WOAH!! Scuse the essay, I was just totally freaked when I found out I had it so researched it to death :)

Anyhoo, I managed to have a poo too this morning :wohoo::wohoo::wohoo:
 
hi
partner having severe pain and apparently nothing anyone can according to Triage nurse, doctor and pregnancy units are all fully booked until next week.
put doctor will see her this afternoon apparently.
 
Morning girls,
once again i love getting up and reading all your posts, makes me feel normal again, that i am not the only one having all these thoughts , symptoms and of course my obsession with re-testing :blush: my biggest thing is trying to cut down on coffee, I try so hard but i think is because I know that i shouldn't drink it makes me want it so much more, am trying but have already had two cups and want more. still cant eat anything :cry:
 
barbie - yes they do! :)

kns - do you know if you have any private scanning places near by? If you're that worried maybe it's worth getting a scan done privately to try and ease your minds? Big hugs to both you and your partner, I hope it's nothing serious!!

lilo - have you tried decaff coffee instead? Admittedly I am no coffee conoisseur but I can't taste the differance between caffiniated and decaff. Maybe worth a little shot then you can have the best of both worlds :)

Coffee is my biggest pit fall. I love the stuff, whether its in a cup, a chocolate, dessert, i love it. Gone from lots of cups a day to none which has been very hard, but im drinking more juice instead.

Another good way to cut down is to use a smaller cup, that way you dont feel that you're depriving yourself but you are limiting your intake!
 
Shrimpy, Yaaaay on the pooing!! i went last nite!! woohoooooo. hahaha. Feel a lil less bloated so that's good.

KNS- If your OH is in severe pain, take her to A&E straight away. Don't wait for a Dr appts. It maybe the start of a mc or a ectopic. Not all ectopics have bleeding as a symptom. Dont take any chances./

Thanks Shrimpy, I'd really hoped for home birth, or if in hospital, water birth, because the choice was taken out of my hands last time (prem twins and first pregnancy).

Will look up those free test kits.

I loathe hospitals, even more so since having the girls.... three weeks in special care... I reeeally hope I come up neg for GBS this time cos I don't want my options decimated before i start!! :(
 
Welcome Chimpette! and a huge congrats x

Jo- I cnt drink coffee now cos it makes me wanna be sick! lol. It was the first proper pregnancy sign that i had. It tasted vile to me.

Twinminator, I'm the same. I had my 1st daughter in a midwife led unit and it was fantastic!! With Summer I had to go to the big hospital and I hated it. The midwives were so busy that they nearly gave me antibiotics I was allergic to even after asking me if I was allergic to anything!!! I am desperate to go to a midwife led unit again and try a waterbirth (if I have time lol) but we'll just have to hope and pray! I think though, if I do have to give birth in the big hospital I'll ask to be transferred to the midwife led unit pretty much straight away as soon as they know baby is OK. That way I'll hopefully get the best of both worlds.
 
Thanks for letting me know Shrimpy, good to know that they are appearing, sometimes I just feel like it's a waste of time posting as they get ignored anyway! I know it's a fast moving thread but I try and contribute where I can, I'm not having bloods or early scans so I'm sorry if I'm boring.

Just had to get it off my chest. I do apologise.

hi she has been in severe pain for nearly 2 days.
pain started Tuesday but only now and again and its constant now. really annoyed doctor said to wait and nothing can do.
she has severe endrometriosis. wait to see doc at around 2ish hopefully. then hopefully he can see how much pain she is in.
didnt realise it was difficult to try and see someone about this.
think probably change doctors to bigger surgery with more available medical professionals.
regards
 
aww barbie, sorry you feel like that!! it is a fast moving thread and to be honest if I have 3-4 pages to read through I end up forgetting who said what and sometimes the topic completely changes so I forget to comment on everything. Just muscle your way in :) If you've asked something and you don't get an answer just ask again and I'm sure someone will reply :hugs:

kns - if your wife is in that much pain perhaps you's be better taking her to a&e like AQ said. You'll get seen much quicker that having to wait for your Dr to refer you. If it's been happening for 2+ days then I would say that warrants going there and making a fuss until you're seen! best of luck!
 
thank you, i will get her go in, she trying to catch an hours sleep at mo, i'm at work and she is on her own at home.
surely the triage nurse or doctor would of told her go to A&E?
 
Hi all - can I join? I just got my BFP yesterday, and my EDD is around 20th March I guess! Just like the rest of you I am extremely nervous, constantly on knicker watch and so far I've done two tests - one last night and one this morning... i'm sure i'll be back to the chemist tomorrow to get another one too :)

I am hating all these AF-like cramps, but I know it's normal... I have also been really tired today - slept for an hour at lunchtime and haven't really come round properly since. Could be because it's my first day without a coffee in a very long time.........
 
Barbiebaby- are you just having the usual 12 week nhs scan? I am and it seems like forever away :wacko: Reading trough this thread it seems most people are having early scans, Im so jealous :haha:

kns I hope everything is ok :hugs:
xx
 
Well I rang the midwives yesterday to make my 1st a ppt with them. They don't see anyone till at least 9 weeks. So my a ppt with them is 5th August. Seems ages away..... I presume that's when they'll take blood etc?
 
Anybody else find themsleves to be colder? I constantly find myself being chilly even though it's fairly warm. Must be all the coffee I'm not drinking.

Can't wait till the baby is bigger to keep me warm!
