The Collective: First Trimester and Beyond!

[TexMel]

That is vey odd, catmummy! Do you or anyone you know have a Doppler you could use at home? I am sure if something was wrong, they would have had to tell you while you were in the hospital. I'm very sorry to hear that this is causing you stress. Im sure you'll feel the flutters again soon!

*Hugs CatMummy* I think your midwife should have the training to handle your concerns more tactfully. Try and relax and don't worry too much (Your bub feels everything you do!) I know i feel my bean pretty regularly, but i did have a couple days of nothing and i know how that worried me. Don't stress out though- bub might just be being lazy or you just might not feel them moving- we're still pretty early on and mine has to be super excited before I feel them (Normally after food/drink or sometimes when it's time for bed and they decide to remind me... though taking a dip in my pool got a reaction too lol)

I've been to Kay just some sciatica nerve pain and the loss of my grandmother recently 😩 but baby is fine and growing.

 

[TexMel]

So sorry about your grandma, trying4babyboy! My grandma has been in the hospital lately and I know it is not easy going through that. I can't imagine if I lost her at this time. Hugs to you!

*Hugs Tex* I know this can be stressful, but you guys will be okay.

Hey Cat, I'm doing fine, although I've been having bouts of morning sickness once again, and my LO thinks headbutting my cervix and kicking my ribs is the coolest thing in the world. We're not experiencing complications from the Factor V, no Gestational diabetes (I messed up my one hour @ 28 weeks by forgetting there was a fasting time and failed it by 5 points so I had to take the 3 hour. I passed it, and then my overly efficient body decided it was going to keep processing the glucose before I could get to my lunch/snack so I ended up passing out.... My husband found me on his bosses office floor (I got to sit in there to wait out my time in between draws instead of the waiting room because her chair was way more comfortable then the chairs in the waiting room and he was working- that man hasn't let anyone else draw my blood the entire pregnancy. After my last draw I went in there to pack up my laptop and other things so I could go and I took too long appererntly) and then he fed me this nasty glucose paste, and then treated me to his lunch before feeding me a HUGE dinner.
According to my last Dr. visit my little minion is head down (He had been at my 23 week ultrasound too), so that's good-if the minion doesn't decide to flip. I have another ultrasound October 1st, and then another November 1st. Aaaand I think that Catches me up.

How are you doing?

*Hugs* Keep your strength up Momma, I'll keep you and your little one in my thoughts, and I'll want updates. The exhaustion part I understand from the point that for the longest time we couldn't keep my Iron up so I felt like I always needed to sleep no matter how much I actually did, and that was scary as hell. I don't know the cause of yours, but I'll be on a lot more often so feel free t chat with me whenever.
