Mother of all conception months Graduates

[PeanutBean]

Haha loopy I forgot you weren't in this thread at the start. Some things have worked out, I got my new job description and pay rise, haven't got the grants. But my mum's been on about lending me money to do a masters in something marine to get me up to date. A project for my mat leave. Dunno if it will be feasible though, would be better spending money on furthering DH's career prospects, mine are ok if not quite in the right direction.

I did have fun but used to go for the whole week so it's a shame to be missing out. But I have been an utter wreck today. Had to take the day off, maybe will do sick as I've not felt well enough to shower or dress all day. So two long days were clearly far more than I can manage and whilst it seemed ok at the time I'm paying for it now.

Oh and the thread is an h1n1 one since moved to debate because of the pages of arguments. It's just driving me nuts. The wilful and selective understanding of science that people apply in order to serve their own opinions is infuriating.

ahhh I see, wondered if they were revisiting the MMR again. I see stuff on here and think...do i say anything...but I mainly bite my tongue. Some people seem to get bent outta shape when they dont like what they hear, truth or not. I would be grateful for someone with your experience to point out the errors in my thinking.

Glad some of the stuff has worked out.

look after yourself and little bean and take the day off x
I am dreading feeling crap as I wont be able to take time off unless i die on the ward. Had slipped disc and was off work for ten months so my training programme is already extended by six months. Now factor in mat leave and returning part time i still have six more years of training ahead - they will add even more time off if am off ever again!

 

[PeanutBean]

Loopy I doubt you particularly have any errors in your way of thinking, surely really you are a scientist yourself?

 

[Duffy]

Loopylollipop, if you don't mind me asking what is lung butter? What do you do?

I used to do oil changes but I got laid off about 4 months pregnant with my daughter/or maybe three I can't remember. Someone all most ran me over while guilding a vehicle in they didn't get a friendly employee lol. I can't imagine going back to the job while late in pregnancy my belly wouldn't allow me to check raditor fluid or powersteering fluid/others hahaha.

sorry Duffy, the use of the term lung butter is the american coming out in me. its to describe the nasty stuff people bring right from the depths of their black smoked lungs. the correct term would be sputum, but i didnt feel that adequately covered the nastiness of what this guy was spitting at us!

I am training to be a GP. Started about a year ago, currently doing a six month post in psychiatry. stressful.

yes Peanut, I am a scientist. We wont move or doing anything much without a massive body of Level 1 Gold standard blah blah evidence behind it. But for the purpose of this forum I try to put it aside, otherwise I would spend my life ranting and really I just want to be on here as a shit scared mum-to-be x i meant if i was someone on here ranting, and someone with your experience explained the reality i wouldnt just keep harping on like some do...hope that makes sense , really tired been a long day and soooo dizzy

Duffy your daughter is so beautiful, makes me smile everytime i see that gorgeous picture

I know what you mean loopy. For me it's not the decisions people make but the nonsense or misunderstanding they base it on. I don't get into the ff v bf or the CIO/controlled crying debates. It's the ones where science is either absent (when clearly holding the answers) or utterly abused like the vaccination arguments or the bloody if I have heartburn am I having a girl ones! It gets taken so far beyond fun I want to knock people's heads together! Lol

i know exactly what you mean. I used to get people coming in who had done a bit of reading on the net and wanted me to prescribe, or at least support, their use of things like adrenaline and thyroxine to lose weight and im like WTF???? Just a small example, or taking poorly constructed 'research' as fact and not listening or allowing me to point them where to look for evidence based stuff that wasnt stuck on the net by drug companies or people who obviously have a vested interest...arghh rant over

need sleep, seeing double now and OH snoring big time next to me. feel like doing something naughty.... ..like holding his nose maybe...

night, hope you get a good night and feel a bit better in the morning. Just think 8 more months or so of this!

oh wow that interesting Molly! I am NHS, I think i will be about 21 weeks when I leave this rotation. I dont think you can get out of on calls till after 20 weeks but dont quote me on it. I just usually hide when it all kicks off

oh peanut having problems doing my graduate ticker???

 

[Bids]

All your jobs sound so interesting - i just work in an office, never really been bothered about having a career lol would love to go into Psychology at a later point in my life

Lolli i saw that you had a slipped disc a few posts back - i have had this too or degenerative (all the specialists i saw called it something different, i have no idea what the difference is)...

I was 18 at the time and have suffered with my back ever since as they said i was too young to operate on and only removed some of my disc (short story) anyway im really worried now that im preg that i'll be in agony as soon as i get a small bump, are you worried too?!

To everyone else thats already been pregnant how bad is the back pain thing??!! im stressing x

 

[madcatwoman]

when i had my ultrasound last week the sonographer told me i have a tilted uterus, she said its nothing to worry about, but it will mean i'll be left prone to back pain/aching in pregnancy!

 

[Bids]

if i have that as well i'll be in trouble, i suffer nearly everyday with it in one way or another

 

[madcatwoman]

awww, hope not, you'll be like a little ole lady!.

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Bids hon sorry but you asked I had a slipped disk too a few years before I had Oliver and pregnancy was a nightmare....I had physio and has to wear two bump supports one was a velcro hard type and the other kinda like a support stocking only big enough for my bump......Oliver was a massive 10lb 5oz so lots of weight! I know I will suffer this time for sure! There is support their so dont worry plus you can also do aqua aerobics etc and if your MW thinks you need it for your health or your babies it also counts as maternity app time off with work

 

[gilz82]

Hey all

How's everyone today? I felt a little bit better this morning, ate my crackers before i got out of bed and manage to keep them down

Got the info pack, that i was told to collect from the docs before my mw appointment, last night.

What a let down I thought it would be information about what actually happens at your booking appointment, but nope just a sample tube and a leaflet on screening tests.

 

[PeanutBean]

Loopy what's the problem? The URL is on the first post or right click on the image and do copy location. In your sig edit click the image button (after placing your cursor) and paste in the link (deleting the https that automatically comes up or you'll have it twice). Do preview to check. My sig was scrapped for bring too big (odd when it was only two tickets deep and says can do three) so I had to redo it and for some reason it wasn't working. When I tried again later it was fine so I guess a temporary glitch.

Well I feel just as sick despite a long night's sleep right through. Trying to eat but when I do I feel more sick. Just keep retching and getting pretty tired of it. Working from home yet again, I just couldn't manage getting up at 6 and fighting on the trains. Keep having headaches too. Bleurgh.

Bids I had quite a bit of back ache especially towards the end. Like madly says there are all kinds of things available to support you, just don't be afraid to complain and get a referral to a dr.

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

LMAO I already have all of my referral forms for physio in my mat notes ready to send as soon as needed b/c am sure I will

Forgot to say ladies I have my app for my 1st scan it came in the this morning it was for Monday 4th Oct at 3.45pm but I rang up to change it to Tuesday 5th October at 11.30am b/c I am not allowed to take Oliver with me apparently no children under 16 yrs old are allowed in the scan room but can wait in the waiting area with an adult which would mean DH wouldnt be able to accompany me in for my scan so to save alot of hassle I rang up and got an app whilst Oliver is at school for the very next day Cant wait ladies I will be 12wks and 2days by LMP

 

[Bids]

gutted but thanks madly/peanut i am glad i asked cos now i know that there is help and things i can do to help it, i am dreading it though - may seem like a stupid question but i can still have a normal birth though cant i??

I dont think i'll have an option not to complain but i wouldnt take back getting this little bean for anything i'll cope (i'll have to) lol

Oooooo exciting stuff madly bet you cant wait only just over 2 weeks to go im excited for you.... i'll still have 2 weeks after that before i even see the mw lol i'll be crazy by then i think!!!!

I know gilz i was dissapointed with my info pack as well lol

xx

 

[gilz82]

Wow Madly that's so exciting, not long til you get to see your little bean!!

Bids - That's rubbish about your back, hope you don't have too much trouble with it over the next 8 months

I need to ask a slightly personal question guys Are you still having sex? My OH is home this weekend and i know he'll want to and i do too but i'm also petrified that something happens to the jellybean.

Stupid i know but did anyone else feel like that the first time after ??
