I got lucky because I expressed my desire to stay with my regular doctor who I have used for the last 7 years. I am comfortable with her, she is the one that got me to where I am & if at all possible she is who I want delivering Mason into this world. However, she is specialized in high risk prenatal care & not just your every day OB/GYN. I let her know this up front as I knew I would be considered high risk due to my age & past medical history that I knew I would have to have a consult with Mayberry (high risk doc for the baby) but that I wanted to stay with her as much as possible. So when I went for my consult with the "high risk" doctor (who is actually the baby's doctor until they are born. He makes sure everything is going right with your lo) he checked out Mason, made sure he was all perfect & released me back to my regular doctor stating I wouldn't have to see him any further unless or until something happened with Mason, then I'd start seeing him again.

Maybe, why is your age a variable for being high risk?! I'm 37 when the baby comes but didn't think that was particularly old!

I have my 28wk scan and appointment with my consultant this Thursday then after that mine is weekly too. Not high risk but am going privately so guess they have to justify their ridiculous fee package, eek! Next time I think I'll go for a reduced package back-loaded towards the end of pregnancy - touch wood everything has been fine so far for this one so don't think this level of involvement had been warranted to date. I'm perfectly happy to see him every week but, for me/this pregnancy, I suspect it will have been a bit of overkill x

holy the no breathing thing freaks me out I hate it always makes me worry im gonna have another gallbladder attack I didnt sleep properly for a week after that happened i was scared. Now I know its just Mason taking up all my space haha. got my glucose 2 hour test next weekend boo I wish it was one hour like it was with Carter but now its 2.

Crumbs maybesoon I can't believe they would even dare to ask you to even think one tiny thought about work whilst you have a newborn!!! I'm horrifed, has this guy ever had a baby himself???

 

[Courtney917]

Thanks! I'm going to fast to avoid the 3 hour...just in case lol. I don't remember what I did with my boys, I am thinking I fasted as I always went in the early am.

jules.... Here in Texas anything over the age of 35 is considered high risk & you are treated just a little different depending on your background. Mason's EDD is April 26th & my 37th birthday is May 2nd. But it's not just because of my age. I have had female issues my entire adult life. That is actually why I have the doctor I have. I began going to her close to 7 years ago because of my female medical history hoping since she was specialized in the areas I was having issues in she could help me. And luckily she did just that!!!

pinktiara.... I completely understand where you are coming from. I actually got out my doppler yesterday to listen to my Mason to see where he actually was because I really thought I was going to hyperventilate. I couldn't breathe for crap. I thought at one point I was going to have to go to the ER for oxygen!!! lol But after listening to him I found he was really really high so I went & took a warm bath & kinda pushed him down a little with my hands. It worked pretty well at least enough so that I could breath!!!

kezz.... Sad thing is, the one attorney that asked me that today has 5 kids & 3 grandkids.... Hell, when his step-daughter was trying to get pregnant a few years ago, she miscarried at 3 weeks & she was so upset that he & his wife took off 2 weeks from their jobs & went to stay with her. So knowing he did that I almost went off on him for asking me to even think about coming into work after having my baby. So freaking selfish. Now the other attorney (the main one) that I work for is single, never married, no kids so he is completely in the dark about it all. He doesn't understand people getting married or having kids at all.....

Anyone getting nausea??

I didn't have any morning sickness, just a week of nausea in the early stages. The past three days I've had pretty bad nausea and whenever I get in a vehicle (the motion) I almost throw up. Eating makes my nausea worse. My midwife said it was normal, especially in 3rd trimester. Just wondering if anyone is in the same boat...

 

[maybesoon]

NO NO NO ttc..... I don't wanna hear that another day of nausea is normal..... I was sick all day/every day for the first 12 weeks. I don't want that ever again. YUCK!!!

 

[TTCBean]

I know, I thought all that stuff was in the past! My midwife said the 3rd trimester is a lot like the 1st... not what I wanted to hear! Bleh! Here's to hoping a nausea/MS free 3rd trimester for us ladies...

 

[jtink28]

no nausea for me, ttcbean. i didn't get morning sickness either. is there anything your midwife can give you? i've had a scrip for zofran for years for my crohn's. it really does help.

 

[TTCBean]

She prescribed me something, I forget the name... haven't been to the pharmacy yet to pick up it! Hoping it helps

 

[pinktiara]

Oh im constantly pushing him out of the way bahaha poor kids like where do you want me to go mom. I had random nausea yesterday so strange i was eating dinner totally fine than took a bite thought i was gonna vomit. It was only a moment but that was about it nothing since than.

 

[lpjkp]

Yes,nausea and vomiting are a regular for me...then again, it was in 1st AND 2nd and now 3rd trimester too...ive just been one of the unlucky buggars to have morning sickness throughout the whole of my pregnancy

 

[jtink28]

i think i may be the only person here who wants to be pregnant FOREVER, haha!
i went into remission for my crohn's disease when i got pregnant, and all my symptoms have gone away since i've been pregnant. GI doc says it's something about pregnancy hormones that makes you go into remission. i'll most likely go into a flare and be back to my normal symptoms post-pregnancy. i should be pregnant forever!!!

 

[TTCBean]

My uveitis (inflammation eye disease) has gone into remission... I am hoping it doesn't return once baby is here, but it probably will. It's so weird how some medical conditions go away or lessen with pregnancy.

Hello ladies,

I was wondering if anyone has had... well, for lack of a better description, a feeling as though you've been kicked in the crotch? I started with this pain last night, and every time I turned over, it hurt. I feel like I'm bruised! It doesn't really hurt when I'm just sitting, but if I get up and walk around, it hurts. Anyone else with the same??

 

[Katrina18]

Oh my gosh Bella yes! I am so happy im not alone..this started a few days ago and I mainly noticed it when I was laying down and moved around..tonight I went for a walk and noticed it during that time. Not quite sure what it is, but I was going to ask at my dr.s appointment on Wednesday..

 

[lpjkp]

I had this start a few weeks ago,and I was told its spd,and got a referral for physio...its bloody uncomfortable! X

 

[Hann12]

I think 3rd trimester nausea happens because the baby is bigger and is kicking your stomach and organs so makes you feel sick. Also it is high up until it drops so is squashing your stomach causing indigestion etc. it's basically us running out of room. I'm not experiencing it too bad yet. Feel a bit nauseous when I wake and when I'm being kicked but cope able.

The pelvic pain could be SPD.
My SPD causes hip pain more than pelvic pain but lots get pelvic pain. I'm not sleeping well at all now. New mattress arrives at the weekend so just hoping it helps!

 

[Katrina18]

Thanks for the info ladies..a bit lost though, what is SPD?

 

[pinktiara]

I loved being pregnant with my first but this time around has been aweful
