Sarah - Poor Oliver with the teething, Roh is the same at the moment, he's not himself at all, he keeps lying down next to me and just moaning, poor thing.
Modo - Grr, to losing posts!
Well, had my mw and consultant appointments. It was lovely to hear the heartbeat. It was funny though, i heard it 3 times for a couple of seconds each time, then i could just feel loads of wriggling Playing hide and seek! Anyway, it was enough to be very reassuring
Consultants appointment was less lovely. I've been designated high risk, and i have to have scans every week from 32 weeks to check the baby's growth, and also that my cervix isn't shortening. Meh. I'm really not happy about the guy's decision at all. He kept going on about my weight, as my BMI is 34 and 35+ is considered high risk. So he's basically decided to treat me like i'm morbidly obese! Also he kept harping on that i had asthma?!?! i kept trying to tell him its well controlled, and no issue at all as long as i have a flu jab each year. But because i've been hospitalized with it in the last 2 years (bloody swine flu!) he wouldn't leave it alone. He was kind of assuming i'd have GD too, which is ridiculous, as i didn't have it last time, so there is no reason to assume i'll have it this time. As for the premature labour, well, fair enough, Roh was early, but there was a good reason, it wasn't fully spontaneous... and he was only 6 days preterm!
Over all he decided i have to stay under consultant care, and has said that i won't be able to have a home birth I'm really upset They will review everything at 34 weeks and might possibly decide to change their minds, assuming everything is going well. In my mind though thats just too late on to be starting to plan to do it at home, its alot to organise in a short time.
Bah, sorry for the massive rant I'm a bit upset about the whole thing, and i feel like i want a second opinion, but i've got no idea how i'd go about getting one?
