Morning everyone - thanks ladies, I think I'll ring the community midwives and get them to find out the results. The nurse at the centre where I had the GTT said that they wouldn't give me my results over the phone as they couldn't verify that I was me (!) but a midwife could ring as they have their registered ID numbers etc. Like you say, no news is hopefully good news but I don't really want to have to wait til my next appt next Friday.
Well the antenatal class went well, I enjoyed it! Not sure about husband but it was the sort of group discussion/introduction kind of thing that he hates. The next few sessions will apparently be very practical, we have a breastfeeding class to do, in-depth pain relief etc and an all-dayer in a few weeks on a Saturday where we have to bring a packed lunch and everything! Lol! I'm taking my mum to that one, no way will husband last a full day. I'd rather he was at home decorating with the dads anyway. The other couples seem nice (bar one bloke who was a bit too serious and another one who knew far more about labour and birth than his mrs), will hopefully create some sort of bond with them. I have the latest due date of the group but the fattest stomach.
We talked about the stages of labour, placenta delivery, contractions, staying calm psychologically to manage pain and what we can do to relax ourselves etc. There will be more stuff to come on massage techniques etc. At the start of it I couldn't think of any questions then by the end I had loads of things I wanted to know about! She even had a demonstration pelvis and a demonstration placenta/umbilical cord! Tee hee. We were looking at pictures of newborns and I pointed out a cute little bubba who was being delivered with 'ah, look at that little chap'....*pause*....'oh hang on, it's a girl'. Rofl! Me and the girl next to me had a good old laugh then decided that perhaps we should start with the basics. She hadn't even noticed!
All of this meant that my tea consisted of half a tuna and cucumber sandwich before in the car park and the other half, plus a sausage roll, at home at 10pm. Bubbo was then a bit lively in bed so husband got to finally feel them kick! Woop! Jealous of Barbles' Chinese feast! I have to have lunch with my boss today to discuss the current state of play on my workload. Ugh. I hate these 'catch ups'. But I've had a look at the work restaurant's menu and they've got crispy sweet and sour pork with noodles so that'll do!!!
Have good days all!
PS: Michelle, my IBS means that my bottom often takes me and my husband by surprise. It's been fine all pregnancy but has gone a bit haywire in the last week or so, not sure why. Meetings with my boss often send me a bit weird though so could be that, with the nerves/panic/abject dislike.
