ok so who wants to get pregnant in 2011? (closed group)

[babyhopes2323]

so today being saturday i went for my weekly injections to the hospital. my ob gyn does not work on saturdays, but i get my injections from the nurse at ER. i had bad cramps today and wanted to get it checked with the doc on call at ER. this fat australian nurse took my vitals and then asked me about my cramps. i said i didnt have any that moment, but then had bad ones in the morning and wondered if i could meet the doc, she said hmm ok , wait outside. she then comes to me and says the doc is busy and cant see you.. i was like okay... then i got peeved off. she came with me to the cashier and asked him to give me my insurance card back. he said "why hasnt she been to the doc?

the nurse then smartly said. she will not see the doctor.

he turned to me later and said why did you even speak to her, you could have said you wanted to meet the doc. i was like yeah what can i do if the nurses here make a decision as to whether you meet the doc or not !!

i went to the ob gyn dept. and asked for a referral and said this nurse was denying a pregnant woman to meet the doc. the doc at ER then spoke to me on the phone and i said look. she did not take me seriously because i did not have cramps at the moment she checked me, i cannot predict my cramps, but why should she decide if i get to meet the doc or not?

the doc said we are very busy etc, you dont have an emergency , so take an appointment and come later.. i said ive come all the way from jumeirah.. where i live is quite a far way off ! and i cant believe you are also rejecting a pregnant woman. i then was done speaking to her and i turned and my stupid silly hormones !!


i started crying so bad..it was weird.. i was crying thinking to myself, how can the nurses decide whether you get to meet the doctor ??

i was looking stupid right then..wow.. ive never experienced something like this.. i remember at 5 weeks 6 weeks pregnant, i was about to cry at a mcdonalds counter because they got my order wrong,.. wait, the order was right, but they didnt add the double cheese like i asked them to !!



whats going on..?

anyway im peeved off with that hospital and all other hospitals are so busy, so ive got an appointment with a lady doctor who is a part of this hospital but works in their other branch which is literally 5 mins away from my home. so i will be seeing her tomorrow and if i like her, then she is only 5 mins away for the rest of the 7 months, but she will have to deliver me at that hospital ive been to today..

thats fine, i can accept that, if it means she is close by and i dont have to go to that hospital every time for my check ups.

hope everyone else has had a better day than i have !!

Sounds really confusing baby! Here we don't go to the hospital unless an emergency so thats how it is here too. We need to make an appointment a week in advance for anything. We just go to see our doctor at the clinic every few weeks. Or, if an emergecy, we go to ER and wait a few hours to see someone. Not fun!

I think cramps are fine. Your uterus has to grow and stretch. I wouldnt be worried about that you are good!

 

[babyhopes2323]

thanks ny, i know what you mean, but thats not the point, the thing was i couldnt understand why my hormones were playing up and i actually cried because i wasnt able to see the doc, and thats not me.. i dont cry like that.. lol

[nypage1981]

Oh! Its normal too trust me. It's horrible. I cried huge sobs last nifty because my oh wouldn't stop tickling. So laughing uncontrollably turned o sobbing and I feel so out of control! I seriously feel nuts the way I can get nowadays. Don't feel too hard on yourself you aren't abnormal.

 

[babyhopes2323]

wow, crying because you got tickled, yea i do that, well i usually scream to have it stopped, but my worst was when i was almost in tears at mc donalds !!

you know, ive been meaning to ask, do you have any symptoms at all, now that you are 11 +3 ? apparently the placenta takes over or something so its common for symptoms to go away, well ive been really having no symptoms at all, regular urine, sometimes a little more, no sore boobs or nausea or anything.. i wouldnt say im worried, but i wouldnt say im not either, i go to the docs tomorrow because i wanted somewhere really close to my house.. so hopefully find out that everythings ok tomorrow. fx'd

 

[nypage1981]

Honestly mine faded a ton. Once in a while I feel sick and achy boobs but not much. Only thing I still have a lot is kot wanting any food and laziness. I guess placenta takes over around 12 weeks? I have heard after 9weeks its common to fade. Mind you, with my daughter I had virtually nothing at all. Not even bloating so felt very not pregnant. It's a lucky thing i guess but like you, I need symptoms to reassure me. Again, doppler will help you so much!

 

[nypage1981]

iI can't wait to hear about tomorrow. my fingers don't need to b crossed for you cuz I really believe it will be great tomorrow!

 

[babyhopes2323]

just cant wait for the doppler to arrive, i believe you, its going to be so reassuring..

they said it should arrive no later than tuesday so thats not far away, bet ill be ripping at the covers and looking for the hb until i find it no matter how long it takes me !!

whens your next scan? cant wait to hear about it.. plus youre so much further on than everybody else, if youve got a bump, post a pic, id love it to see it and compare..

i feel especially bloated, i mean its a bit hard, and i feel uncomfortable sleeping on my belly which i dont, but if youve got scan pics, show em !
i dont have a scanner to upload mine, but i think i should be a little more confident and start celebrating this baby after 12 weeks.. until now, ive only been vaguely happy, more times scared and skeptical so.. i cant wait to genuinely feel happy about this..

i want you to soo totally be happy and excited... the only time i think ive even heard you be vaguely excited is when you found the hb with the doppler, but i can totally understand your concerns and worries.. but hey.. guess what.. youve got three.. and i mean only 3 days until your 12 weeks.. its gona be a partyyyy

and to NDH, Dew and Sarah!!

hoping you get your BFP's soon soon soon!

Hope everyone else is okay, Babyhopes sorry you've had a stressful day!

Today is Lottie's birthday... this time two years ago she was about an hour old and we had just taken this picture..

Our lives changed forever 2 years ago... and it feels like she's always been a part of our lives!

 

[Dew]

Happy Birthday Lottie! She looks adorable. Congratulations to you Mummy!

 

[Dew]

NY: hope you are enjoying warm weather today

I see some color in my CM today so AF is probably gonna show up tomorrow, the actual expected date. There were lots of symptoms which could suggest pregnancy but then the biggest symptom of breast tenderness was missing, also the nasty BFN at 11dpo was pretty suggestive...My gynec had asked to wait two cycles so at least now I am not giving her a reason to say....I told you not to...Oh well!

Good luck Babyhopes!

what a beautiful baby for an hour old! those eyes!! usually they are so squished with their eyes closed. happy birthday lottie!!

 

[sarahincanada]

babyhopes: urrgghhh that woman was not very nice! but to look at it from their side they probably get a lot of pregnant women coming in with non urgent problems and so probably have the policy in place. poor you for crying awwwww Im confused (doesnt take much ) I thought you had your doctor that marcus person, who is this new person and why are you seeing them tomorrow?

dew: sorry that you have some colour if it does turn into AF then at least you have a new cycle of hope and your doctor wont be mad at you! FX'd it will happen for us soon

 

[babyhopes2323]

Happy birthday Lottie.... Mummy, i can imagine how wonderful it must feel to see every birthday pass in front of your eyes, with your child growing and so different from every year..

sarah, im going to see this new doc so i dont have to rely on my husband to take me all the time as its a far ol trek and im going to the same hospital but different branch, one thats literally about 5 min from my house... so i can visit her for 9 months, all very close to my house but when it comes to delivery, she will come to the main branch, and deliver me there..

ill see how i feel with her today, if not marcus is always there..

fx'd for you dew..

 

[babyhopes2323]

so i went to the appointment and the baby is doing fine, kicking up a storm and waving its hands, measuring at 10+ 2, didnt like the doc though because she was so stern and not warm at all, couldnt connect with her the way i did with marcus, so marcus it will have to be !

plus she said i could start prenatal vitamins and she said to reduce my progesterone tabs from 3 to 2 times a day. she said not to use a doppler and that it will make me crazy. i dont like her now !! ive just spent 58 $ on a doppler !

she also basically said i have to do the NT scan because of my blighted ovum. twin sac, she said the placenta has taken over almost completely and everything seems fine.

my marcus appointment is on the 6th so i will still go to him and ask him about the doppler and travelling to the uk as we will be travelling next month first week on holidays.

ill be moving house in four weeks, havent found one and our lease is up !

 

[MummyCat]

Thanks ladies!! She was spoilt rotten and woke this morning so excited to play with all her new things Bless her!

Dew, i hope it's not but if it is, at least it's full steam ahead for next cycle, without a worry about what the doc might say!

Babyhopes.. not sure why she said no doppler... unless to not cause extra stress if you can't find the heartbeat. Glad you got to see you baby again! Crikey! I've still not seen mine!!

Not sure if I mentioned to you ladies, but heard the heartbeat on the doppler last week so it kinda reassured me a little and I'm less scared about the 12 week scan! Which is 2 weeks tomorrow!

Sarah hun, I really hope your back feels better soon! And regarding your comment about Lottie and her eyes.. it amazed our family how wide awake she was.. not sure if it was the extra 2 weeks in the womb or what. Mike's Aunt said... this child was born ready for college slight exageration but she was very wide awake!

This is a pic of her about 3 hours later after the nurse wrapped her up as we were about to move up to the maternity ward. She's got her cheeky look in her eyes already... and she's only about 4 hours old here!

Anyway.... enough about me.... How's everyone???

 

[babyhopes2323]

mummy, im sure youre about 10 weeks and a bit, i mean when i get measured on the scan, they measured the CRL and i was spot on 10 wk 2days, im sure when you do go for your scan, they will tell you that you are further on than you think !


awww lottie is so cute in the blankie...look at that cheeky smile ! and only 4 hours.. i was expecting curled up fists and shut eyes... xxx bless

weve booked our tickets for manchester on the 6th of may so yay.. excited and looking forward to two whole weeks in the uk visitng friends and family in southampton, manchester, yorkshire, scotland and back.. and we're driving all the way up north and back down.. x cant wait to have proper tea and freshly baked scones with clotted cream. xx

 

[MummyCat]

Oh I don't know hun.... your LMP was a week before mine so it could be likely that you ovulated about 3/4 days ahead of me... hence you are already 10w 2d. But I don't mind only being 9w... so long as baby is healthy at my scan in 2 weeks time!

I can't believe on 2 weeks to go!! What amazes me is how patient I've been and how it's not really stressed me out at all... NOT knowing that the baby is okay! Weird!!

How fab that you'll soon be in England Hope you have a lovely time!! xx

 

[babyhopes2323]

trust me with not knowing, theres no problem especially if your'e not the worrying type, but if this is your first scan since your BFP, yay... its going to be so great.. !!! cant wait to hear updates !!

 

[MummyCat]

Thanks...Yep.. it'll be my first scan since BFP. Saw my MW at 8 weeks and need to see her again soon to have my bloods done! xx
