Hi ladies boiler sorted hopefully! Step daughters bedroom carpeted wallpapered new light fitting new wardrobe doors painted window sills.... New furniture hallway wallpaper stripped carpet up! My house looks like a bomb hit but were getting there all in preparation to do baby room!! Exciting!!

Got a letter this morning I got another scan on 4th April as they check ur cervix to make sure it's competent! It's a new thing at our hospital between 21-25 weeks to see if your at risk for early labour/ per eclampsia! Got scared when I see it! But now think extra scan!! Woohoo! X
How's everyone doing? X

 

[jenny25]

Please send pink vibes xxx

Davies I get cervical scans too Hun cause of my history but hunts another scan lol xx

 

[petitpas]

Davies, I had a cervical scan at 18, too, but by my private consultant. I think that's really good and proactive that your hospital do that
Just so you're forewarned, I didn't get to see the baby during the internal scan but my consultant also did an external one. Hopefully, your hospital will also check that baby is ok and give you that extra chance to catch a glimpse.

Jen, what a thoughtful gift! I can't wait to hear what flavour you are having... I'm guessing

 

[daviess3]

Pip think its as I'm high risk I don't no, but my mum developed high blood pressure in pregnancy mines been low so far! An I have a condition called lymphodema where I hold extra fluid in my lower legs! It's not horrific but I hate my legs not alot of shape there, do always cover them up! My calfs are large for someone of my size! This puts me at high risk for preeclampsia! Can't believe I may not see my bubs! I want to see again!

Jen wow how lovely can I see your 12 wk pic again I need to guess lol! I didn't no there was a baby bond in Chelmsford! X

 

[petitpas]

Davies, I remember you mentioning your lymphoedema. We had a chat about compression stockings, I think. Do they help you at all?
It's not exactly the same, I know, but when I wear mine my dvt calf is definitely slimmer

 

[daviess3]

They can help but you need to wear them 24 hrs a day! An as u no urself stockings don't go with everythibg! Got myself some Materbity compression tights which are good but again rights With trousers! I wear them when I feel my legs hurting! X

How's everyone? 2 toilet stops in the night got work todsy! Yuk! My mums at my sisters as she's going on holiday tommorow! So won't se her for mothers day! but will talk to her about 3 times no doubt ! Happy mothers day uk mummy's an hopefully this time next year.... X

 

[jenny25]

Davies, is the 24h thing a lymphoedema special? Because in general stockings should only be worn during the day when you are up and about. They recommend putting them on before getting out of bed but I never do that. I have my showers in the morning

You probably need more support than I do because for the blood thing it is most essential to wear the stocking below the knee. It's the calf muscle that pumps the blood up and the stockings aid this with their graduated technique. So with trousers I wear below the knee black stockings. In summer I wear the granny style 'sand' colour with open toes so that I can wear sandals and flip flops. I even wore one on my wedding day and nobody noticed!
I know what you mean about the NHS stockings not being nice I think that especially the thigh-length ones are (and they wonder why people don't wear them and have relapses - honestly! )
My lovely hubby bought me some French ones from Sigvaris. I know of a lady with lymphoedema who managed to get an NHS prescription for them and used it on a website I recommended: https://www.happyhealthylegs.co.uk/ (I am proud to say that I played a part in introducing the founder of the website to Sigvaris )
So it is possible, but I'm not sure exactly how she did it. Her username on here is Lynn but she isn't on very often. It might be worth PM-ing her.
I loooooooove my sigvaris stockings. I have patterned ones and plain ones in gray, brown, champagne, pink and blue!

Oh, if you find out how to use an NHS prescription, do let me know as I'd love some proper maternity tights from there but £80 is a little steep in price...

[heart tree]

Just a quick pop in.

Lou, very exciting! Good luck honey! Hope he's here the next time I log in! xoxo

Jen, lovely gift. I've updated the front page. Can't wait to see what team you're on. I'm still on team for you.

Davies, I got to see my bub when they checked my cervix. I'm glad they are going to check yours. I updated the front page with your scan date too.

One more sleep until I see my baby again! She's been very active. I love it. Having a great time with my mom. Hope everyone is doing well!

 

[bumpyplease]

Omg Lou how exciting I know how much you were hoping for a mothers day baby!!!! Good luck sweetie!
Happy mothers day to the rest of the uk girlies!! We told my parents today, I put the picture inside the card and they are really happy! X

 

[petitpas]

Lou, that's great news! I laughed out loud at your shopping 'incident'. Did you flood an aisle? Were you able to preserve your dignity with some clothing to hide it or was it quite public as in tannoy announcement 'bio hazard clean in aisle five, please!'
In any case, what a great story to tell your little one! Wishing you a smooth and easy delivery

 

[hopeful23456]

Lou- that's awesome! Clean-up on aisle 12 please! omg, just re read pips post and you said about the same thing!

Can't wait to see pics and hear the birth story, so excited!!!

Jen- cant wait for your scan either! I think girl....

Davies- hope work is going well

Hi pip! You are tiny on your pics! Makes me feel huge, so you gained 15 lbs and I'm up to 21-22. didn't take me long to catch up but your boobs are way bigger

Hi bumpy! Happy mothers day to you uk girls too! Funny we have a different date for it here.

Heart- scan tomorrow! Pics please and your mom gets to be there!

I'm sick! Havent been this whole time but dh has been really sick so I got a touch of it. Very slight temp (99.1) and tickly throat and kind of light headed, like a head cold and some coughing. Don't want to cough though and move the babies! Hoping this goes away soon.
