Hi ladies,
Not long back from the hospital & no further along than i was yesterday. The consultant agreed the amount of oedema i have is abnormal for pregnancy, this & my palpitations are concerns for my cardiac wellbeing & i should of had a referral for cardiac investigation in my 1st trimester. Any referral now won't be acted upon for a few months but he's done one anyway so at least his back is covered
. When i told him i was going for an ecg after my appt with him he seemed pleased & asked me to ask them to review the report immediately so i had an outcome. On examination he said Tufty isn't engaged at all (despite the midwife saying he/she was) & he said he would have exepcted me to be engaged by now being my 1st baby (apparently subsequent babies engage earlier). He also asked why i was bothering with thrush treatment????????? I felt like doing things to his man bits which would not be deemed lady like
typical of a man who has no idea how uncomfortable thrush can be, let alone delivering a baby with it
. The consultant doesn't want to see me now until i'm past my due date & i still have no midwife (i asked - i got looked at like i'd lost the plot, then i got politely smiled at
) so i have no consultant & no midwife weyhey!
Sooooo, over to cardiology i weebled, had my ecg, told them what the consultant had asked me to tell them. I was told it would take a week for it to be reported on then the results would be sent back to my gp. I didn't even bother to put up a defence - i trully have given up now!
Oh when i got home i also realised he never bothered to review my blood results either, so i've text one of the nurse consultants i work with & asked her if she'd glance over them & let me know if there's anything i need to act upon.
Anyway - i'm glad they didn't keep me in (which was my fear) so i'm home now, have blown up my gym ball & am bouncing up & down on it as we speak, willing Tufty to engage. I have 4 huuuuge punnets of plums which DH bought home from his parents house last night (gotta love their orchard!!!! but no idea what i'm gonna do with them all - aparently he froze the majority of them at his parents already eeeeek) and i have jarred up 7 large jars of pickled shallotts
mmmmmm - roll on christmas heehee!

for your plans being messed up, as long as you & bubba are safe & sound just keep thinking positive thoughts
Awww MrsJ08 - soo happy for your baby turning around
that has cheered me up no end hun
Lovely crib too - looks like the one i have (but i have no drapes
damn
).
how many RLT tablets should i be taking per day for them to work?
Have you not bloody started them yet - i sent them aaaages ago
. I started about week 32 taking 1 a day for a week then increased the amount by 1 tablet a week so now i'm on 5 tablets a day as 6 is the maximum dose. The idea is to build up the levels in you gradually hth
Awww Drazic - here's hoping something happens soon for you hun - how very frustrating!
Well, i'm gonna go carry on bouncing (must admit i'm quite enjoying it - if nothing else i'll have fabulously toned ass by the time Tufty arrives
) & take a peek at that ebay link xxx
LOL @ carley - i thought you didn't DO long posts
