peeps got the green NHS standard notes. I can put the measurements on for anyone who is interested:
The midline on the graph average measurements are:
25 weeks = 25 cm
28 weeks = 27cm
30 weeks = 29 cm
32 weeks = 31 cm
34 weeks = 33 cm
36 weeks = 34 and a bit cm
38 weeks = 36 cm
40 weeks = 38 cm
These are the fundal height measurements from symphis pubis to top of fundus.
 
Alright! Back from my GTT and ultrasound. So awesome! My LO is growing exactly on schedule, even though my tummy is presenting small. The Doc says I just must be carrying her really well. We got double confirmation, yes, she's a girl! Woohoo! I was a little nervous because everyone who's seen my bump says I'm carrying like it's a boy. I must say, the fluid I had to drink for GTT was not as bad as everyone has said- maybe because it was fruit punch flavored. I found it yummy!
 
Is the Anti D injection standard? :hugs: to everyone that had a painful experience with it.

Disney - glad to hear that all is well with you and :baby: and that the u/s went well.

Had my follow up scan today for low lying placenta and glad to report that all is well :happydance:
 
Disney - mine tasted like flat orange soda... not terrible, but not really great either LOL I failed my GTT :( I have the 3 hour one on Friday! ugh! I pray I pass!

how long did you wait before you got the results of the GTT blessed?

I drank the goods, then I was put on a monitor for about 15 minutes... did the dreadful weight gain check..... and then came back to me about 30-40 minutes later.. all in all I think they checked me about an hour afterwards :shrug:
