It was rubbish actually. The sonographer was an arse and didn't show us anything. Just measured the femur, abdomen and head then told us to wait outside while he plotted the results. My hubby had to go back to work then so it was a complete waste of his time to come. I was also annoyed with him because he described the baby's tummy as plump (which sent me into a spin - just before I had my BP taken - fab timing - not!) but when I saw the obstetrician to explain the results she said it was a great scan and that all the measurements were within the correct limits so no need to worry - stupid man. Have another one in 4 weeks but won't bother to make hubby come along for that.

Just read up about Lily Allen - so so sad. We were in a restaurant in London a few months ago and my hubby was convinced Lily Allen was at the next table. I didn't want to stare but said that I had just heard the lady talking to her friend about being pregnant - at which point hubby said he had read that she was (secret celeb-gossip lover!). We checked it out later and then I thought how lovely because she had her MC around the same time as ours last time and was pregnant again at the same time - poor lady. I wonder whether she was beyond 24 weeks (the articles say 6 months) - that makes it a stillbirth legally I think but the articles call it a miscarriage. I know it doesn't matter really and a loss is a loss but I hope that doesn't upset her more.

Was it Duncan? He is normally excellent - he did mine last week when I was stuck in hospital again and was lovely.

Sorry it was rubbish x

Don't get me started on the Lily Allen thing, it is driving me insane that everyone is saying she miscarried. She didn't. She was about 26 weeks so even by law that isn't a miscarriage.

Good luck Kim - get that neat arse up and head down, little man!

 

[hb1]

Glad everything is well lou and we dont mind we are all here to support each other x

Yay mich glad it wont be long for you x

oh man, I just read about Lily Allen.. that's soo very sad.

It's just awful isn't it Makes me extra grateful for every kick little man gives me. And extra angry at the numb nuts who used to say "Oooh wait til he's bigger in there and kicking the crap out of you - you won't like it then!" He can bruise my internals if he feels inclined, I don't care as long as he's ok!! Some people are just thoughtless.

Yes i agree Chloe gave me some right jipp with my rib, still waiting to find out if shes cracked it, but at least when she was in there and it was hurting i knew she was ok you dont care as long as you know that

I agree its so sad about lily allen bless her soul. I just hope people respect her and give her her privacy now.

for another baby welcome redley We will be able to have a PAL parenting thread really soon, so we can keep up with everyones babies growing up

Hope your little man in head down kimmy

[KimmyB]

girls, I'm back from the midwife and the verdict is...............................Who the hell knows?! Midwife still couldn't tell his head from his arse (poor little sod! ) So I've got a presentation scan on Thursday which I am pleased about as I want to be 100% sure he's head down. She said she was finding it difficult to tell because I've got good, strong abdominal muscles (erm, she obviously didn't see my belly before I got pregnant ) She was having a good old prod around though and it was quite uncomfortable. Had my repeat bloods to check iron levels again to see if I'm still anaemic. Also had a trace of protein in my urine sample but BP was normal so she's wondering if I have a UTI. So waiting for results from that. All in all probably the most complicated antenatal appt I've had to date! But good news is little man is well and HR good - thats all that matters! Hope you ladies are well x

 

[Tulip]

Oh Kim, poor little sod. Yay for scan though! xx

 

[KimmyB]

Oh bollocks...Just scared myself silly by using doctor Google...Oedema and protein in urine = preeclampsia right?! Oh god, I'm going to die!!

 

[MadamRose]

No it doesnt always mean that, i have had protien in my urine as few times and it was nothing, can also mean a urine infection.

Glad your getting a scan to check position of bubba. I remember Chloe when i had one at 37+6 if they show you his head you will see his little nose and everything. I feel in love with Chloe all over again when i saw her little button nose on that scan

 

[TripleB]

Don't worry about a trace of protein Kimmy - esp if your BP is normal. Because of my whitecoat syndrome they consider me at risk of PE and I have the protein dipsticks to use at home. I was told only a 1+ is a concern - a trace can be explained by any number of other factors. Glad they are scanning you to find out position - my friend was undiagnosed breech so its better to know. xxx

 

[KimmyB]

Thanks girls, obviously know I'm not going to die, I'm such a worrier though! Looking forward to seeing little man again on thursday though

 

[hb1]

At least you'll know where his neat buns are

 

[KimmyB]

At least you'll know where his neat buns are

Hoping it's his little head that's down because I've just checked my notes and apparently whatever is down is 1/5 engaged!!

 

[wish2bmama]

Kimmy, I have had 2 UTIs and BV so far this pregnancy. I wouldn't worry about it. I do hate UTIs though. Glad you get a scan soon though! yay!

Ooo! A new PAL baby! Yay!

I slept HORRILBE last night! OMG, I was miserable! My pelvis was so sore, my hip really hurt and my legs just didn't feel good. AND I had to pee all the time. I was so upset because I have an exam today! EKK! But then I got a little kick from my baby boy and smiled.
