Thanks for the support ladies

just to update you (& annoy me evewn more) i checked my blood results myself at work the following day (oh yee of little faith that i am lol) only to find i have a low Hb making me anaemic

and they didn't think this was worth bringing to my attention

god forbid even treating! I've had it with them, i went out & bought some pregnacare & i'll ask one of the docs i work with ro re-check my bloods in a few weeks time & take it from there. I ranted to the girls at work & we decided they can all do a better job put together than the doctors actually trained for it! At least i feel better knowing why i am so tried & feel weak after the smallest things.
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?
Yeah my midwife asked me when i had my initial appointment what hospital i'd like, other than that, if they get funny - it'll be whatever hospital i turn up at in labour
As for your OH mine during the 1st preg was so scared stiff it was unreal.
My concern is he seems to think he can cope without medical intervention & will tell anyone who tries to mess with me (i.e examine me) to bugger off or worse

. When i was admitted after our honeymoon he refused to leave me at night & they called security......he didn't leave me for 3 nights before a nurse finally managed to befriend him & gently persuaded him to go home to wash & change
elmaxie - what are they cymptoms of gestational diabetes hun? I'm drinking like a fish & don't seem able to quench my thirst. I know this is a symptom of normal diabetes. Although i'm able to eat chocolate without putting myself in a coma so that's a good start lol.
I want a boy - but i dont have any vibes or anything.... i always wanted a girl first until i fell pregnant now i want to have a boy - its funny how things can change at a moments notice....
How strange cos i'm the opposite. I always wanted a boy 1st beacuse i had such an excellent big brother & all my friends with big sisters had a horrible time with them lol. Since being pregnant i would prefer a girl......mainly cos i don't want to have to go through another pregnancy & if it's a boy i know i'll try again for a little girly.
Aww hun - hugs for your huge ass sweetie
Well i've spent most of my days trying to get through a full working week, i'm feeling very tired & emotional. Other than that all pregnancy symptoms have gone which i don't like

. I keep checking with the doppler & he's still there, i heard him take a swipe or a kick the other day which was awesome!!! He hates the doppler heehee. I'm also getting prodding pains when i have a full bladder - might this be bubba? The pains are like someone poking me from inside & they wake me at between 3-4am every morning to go wee!
My tummy is getting harder - i noticed some definite bump outlines this morning, still waiting for my nipples to darken & for my line to appear though!
We're not wanting to find out what were having & are quite scared they might let it slip (or we might accidently see) at our 20 week scan as this would really upset us. We've been discussing names today, we already have our boy name & have rolled out s few ideas for girls........but we both think it'll be a boy anyway so were not too worried.
I'm sitting in the nursery (still pc room till bubba arrives) sorting out what clothes etc i've picked up so far into sizes, gonna box them up in groups so i'm a bit more organised & hoepfully won't 'forget' to use anything

I have DH parents coming for lunch tomorrow, already prepared it all though as i need a lie in (was up early today having new front windows & door fitted

).
Well, i'd better get back to sorting else i'll never get to my lovely adorable bed. Hope your all well & blossoming?
Brownsie how are you doing my lovely?
Take care all xxx
