Hey ladies.....its been a few days since I posted in here.
Aw limpetsmum that was a really crap you had!! OH is probably worried for and baby but yeah they really have no clue do they! So can you choose between hospitals or are you sticking with the one your at?
Lovely scan MRSJ!!!
Well I think I am now getting morning sickness. Every morning for the last 4 days I have woken up boaking and brought up bile. Then I am fine. I got tested twice by clinic midwife then my midwife for urine infections but there are none. Hoping its a stage and it will pass....or my urine shows an infection soon.
I asked my midwife about getting the bloods test for downs. She said matter of fact yeah we can do those up to 20 weeks plus a day....now no matter what ours come back we are keeping the baby but I do think if you get them done 20 weeks and you are at really high risk and have decided that you wouldnt continue with the pregnancy its a tad late really.....
But I am getting them done in 2 weeks. We just want to be prepared at our outcome really.
I am still waiting for my 20 week scan appointment to arrive but madly enough when I was in getting my glucose tolerance test done I went and booked my 22 week and attempted my 28 week scan but their diary didnt go up to June so it will be sent out in post so my 22 week scan is 30th April and the 28 week scan will be on 15th June at some point (they put it on a day when ou have clinic so it will be that day but who knows what time!) I then have another scan at 32 and 36 weeks....I am so so lucky!!
BUT I do have to do fasting glucose tests at 14 and then a horrible controlled glucose test at 28 weeks and continually give pee and blood samples.
Anyone else with diabetes or gestational diabetes?? I dont have it yet but because I did during last pregnancy I am told I will most likely have it again. Been doing my blood sugars and so far so good. Just need to see how my results from yesterday turn out
As for your OH mine during the 1st preg was so scared stiff it was unreal. Then he passed out at antenatal when we were talking about sections. I thought he was going to be the worst birth partner ever and considered bringing my mum too but decided against it in the end. He was so good but really worried for me. I must say the care we got in the triage unit in early labour was bad and we were left alone for hours at a time waiting for a midwife to check my blood pressure, a doctor to prescribe pain killers and he just couldnt understand why noone was with me helping me....after 2 hours waiting for pain relief I did send him out to find someone then I had a shout at them
but hey once I was in the labour ward I had a great midwife who was so good she was telling OH what to do for me as he was standing in the corner like a startled rabbit...and he never felt faint or passed out and even saw his head come out! So hoping this time round he will wipe my brow, fan me and give me water during contractions like last time now he has done it once!
As for being bored he wouldnt bloody dare....I would rip his bits off!!
Gosh I have written a whole book it seems here.
Anyways....erm think thats all oh limpetsmum I have no clue what I am putting in the enclosure yet since its my 1st proper one. I have wild seed mix and weed mix which I need to start growing but need to go on and find the edible plants list (I am on tortoise world and shelled warrrior) and get down the garden centre although i did see some nice pansy bedding plants at our garden centre for £3.50 so might get a few trays of them and plant them and bring them in once he has devoured the ones in his enclosure
Unfortunatley our weather is just not so warm that he can be out day and night but I bought a nice table which sits in the corner a year back as his other one was too small. I would love more but I almost bought one and then read into it more that males will fight really bad and need seperated and females will get pestered unless there are 3 or more per male and I just dont have the room!!
