July 2009 buddies wanted!!

[shelleylu]

Hey girls!

Just a quick one as Im getting ready to go to the hospital. 2 appointments today. My kidney scan this afternoon (fingers crossed we get to see bean!) and neurologist this morning for my weird migraine things.

Gem, as usual I am in the same boat as you hun. Apart from the return of m/s (seriously gutted) I dont feel any different at all. I havent for a couple of weeks now. Weird old feeling - but Im enjoying it, as this isnt what I associate pregnancy with after my l;ast 2 horrors. Here's hoping its a tiny baby with minimal fuss in delivery suite too...lmao...

Maybe - was your sister suprised to see you? I remember you saying it was going to be a suprise!! Hope you had a nice time. I remember being 16...Makes me feel old!!

Hey Lisa, welcome again hun. I can sympathise with PG brain. Im normally a bit of a loon, but when PG it all goes out the window.. Good job I dont work as I wouldnt be upto much! How are you getting on? How has it been so far? We'e all had our fair share of dramas on this thread so you're in good company!!

How many girls have moved over to 2nd tri? I have to say it seems a bit more 'clicky' than 1st tri - or is it me? Some girls are really lovely, but some dont seem to be bothered? I dont know, its probably my sensitivity....?!

Welcome Helen - I'll add you xxxxxx

Whitelilly - 1 more sleep to go !!!!!!

Hi to SJK, Niki and Sarah. Hope you're all well xxxxx

 

[geogem]

Shelley, - hope all goes well today sweetie.

Lisa - BFP stands for big fat positive - as in preggo test!!

Well ladies, I have been getting all sorts of pulling type pains in my lower tum area again - so starting to make me feel like something is actually going on!!
I think as I havent had any real symptoms yet I still dont think it has sunk in that there is a baby in there!! even tho I have had 2 scans!!

I know - I'm daft, but hey arent we all??

right better go - at work!!

TTFN!!!

 

[SJK]

Hi Shelley, hope all goes well today, let us know xx

ok, lol , my turn for the preggy brain, wot does TTFN mean

WL, njoy the scan tomorrow

Honey try not to worry, Lo must be abit further in just, and probably starts to party when you are asleep, you will hear / feel it very soon x

Well I got my 16 week reassurance scan today for Monday @ 09.45hrs, looking forward to it, wasnt going to bother, but might as well.
Told my boss today, he was grand, dunno why I was worrying and I asked him not to say for a few weeks and he said he wouldn't

Also my best friend had a mmc a few weeks before me in June and today was her date, bless her

 

[geogem]

TTFN stands for Ta Ta For Now

Its what Tigger says on Winnie the Pooh!! - Sorry, goes to show my mental age doesnt it??!!

 

[shelleylu]

Haha, yes Gem it does. But hey - I say it too!!! ooops... lol

Ok girls. MY KIDNEYS ARE NORMAL!!!!!! AT last we got some good news. Of course it goes hand in hand with other news... The sonograoher saw my gall bladder had a stone in it!! It didnt bhave like a normal stone (what exactly a normal stone behaves like Ill never know!) I had a blood test to check my liver function, so lets hope all is well. I have actually been passed onto the consultant team because of all the problems, so the waiting time in the hospital is just crazy. I wish I could afford to go private!!!!!

The neurologist appointment was a little more interesting. For the last 9-10 months my pupils have decided to go all weird. As soon as the sun goes down they dilate. Even in a fully lit room, they are still huge. I look like Im high on drugs!! Along with this, I get various symptoms such as dizzy spells, locked jaw and bad migraines. My GP told me it was a form of migraine since it started, but no treatment has worked. Of course now Im PG they cant do a lot. I saw another GP a couple of weeks ago for something else, and mentioned it. He reffered me to the neurologist stright away. Just goes to show not to take 1 persons word....

Anyway, cutting a very long story down. The neurologist (who has an interest in pupils funnily enough) doesnt think he's ever seen anything like it before in his career!! I have to go back to a specialist department to see a couple of consultants who specialise in optometry(sp?) and neurology. I have to take pictures of my eyes in different lights to prove it happens too! Aparently there is a new machine built for weird pupils that he wants me to guinea pig. Nice. I dont think I can wait...hmm...

So there you have it. Nothing goes to plan with me and my odd body!!

Gem - hows the cough going ?? I am getting used to feeling good now. Think itsd the 'blooming' bit everyone talks about..

SJK - You are so right o have the scan!! I dont think I could resist!! I even asked the sonographer while he was scanning my kidneys if he'd peek over to LO! He did and gave me a couple of pics too!! Its always nice to see them. Especially after a mmc. I'll post pic later. Its good you have such an understanding team. Where do you live? I tell you, it makes a massive difference. In the centre of B'ham you get treated like bloody cattle!!


Right thats enough going on lol

TTFN xxxx

 

[SJK]

glad all well with the kidneys and hope you are able to get sorted out with your pupils. I noticed mine always seem to be huge, alot more than they should be and I be worried about getting stopped by the police and them doing a drugs test with the pupil card and wrongly accusing me of driving on drugs, knowing my luck

I live in sunny Belfast, but my consultant noticed how anxious I was, she is so nice. Good you got to see the lo, did you notice much difference from the last scan? I cant wait to see the difference in 4 weeks.

Cant wait to see your pics, thats me back to work, away out to grab some dinner

 

[whitelilly]

Have fun tomorrow xx

Hi ladies. Shelley glad everyting is ok with yr kidneys & they are sorting yr pupils.

I'm starting to get nervous about my scan now. I keep thinking cos I've hardly had any symptoms & only felt the odd twinge that they're gonna tell me it's a missed m/c, but then I think well even though I know yr body still thinks it's pg when you have a mmc, would you still get twinges? Cos surely yr uterus/baby wouldn't be growing....but then I haven't had many twinges. Yet if I'd had a lot of cramping & stuff I'd be worried that something was wrong!!! *SIGH* You just can't win.

TTFN (I didn't know what that meant either!)

 

[wishingonastar]

[whitelilly]

Hey, what a day!

Went for 2.40 appointment and didn't get seen til 3.25... nearly weed myself. Baby was fine, first of all lying on it's back, lounging around, ankles crossed... although it then decided to play funny buggers and do headstands so sonographer couldn't measure his/her head! So, I had to empty my bladder and drink more water then get re-scanned! They managed to get a quick measurement before it went back on it's head! lol

Anyway, all fine, measurements all ok, baby active and had heartbeat. Been put at 12+4 (so further on by a day, yippeee!)

Here is our little miracle.... xxx

 

[Elliebank]

Oh that's great Whitelilly, I'm so pleased for you! The pic is lovely.

Mine's not till 3.15pm on Fri so I bet they're running late for mine too - I hope I don't have an accident!!! I'm finding it really hard to hold my wee in as it is!!!

 

[shelleylu]

Ahhhh, lovely scan pic WL, Im so chuffed everything was ok - and what an ordeal! Have you been eating smarties all day?? lol Maybe your LO will become a gymnast??!!

Hello eveyone else!!!

Ive been suffering with these migraines again. Ive had one virtually constantly for 3 days now. Just have to keep sleeping to try and get rid of it, but that makes you groggy, so cant bloody win. Cant wait for this appointment with the head people to see whats going on. My life is well and truely buggered when I get bad with it. Apart from that, the PG stuf is great!

A little bit of nausea tonight, but thiunk thats because Ive been sleeping this afternoon. Ive cooked another beef stew (had 2 last week!!!) and I can smell it, but have to wait for aaaaaages to eat it because I fell askeep and didnt put the veg in!!!!!Gutted..

Gem, I am often on my own regarding talking about things nobody else understands. Its one of my qualities. Good or bad Im unsure....lol.. To be honest, its rare anyone knows what Im on about...!!

Honey, sweetie I agree with you, you should put the doppler down for a week or two. I know my MW said she wouldnt use one till at least 16wks because of not being able to find a HB, and all its doing is stressing you out. I thin kI done myself a favour not buying one in the end, because I knew Id be exactly the same as you!!!! Have you felt any more movements yet? I have only felt 1 yesterday and thats been it!! Eat a shed load of biscuits, go and lie down in bed in the dark and see if you get a movement!! I find LO is more active after ive eaten - that or being poked by a sonographer!!!!!!

Ooooooh the smell of that stew. If I could post you all some, I would!!!!

Hope everyones well???

TTFN! xxx

 

[maybethistime]
