October Rainbow Babies!!!

How is everyone? We're doing ok. I'm feeling a little uncomfortable today - hard to describe; just very "aware" of my uterus. Also had a constant tension headache for 3 days.
Yay for V-day Katia! Congrats!! T-minus 2 weeks for me tomorrow; However I've been doing some reading and 22 week old babies still have a 10% chance. Gives me a little hope.

Awh, how big is your bump atm? I feel absolutely huge, my uterus must have had a growth spurt though because it's harder than usual. I had headaches around 21 weeks, they've gone now though but heartburn has replaced it!
Thank you
that's good to know. A 10% chance is better than none! And your V day will come so quickly
I'm good thank you, you up to much today? I'm currently sat on my ball watching tv, back and hips are killing

xI'm sitting around like a sloth doing nothing constructive; trying to clean up but lose my motivation VERY quickly lol. Right now I'm watching friends deciding what I should do next. Dying for 24 weeks to come. I want to just sleep though the next 2 weeks - in fact I want to go to bed right now because I'm overthinking things lol.
When did you say they are they scanning you next?

xYeh it's similar here - but I tend to throw my proverbial weight around to get my way and get more scans/appointments etc. I'm seeing mine next Monday (23+4) to get approval to fly to South Australia. I don't want to go and I hope she says no lol - I'm going to demand a bedside scan to make sure my cervix can hold for the 5 days that I'm out bush. We're stuck in a remote small town for 5 days visiting DH's grandfather (it will be sadly the last time we see him) but I really REALLY don't like the idea given we're 4 hours from a major NICU. They have a hospital but obviously not the supplies to keep a potentially premature baby alive. Yes, I'm overly paranoid, but I don't like taking risks with my baby's life!
Ahh it's totally different over here, doctors don't have u/s machines or anything you have to go to hospital for them. I'm going mad over not seeing a midwife in so long, rang them and apparently they made me an 18 week appt but forgot to send me a letter so I obviously didn't go.. Say what?!
Awh not whilst it's going to be an emotionally tough situation, I'd be the same x

Congrats liloopsy - Double digits tomorrow!!! Are you celebrating?
I'm still hanging on to get to V-day - 11 days *sigh* - 11 days making all the difference between them saving her and leaving her...
Having strange mucus like discharge tonight (sorry TMI) - anyone else had this? Not huge chunks or anything - just snotty, stringy DC; it's unusual for me - I usually have creamy DC. Overanalysing I know, but I'll feel a bit more content if I know it's normal around 22-23 weeks.

Congrats on V day! only a week for you too Emerald!! Woo x
I'm measuring 3-4 weeks behind their dates bump wise (somehow) and by the dates they've given me as a due date I would have tested positive a day before I even conceived which isn't possible! so technically she's measuring more like 5 weeks behind and I said this to the midwife this morning and she said "oh well, just stay positive and she'll come when she's ready, you want to stay low risk so you can have your natural birth"
I mentioned not feeling her move much for days at a time and she went "you will be doing, you just don't realise" - I'm bloody over 25 weeks and see my belly move at times, I know what it feels like!! So I said this and then she tried to tell me that my anterior placenta wouldn't be affecting me feeling her movements and said I didn't know what I was talking about when I said it must do, I just wanted to slap her! I asked if I'd have a section in the same place as usual if my placenta is so low and anterior, she looked shocked and said "you don't need a section".. Then she went "you need to go to hospital if she doesn't move much but try not to go all the time for nothing, you want to stay low risk.." and then she actually turned around and said "don't start this just so you can be induced early like everyone else because you can't be fussed waiting and going to 40 weeks" - excuse me?! I said "I'll have been pregnant nearly a year by then, if you look at my notes you'd see I mc'd at Christmas..." and she shut up then.
Noticed on my notes after I'd got home that my blood pressure is rising compared to each time I go, still just in normal range at the moment but I've got a feeling it won't be next time.. Mentioned tingly hands to the midwife (warning sign of pre eclampsia) and she went "you're only a young girl, you won't have it don't worry" - my mum had it at 18!!
She didn't give me my matb1 form either, I have to wait til 28 weeks now.
I feel so let down!

Oh no Katia I am equally frustrated with my midwives. I finally got a mat B1 form yesterday. I feel my midwives dont care and just want me out the door ASAP. I have also found that loads of things in my green nots have been ticked as discussed but they haven't discussed them with me! Arrgh rant over lol x
