Morning everyone,
Well I got into work at 7 am this morning and have been awake since 3am I think this might be the 1st uncomfortable part of my pregnancy lol.
Nic – Aw sorry to hear that the rumour mill has got you at work, unfortunately I think it is one of those things with an office sigh.
Pips measurements look great and I am so pleased you had a good sonographer mine was amazing and it makes such a difference I think.
So at ante-natal last night we did pain relieving in birth, In Scotland we get Diamorphine rather than pethadine and she did say that it can be a bit better than pethadine because you recover quicker from it but overall both sound pretty bad and the thing that has put me off the most is that they both go through the blood so baby gets them and can be a bit out of it for up to 48 hours after birth and if they give it to you to close to actual birth then baby might need a shot to counteract it. Also it can hinder baby breast feeding properly if it is still affected after birth. So after hearing all that I am going to not go for any opiods, I think I would prefer and epidural to one of those. I have actually just remembered I was on a pethadine drip when I got my tonsils out at 20 and it would knock me out evertime I had a hit of it!
One of the girls in the class did talk about Sophrology which is similar to hypnobirthing and apparently is massive in France, it sounds really good so I am going to have a look into that.
Lisette – How are you hun, I hope they are not working you too hard! How are you feeling now that you have had your scan and it is all looking good?
CH – OMG what is happening, it all sounds very promising. Soooo exciting. It feels so close I know it will happen soon it just took you body a few months to get into the swing of it.
Snow – How are you hun, I can’t wait until you wake up and update your chart so I can see what is happening. What cycle day did you get your BFP last time? I tested CD11 and got a big old BFN and then had a temp drop below cover line so was sure I was out and then about CD13 temp went back up and I tested and got BFP so you are definitely not out yet. Even if it is not this cycle I am sure it will be next and it is not far off.
Hands – There is so much padding in there to protect baby and then baby is still very very weak at this stage (no muscle strength yet) that it is not surprising we don’t feel them for a bit, they need to develop their strength before they can give you a good old boot lol. I can now feel and see baby right in the middle of my belly where the placenta is so it won’t be long for you I promise.
Bex – How are you feeling? Still good and no sign of MS yet I hope. Have you been to your doctor yet? I didn’t even go to the doctor I just self referred straight to a midwife. Are you still testing? I tested every day for about 2 weeks after lol. I then went to the early pregnancy unit at my hospital and made them scan me to make sure everything was ok cause I was so worried, I think I might be a bit crazy though.
