[godivalocks]

hello ladies,
Going back to the sex drive thingy tho - Am I the only one who cant get enough of it?? I cant get enough of my hubby at the mo to the point were he has started to say no to me!! how very dare he?? surely he has a obligation to satisfy me whenever and wherever i need it?? ha ha - god i am a cow to him rnt i?? bless him.

Oh, I am at the point where I would like to, now, I just have no choice but to go without since hubby is gone, and will be gone, for the whole pregnancy.

It's torment, I tell you.

Elliebank: yes my kitties all know I am preggers, and have done for ages! My old lady cat Peachy who used to sit right on my belly now just puts her head on it and purrs. She first started this when I was about 5 weeks. Marmaduke keeps coming and looking at my belly suspiciously and then looking at me, then back at belly. He can obviously sense a little person, but can't work out why he can't see it. My other tow boys have been less aware. My "pretty but dim!" persian, Anushka (my avatar) is blissfully unaware, poor love!
I'm waiting to see what my dogs at my Mum and Dad's do next week. Wonder if they will be able to tell?

My Mum & Dad's dog doesn't have a clue, but he is a bit dopey!!

 

[NikiJJones]

Yeah: my parents' dogs are not the brightest buttons either!!

Hi ladies, just wrote in my journal at what happened at the hospital today, so thought I'd write it here too for my buddies -

Well I've been to the hospital today to see the consultant cos of the laser treatment I had on my cervix - WHAT A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME

She didn't even look at my cervix!!! Just said that as it's my first pregnancy they won't do anything, and if I do go into pre-term labour (which I'm more at risk of) they will know there's something wrong with my cervix. WHAT???? what about my baby??? She said well if I go into labour after 32wks I should be ok but before that, particularly at 24-26wks the baby doesn't have a good chance. OMG, I can't just wait & see what happens!!!

She has asked them to measure my cervix at my 20wks scan (when I'll actually be 21wks) but I don't think they'll do anything anyway even if it is too short!!! I'm scared it'll be too late by then - a girl I was talking to about it on here had to have stitches put in at 18wks cos her cervix had gone so short.

I wasn't worried about it before cos I thought they'd sort it if there was a problem but now I'm really worried

The only good thing that happened was she tried to listen for the HB on a doppler but couldn't find it (cue more worrying from me) but then she gave me a mini scan & I saw the baby & he/she's heart beating away!!

 

[NikiJJones]

Elliebank: sorry to hear all that. Glad the baby is OK, but how awful that they are being so laid back about your cervix problem. How can they expect you to just "wait and see"??? That is insane! Can you try to get a 2nd opinion?

My Midwife today went OK. Listened to baby's HB and it was nice and strong. Baby kept moving around so she had to keep moving doppler. She said it is a very active little one!
She's sent me off to see my GP about the headaches and sinus pain and sneezing, as she thinks I may have an infection. My temp was a bit raised so seeing GP this afternoon. She said this may be why I'm still being so sick, but also advised reflexologist for the ongoing sickness. Amazingly the reflexologist she advised is my yoga teacher, so will speak to her next week about having some sessions.
MW did say I may have to have C section though. I had a brain hemorrhage when I was a child, from an aneurysm and she said it would probably be dangerous for me to push. She said about 20 mins of it might be safe but anything longer could be dangerous, and first birth usually means pushing for longer. She said the consultant will speak to me about it on March 11th, but she personally would be much happier with me having a C section.
Not really sure how I feel about that. I am very scared of birth, but was hoping to manage it with pain relief. I didn't realise that my brain hemorrhage would be a problem. I don't want to risk my health though, so will have to see what consultant says when I see him. MW said I may have to be seen by a neurologist and have brain scans and stuff to make a decision. Yuck! She said they could contact my surgeon from when I was ill, but I bet he's about 80+ by now. He was about to retire when I was under him as a child.

I'm gonna see what my midwife says on Monday & try & get them to measure it asap. I'm not happy & am not prepared to do nothing so will see what she says.

Wow, that's good that they're considering yr brain hemorrhage, I wouldn't even have thought of that. Better to be safe than sorry though.

 

[NikiJJones]

Hope the midwife is helpful Monday Elliebank. They cannot just expect you to sit around and wait and see. I am shocked!

 

[Pudding-x123]

NikkiJ

Glad ur MW appointment, not sure what to say about the C section but if its the best way forward for ur health then maybe its a good thing suppose good thing about C sections are that u have a scudule day that its going to happen rather than waiting incase u go over due xx

 

[godivalocks]

Ok, getting rid of my rant. Just been a hell of a time around here for a while.

 

[geogem]

ttfn!!

 

[Jellybean2009]

HI Jellybean - we're well thanks - not sure about'enjoying' 2nd tri, but getting through it - How are you??

Only really logged on to ask Nikkip about the SPD> OMFG girl - is it meant to hurt like that ALL night? Seriously, I went out shopping after college yesterday for a couple of hours. Literally no more. By the time I'd got home I was really achy. I ended up trying to nap on m y bed but couldnt because the pain in my cocyx. I fell asleep after an hour, only to wake in agony!! I stayed on the sofa all night with a hot water bottle strapped to my back/hip/groin. I really think SPD is the only thing it could be. I couldnt get to sleep, OH didnt understand much and wasnt very sympathetic - which suprised me as he's usually good. The whole night left me feeling tired and sick. How bad does yours get, and is it every day?? I cant imagine feeling like that again any time soon. Seems alright this morning, just sore if that makes sense???

Anyway, hope you're feeling better??

TTFN everyone, DS needs feeding!! - no school again! woo hooo!!

Hi Shelleylu,

Yeh i'm doing better in 2nd tri than i was in 1st tri, my dizzy spells are starting to dissapear and im now feeling movements just like popping bubbles lol

 

[maybethistime]

Ok, getting rid of my rant. Just been a hell of a time around here for a while.

[Elliebank]

Hi ladies,

I had a pain in my stomach today when I tried to get up from the settee (didn't actually get up cos of the pain). It lasted about 15 secs & as soon as I stopped moving it got better but was still quite sore. I THINK it was just a growing pain, as I get them the odd time when I get up quickly or turn to the side quickly, but this one was REALLY painful! I've had nothing since & I've noticed I seem to get them when I'm hungry. Do you girls think it's ok? Do you get them?

Also, I think I have piles - I keep bleeding after bm. Will have to mention it to m/w on Mon, I have a list of about 10 questions for her! (and am fully prepared for an argument to get them to check my cervix - she's not gonna like me!)
