*** May Babies ***

[LogansMama]

Oh - so I go for my 19 week check-up tomorrow. Excited to go. Probably won't be much of an appt... just a quick measure and a listen to the heartbeat.... but I'm still excited. I am anxious to hear baby, after my whole asthma ordeal... just to know they are okay. AND I want to talk to her about the Placenta Previa, since I haven't spoken to her since the specialist told me I have it. I have some questions about that (how covered is my cervix - partial, total, etc...?). I wasn't totally listening when the doc told me about it....
I also want to know about donating cord blood. I can't afford to bank it myself, so I thought that I could at least DONATE it. I need to find out if she will charge me to collect it or not. I believe I was told that if I were banking it, there WAS, but I wonder if I'm DONATING it, if she would be willing to collect it for free or not... need to find out!
Anyhow... I'll talk to you all later. Have a good night/morning...

Logan's Mama, I am pretty sure that DONATING cord blood is totally free including collection as it can be used by anyone. The NHS will not store anyone's Cord Blood specifically for them unless their is some genetic illness they family is predisposed to. I will check my book (I left it at work) and get back to you sometime today.

I'm going to die of exhaustion. That's all!

 

[babyhope]

I am in so much pain

I have pain in the area between my groin and leg, walking hurts even turning in bed hurts, I don't know how I am going to do work today.

 

[insomnimama]

Sorry to hear that babyhope.

As for me I can't seem to shake the tiredness and once again had a giant midday nap Am hoping to get my energy back for January when I have to go back to work.

babyhope: It sounds like SPD/PGP. It started for me a few weeks ago and seems to get worse everyday. Talk to your midwife about it and she should send you to physio and they may even give you crutches and/or a support-band if it is quite bad (I have put off going to see my mw until me next booked appointment which is Wednesday).

Well, I have just notice that I moved up a box! My bump seems to have go a lot higher recently and looks funny now.

 

[BabeeAngel]

Is anyone without a bump buddy?... no one has answered my thread in the buddy section I'm due on the 28th!
I hope all you girls get your energy back soon...
I luckily got some of mine back a week or two ago... and I really need it with a 7 month old LOL (who gets up a lot in the night)

 

[insomnimama]

I'll have a C-section sometime around the 27th, BaybeeAngel, and would be happy to be your buddy if you're still looking for one.

Hi everyone

I haven't been on in a week or so, so I have a lot to catch up on. Just wanted to drop in and say hi.

I saw my midwife this morning. Baby seems nice and healthy. My blood pressure is a little high though so she said to make sure I drink plenty. I actually went all day yesterday with only one cup of tea at breakfast. I just forget to make myself drinks and I don't really get thirsty. It also explains all my headaches as i'm getting dehydrated without realising.

8 days left until my 20 week scan. I can't wait to find out what team i'm on!

I've been feeling realy hormonal and upset all day and just want to cry. I cried so much this afternoon that there can't be much more tears left in me. I just feel so depressed. I think I might run myself a bath in a minute and have an early night. My DH has gone out to meet a mate he hasn't seen in 2 years. He's got 2 places in Italy so we're hoping he'll let us go over for a holiday next year when the baby's old enough to fly. Can't wait for that. I've always wanted to go to Italy.

Well I'm going to go for my bath. I hope the rest of you are doing OK. xxxxxx

Ive had loads of energy, dunno whats up with me lol ive been having very late nights this weekend and earlyish mornings and ive been fine, 3 weeks ago i would have been dying by now for sleep lol. Not really been up to much just the usual shopping and we had a night out on saturday where i was pulled over by the police after coming outta the pub in my car...he assumed i had been drinking, i took pleasure in saying no as i was pregnant...he looked rather sheepish and took my word for it lol

 

[Windmills]
