I went in to see my doc this morning as I found this little nodule in my vajayjay that was a bit tender to the touch. Felt like a bubble but was black in color and pretty hard to the touch. I figured it wasn't anything major but better be safe than sorry. Turns out it's a varicose vein!!!! SERIOUSLY??? I can't believe I got the equivalent of a hemorrhoid in my girly parts Luckily it's tiny and doesn't really hurt…just kind of like a pebble in your shoe; chafes at times but mostly is just there and annoying. The worst part is there is nothing I can do to get rid of it or to prevent others from forming…I think it's because she dropped late last week…I totally knew something was up. All that nerve numbness since about Friday…she's deffy on some nerve…

Since I was already seeing my doc, I figured I'd mention that I was having the nerve pain and that she was very different yesterday in her movement and kicking, like she was trying to get out for real this time. It actually hurt! I also told him that I didn't sleep half the night cause I got this thought in my head that the painful pushing and kicks meant she flipped over and is now breeched!!!! So with all that the doc did a quick ultrasound to see if she was head down and she is SO YAY! BUT unfortunately, she seems to be a bit TOO LOW for 34+5 weeks! That coupled with her big kicking (could have been fetal distress) and my "advanced maternal age", he's decided to have me start fetal non-stress tests twice a week starting this Thursday…fun fun Better safe than sorry I guess! He said to take it easy and not do anything to cause preterm labor cause LO seems ready to come out…I certainly hope she stays put for at least another 3 weeks!

Kte - yeah 'it' is awful…they is much nicer…there's always peanut!

baby_maybe - yeah there's definitely anger expressed when the hiccuping takes place I guess I don't like having the hiccups either!! So I should be more understanding

baby_bray - yeah it's not fun when they do something 'uncomfortable'…I think it's that her latest kicks have been right behind my belly button…I'm used to them being higher. So they just feel weird…tho at times they do actually hurt…I think that's when I get an elbow or a knee!

sharn - glad LO is head down!

OK time for bed…I'm exhausted as I didn't really sleep well at all last night!

Fingers crossed she stays put a bit longer mrs chezek! It's good that they're going to keep a close eye just in case

Hi Ladies

Joined this group from the beginning but never had the opportunity to comment. But always kept up to date with posts.

Kelly, I was also diagnosed with Obstetic Cholestasis last week. How are you coping? It's driving me crazy.

I had my routine midwife appointment on Monday an she said I have protein and something beginning with 'L' in my pee that indictated a infection. She said that its nothing to worry about, and said drink plenty of fluids!
Well me being me I rang my gp and wasn't impressed, he said that the pee should have been sent to a lab to see what the infection was and whether I would need antibiotics! So I sent him a fresh sample yesterday and he said that if there was anything then they would send it to the lab but it there wasn't the nurse would ring me letting me know!
Well I rang the Drs today and they have sent my sample to the lab I haven't got a clue what it is as I haven't had any symptoms of an infection apart from random pains but thought that was to do with the normal pregnancy stretching!
I'm kinda pissed at my midwife, I knew she wa lapsy daisy but to not do something so simple as this

Oh well I guess I will see shortly what's going on

Hope your all well

Xx

My midwife wont send off a sample or anything unless the urine also shows Nitrites. I was left with a UTI for roughly 4 weeks as there was never any nitrites.. then left a further week waiting for the results to be given the right kind of antibiotics. Fingers crossed you should have your results pretty quickly, I had to wait from a thursday to a tuesday to get mine through. x

 

[baby_maybe]

Mrs c - glad they are keeping a close eye on your LO

AFM - Well saw the consultant, he is still happy to take the suture out of my cervix next week. He felt my bump today and said the fluid seems to have reduced a bit as the baby was easier to feel, although there is a little doubt about the exact position of the baby due to the fact that he still has extra fluid to move around in and so he does, constantly! As such he is saying that currently I have an 'unstable lie' which means I could end up with a csection, but he did say that given a bit of time the baby might get himself into the correct position and stay there. So basically we'll see what happens! I'll be seeing a reg next week for the stitch removal and he is on holiday and then seeing him the week after at which point I might get a presentation scan if there is still no baby's head in my pelvis!

So pretty much all good today, just need to be a bit more patient in waiting for this little man to make an appearance

Leucocytes? I had traces of both protein and leucocytes in my wee at my midwife appointment on Tuesday but she said it was only a faint trace and the chances are its to do with the increased discharge which comes at this stage. She wasn't worried and never mentioned sending it off to be tested, just said she would check again at my next appointment in 2 weeks. I'm sure all will be fine.


Hope everyone's doing well, I always read but don't always post.

I am 31+3 now and feeling it! I'm tired, not helped by my 2 year old who has had some shocking nights lately (being up for 4+ hours in the middle of the ight) and being busy at work! so needless to say I am ready to finish work - 4 weeks on friday and counting!

Lou1234: Get better soon

Sharn: Glad your appointment went well and baby is head down.

MrsChezk: Wow! I didn't even know / think you could get them there! Hopefully you don't get any more and it doesn't get too irritated Fingers crossed little miss stays put for the next few weeks too. Your having a time!

Paula: Shame about your MW but glad your getting it looked at and hope everything is okay

Baby_maybe: Glad its all good news at the appointment

The MW appointment went well yesterday. It wasn't my usual midwife though, I hate it when that happens! It was a midwife and student midwife. They measured baby and they have moved onto the middle growth line (don't think we have ever been on the same line yet). I hate them feeling and prodding, my tummy is so sore and tender now. They said LO is head down but there is still have time to move around which I knew anyway. Thankfully pleanty of movements tell me they aren't sticking to one place! Plus, there isn't much further up my body baby can hide, right under my ribs. I don't think this office chair helps but i'm not sure what I can do other then take walks that don't work. Next appointment is at 35 weeks, hopefully my midwife won't be on holiday anymore then

 

[sharnw]

MrsChezek , stay put now bubba, dont come down anymore just yet xx

I had some protein in my last urine sample at 30 weeks. I also had thrush at the time, but they still made me send a sample of for testing. Never heard back so assume it was the thrush, which I was treating anyway. I think it is standard practise here to send the sample off if protein is present.

wow hehe if they did the same over here my poor midwife would have to send one almost every time for me x

 

[rmsh1]

It might also be because I am with a high-risk clinic, maybe they wouldnt be so cautious at regular clinics?

 

[sharnw]

I fell over in the middle of town on the foot path. LO was protected as I landed on my hands and bent my wrists
I feel so humiliated ;( but im so glad I didnt land on my bump

 

[skeet9924]

oh sharn good thing you didnt fall on your bump!! Hope you wrist is ok!!

AFm: had my maternity shoot with my friend today!! She took a lot of pics!! I'll post some when i get them!! LOl it was so funny dragging oh out to it..he hates his pic being taken!! it was like dragging a toddler to the dentist or get a needle!! But once he got there he loosened up a bit

 

[sharnw]

Thanks skeet x

Oh wow cant wait to see your pics

 

[MrsChezek]

paula - that is kind of sucky of your midwife But I'm glad your doc is taking it more seriously and you're getting checked out!

baby_maybe - great news on the decrease in fluid! I hope he goes head down for you when the time comes

Kte - thanks! YES, she likes to keep me on my toes…and I didn't know you could have them down there either!!! Alas…there are worse things I guess so I'll keep trying to stay positive Hope your LO stays head down for you!!!

sharn - oh no! I'm glad you were able to brace yourself…I bet that was mortifying! But glad it ended well…

skeet - can't way to see your pics! I am still waiting on mine…the photog went away on vaca for 2 weeks 2 days after our shoot…so hopefully we'll get them soon!


So I had some some preterm labor signs yesterday evening and throughout the night, but have been symptom free since breakfast. Symptoms were - lightning bolt pain in cervix area at bed time, period like cramps in the night and then lower back pain just like I used to get with PMS when I woke up in the morning. It's all gone now so hopefully it won't come back, but I see my doctor tomorrow and will have my first non-stress test so hopefully all is well

I'm not too worried but JUST IN CASE, we vamped up our baby prep today and checked off a bunch of items that are critical to be done before LO arrives...going to continue that for the next few days so we're ready if push comes to shove. Kind of exciting I guess but mostly scary. I want her to wait at least 2 more weeks!!!!

 

[rose.]

How scary but exciting mrs chezek, if she does come now though I am sure she will be fine, only a couple of weeks away from term!

 

[sportysgirl]

Sharn, glad your ok. It makes you feel silly when you fall over.

Mrs C, hope things quieten down and that LO stays in there a little bit longer for you!

Off to the midwife today for my 34 week check!

 

[Kte]

Hope your okay Sharn, glad you didn't hurt bump tho
