So I now know why I’ve been so ‘wet’ down there... I have a urine infection! The sample I gave them 2 weeks ago at my scan showed up an infection and they only just today phoned me. I’ve got antibiotics now so should be okay in a few days.

It probably explains why I’ve been so incredibly tired lately too, more than normal pregnancy tired.

OMG red what happened?! How awful! Huge hugs.

Afm 17 weeks today and feel really heavy! X

 

[Lightning7]

So so sorry to hear Red

I know nothing we can say can help but I am thinking of you through this difficult time!

How silly that they took so long to tell you! Glad it will be fixed for you soon though!

morning ladies. I'm having a bit of a rough day so far. After my last appointment I had a couple more days of 2x progesterone 2x/day, then I went down to 1x progesterone 2x/day and finished my last one last night. I also know I didn't drink very much last night. Well this morning I'm feeling mildly crampy, I got overheated and light headed on my way into work this morning. I had to get off the train to sit for a bit and have a drink. No spotting or anything and now that I've has some water I'm feeling a bit better.

To top it off, 4 years ago today is the day we lost our baby. So I'm trying not to freak out and feel like maybe I'm being overly sensitive due to that.

Yesterday I got the call for my MFM appointment, which will be March 29 so I know I have extra support and reassurance just a week away. If anything, I'm in a better spot at work then I would have been at home, I work right next to a medical block with 3 of the best hospitals in the country, but I just want everything to be fine.

 

[Joybell]

Hope everyone is doing OK. I've been having constant green discharge for the past few weeks. Phoned midwife today and she asked me to pop down urgently for a swab. So I've done that today, fingers crossed everything is fine.

Little foosh- sorry you're having a tough day. I'm sure you were just dehydrated and too hot. What's an MFM appointment?

Joy x

 

[LilFooshFoosh]

Thanks Joybell, I've had a couple of litres of water and I'm feeling better now. MFM is Maternal & Fetal Medicine, they specialize in high risk pregnancies related to either issues with the mum and/or baby and genetics.

Hope you get you test results back soon, good thing you called to get it checked out!

 

[Ursaula]

I'm sorry red_head. I truly hope you'll find peace and strength to journey forward in time.

Thinking of you all. Hoping infections, spotting, and green discharge go away. When will you know results, Joybell?

My baby bump has pushed out. I'm excited but with it came even more extreme nausea and vomiting. I'll be calling my ob/gyn tomorrow. I can't sleep it's so bad. At least constipation is fixed for now.

 

[Joybell]

My midwife said the swab would be collected yesterday and I'd call a call in a day or so if any issues.

Sorry about your nausea Ursuala. Hope you can get something to calm it down a bit.

 

[Catmumof4]

Joy Bell hope all is well!

Lilfoolish hope your feeling better today,

Afm am very happy have finally lost a stone and a pound since being pregnant. Had midwife today she's really happy with my progress and nad etc x

 

[LilFooshFoosh]

Thanks ladies. I am feeling better today and the trip into work was not as eventful, though I'm thinking I either can't read or I'll need to make sure I get a seat.

So glad it's Friday, I'm so looking forward to relaxing this weekend. Anyone have anything excited planned?

So glad you are feeling better.

My son has his boy scout "pine wood derby" this Saturday. Other than that I am just hoping to relax and enjoy some time off. Oh and I might finally get to switch out all my clothes in the closet.

Had my AFP drawn today and should hear back by early next week.

 

[Catmumof4]

Glad your better hun! Not doing much my oldest two have their school disco this evening and because of the ages they have different settings so when I pick up millie it's time to drop jasmine off in 15 mins lol x

That's fun and exciting! Are you going to make a day of it and go for a joyride after?
my 18 yo twin bros were quite disappointed when we got rid of our hatchback and truck earlier this year and traded them in for a minivan. We haven't told them yet but our needing to fit our whole family in 1 car easily far out-weighed their ability to borrow our sporty car for free

So glad you are feeling better.

That sounds like fun too! My son joined (beaver) scouts in June last year and has really gotten into it now. He just had a meeting last night. I am looking forward to when they do their first overnight camping trip.

Switching out the winter stuff for the summer stuff or regular clothes for maternity? I like doing things like that...and reorganizing, drives DH nuts

Is it the same school or at least ones that are nearby? Are they getting all dolled up? I'm looking forward to the day my DD doesn't run away screaming when I pick up the hairbrush.

 

[Catmumof4]

Lilfoolish that made me laugh my 2 year old has to be wrestled into a hairband lol, they go to the same school but they do two sessions one for reception to year 2 and the second for years 3-6 millies in year 1 and jasmine is year 3 which is a pain in the butt but hey ho yh my princesses got all pretty for the occasion x

 

[imaginary8x]

Had a private scan today baby is a GIRL!!!

 

[mickels]

Hi guys!!!

I've been a little awol lately, because of internet issues at work and home. Luckily it's been sorted out and I'm back.

So sorry to hear that some of you have had it a little rough lately, hope ya'll are doing better now.

So sorry to hear about Red, hope you get through this and at least have someone to talk with.

Congrats to Imaginary on finding out your having a girl, you must be so excited

AFM: Not much to tell from my side, these last couple of days were rather uneventful. Nausea and vomiting are still getting me down as it has not subsided much at all. Other than that: I'm healthy, baby is healthy and that's all that really matters

 

[amytrisha]

I’ve been MIA due to my sons birthday on the 23rd so it’s been all systems go here for a busy weekend of parties and trips out! He turned 4!

Foosh, I’m glad your feeling much better!

I hope everyone’s infections clear off soon!

Well done Catmum! You must be chuffed with yourself!

AFM not much to report just experience a big increase in CM (ew) which according to the apps is normal. Keep worrying about my waters, I’m so paranoid

Congratulations on your little girl imaginary!

 

[alice1234]

Oh Red - I don't know if you're still here, but if you are, sending all of my thoughts.

AFM, while it's nothing in comparison and now I'm feeling even more grateful, I've been floored with a really chesty cold/sore throat for the last week - I forgot what it was like not to be able to take anything for it! I've still not really got my voice back, which is great when a spend most of the day on conference calls

My EDD is now 21st Sept following my scan, but it's likely to be 14th that I am taken in for a section - less than 6 months away now - eep!

My 4.5 YO DS knows now too and he's really proud to tell everyone - dug out my old Doppler last night and he was thrilled to be able to hear the baby.

Has the FB group been set up? I lost track!
