The official cerazette missing period support thread!! *NAME CHANGE*

[hay246]

I didn't go Betty, mainly because I had read so much and didn't feel the need to have to go, if I'd have gone it would only have been for my boyfriend so that he could kind of be a little prepared but he'd have prob got bored so didn't in the end lol, he came to birth plan which she explained most stuff in anyway!
Altho I think my birth plan was pointless as mw asked all same questions when I got to hosp!

Anna how u get on??

Pink how are u?

Samir n honey
Nexis hope day doesn't drag and diddums fingers crossed!

 

[Honeybear1976]

Betty I did parentcraft first time round and thoroughly enjoyed it, didnt really find out much that I hadnt read up on myself which I do comprehensively bout everything that concerns our health lol, but enjoyed meeting other expectant mums
Anna saw your status too hope you are ok?

[betty14]

haha samie i didnt expect your would have.... kinda like teaching grandma to suck eggs eh!!

thanks hay and honey, i have been birthing partner for my sis twice (although both ended in c-section) and did the classes with her but that was 10 yrs ago, i know the fundamentals dont change but i know the thoughts on BF do lots so think it will be worth it, plus being our first baby i think it will do OH good to be fully warned about whats to come i have read lots too so think im pretty prepared
but our hospital has a night time entrance for ladies in labour so think i do have some things to learn...even if its not about actually giving birth!

im sure lo keeps shifting position, getting kicked on my right today.... and she rolls soooo much! just hope when she finally runs outta room in there its head down

Hey all,

Had the scan and everything is fine! Saw heartbeat and little hands wavin all over the place! Amazing. He said I am 12+1 which is exactly what I thought so due date is 24th oct. I have to have the GTT at 28 weeks as my BMI is now 32 :-/ They were really nice about it, can't believe yours was horrid to you Anna.

New York was fantastic but did sooo much walking I have blisters on my feet! Saw most things I wanted to see and the food was scrummy!!

So much going on I don't know where to start!!

Moomoo that's great you won that stuff! It's karma as you are such a positive person

Samie I saw your video on FB and Sophia is sooooo cute!!

Betty you sound like you have a wriggler! Hope she turns head down for you soon.

Kix nice to hear from you glad you are doing well.

Diddums that would be fantastic if you O'd!!

Nexis I hope your day goes fast tomorrow and you get the news you want.

Hope everyone else is ok!

Hi all x
I was supposed to have parent class but it got cancelled x
Ive got scan tomorrow and feeling a bit optimisitic , hoping baby isn't to big but scared I will told I need steroids and will be having baby soon. Im in work until 19th may buy really want to finish 6th which means I only have 4 weekends to work. I'm slowing down now and hips and back is killing me. Xxx

 

[hay246]

pink good luck tomorrow!

amelia thats great that u were spot on with dates!!

so ive been doing alot of thinking about when to go back to work... thinking to go back in july that will be 6mths off then, and ill stil have my holidays so i can book half days off etc to have extra time with little man. we are doing up our holiday cottage, so the extra money will be ideal, and i wanted to take him to nursery 1 day a week from 6 months, and my mum/boyfriend will have him the other days depending on boyfriends shift pattern.

what are the other mums plans on going bk to work??

x

 

[betty14]

Amelia that's fab news! Brill your dates are right too!!

Dont worry about the GLT I've had two now and it's fine, they will prob do it with your 28 wk routine bloods

Glad NY was fab, I have been a few times have loved it everytime!

Pink gl for tomorrow I'll keep all crossed that bubs is cooking at the right speed and he/she can stay put for a bit longer! Hope you can finish earlier so you can rest up as much as poss!

Hay I think you need to do what feels right for you, but your plan sounds good to me

Hope Anna is ok

X x x

 

[Samie18]

Glad the scan went well!
Hope everything goes ok tomorrow pink!

Hay I go back in 6 weeks =o(
So Sophia will be 7 months. I thought it would be fine going back but the closer its getting the sadder I'm getting, I'm afraid of missing things like her first crawl, word etcetc but I can't afford not to go back coz smp is too low it wouldn't even cover my mortgage so dunno who would pay the bills. As Chris is self employed it can take ages for his money to come in so we have no guarantees of other income hence needing mine.
I was planning on going back full time doing 12 hr shifts so I only worked 3 days a week but they decided to get rid of the 12 hrs so I think I'm gonna drop to 30 hrs a week so i'll only do 4 days.
Luckily as Chris works from home she will be with him. I have looked in to the nursery and It's £45 a day.... luckily I don't have to put her in full time as it would be near £1000 a month...not worth working!!!!
Anyhow I think when she's around one I'll put her in one day a week. I don't want her in full time this young as it sounds sad but I don't want her loving someone more than me because she would see them more!!

 

[annanouska]

hey everyone

gosh so much to catch up on im sorry that il end up missing somebody out! Nexis hope the tests are ok and fingers crossed diddums has OV. so nice to here the updates on baby aaron-very cute!

amelia has come to 12 weeks so fast- everyone elses pregnancy goes quick! betty made me laugh about the cats-that will be us! our boy loves LO he curls up on bump and can find him with his paw then gently taps tummy.

we have parentcraft booked for 32 weeks i think!

as im sure you all gahtered- had a horrible time today went on my own and needed to vent somewhere! had the fat people yesterday and ive put on 1.5 kg since feb so then were really pleased at me- i was too as ive ben bad

had my scan on another diff machine with another woman and she was just so nasty. i asked if she can check hes a boy 'il be lucky to see anythign through all your tissue'. and jsut a whole process of her saying how hard i am to scan. i did say that my top bit where baby is was never fat before so thats just baby / womb and she said well theres significant tissue there absorbing all the US. i just get told it was pointless as its so limited- yet the ribs, spine kidney and heart were so clear to me. i wasnt allowed a pic either!

i saw the consultant after and they do that weird graph thing. im between the lines for right growth but at the very bottom of it if that makes sense. i tried saying last time he grew at weird times but just got otld to wait for next one. got one at 32 and 36. first words out of her mouth- im dr +++ how is your weight. not how am i etc!!!! im just so fed up of being treated as a fat person rather than a pregnant lady it makes me mad. i got all upset after

btw my bp was perfect i feel so lost as the consultant doesnt say much MW has abandoned me until 34 weeks and i keep getting told about all the dangers of being fat and pregnant. the consultant said normally they guarantee to get baby out in 30 mins if in distress but cant guarantee that with me?? i dont know why?! they keep telling me about the bad things but dont say i need to be booked in for delivery so i have enough staff etc. i jsut feel like the fattest person ever to have a baby.

LO got mad at her anywya and kicked her off! was quite funny! i just want to enoy it and have a healthy baby but i feel they are making me so nervous i know im big but im fully operational- i work i cna exercise care for myself clean myself (yes i have been asked before!!!!!) decorate do chores etc. im honestly not a monster form the tv who is bed bound! xxxxx

sorry for the rant il be better tomorrow! xxxx

 

[annanouska]

ps hope pink is ok too and hte growth has settled

sammie didnt see your post until after. nursery is scary. we need the money for me to work and we have nobody to care for LO so will have to go to nursery but we will be working out if it is worth me working or not when the time comes x

 

[Samie18]

Sorry they spoke to you so bad!

I'll be honest with you, you will be treated like the biggest person ever in the world to ever have a baby but trust me your not!!!
Obstreticians really are bloody rude re BMI trust me i work with them lol. They really have issues with BMI buttttt they do kinda have a reason. Unfortunately research has shown high BMI ladies do have more chance of complications but just as many as those ladies with low BMI and those with Gest Diab and the list goes on and on and on!

The main issue is if by any slim chance you need a c section it will take longer to get to the baby as they go through the tissue in layers. So the skin through to the fat layer then muscle then uterus and waters then baby so the more fat the longer process. They also have to have staff to hold the tummy back if it is larger and there are other issues with anaesthetics and intubation for GA if they can't put the spinal in.
Then there is also issue with healing as the scar will be under the apron of fat so there is more likelyhood of infection but these are all the what if's.

Buttttttttt in my experience bigger ladies shoot the babies out (not literally hahahaha)
You will be fine and you will probably have a baby who is about 6lbs and comes in 2 hours and you will have no pain relief.
But if you do need any assistance that's what they are trained in and at the end of the day babies come out of vaginas if your fat or not and in some cases out of the sunroof!

Don't worry what other's say you will still be a wonderful mummy no matter how he get's here. And at the end of the day remember bigger people can't get pregnant in the first place and you proved them wrong lol

xx

 

[hay246]

Anna sorry to hear that! Agree with all what Samie says, love how u r so straight Samie but say it with such niceness an no ur not bein rude! Ther is a way of saying things to people and u defo have a gd way with words!

And re nursery it's £35 a day here I think! Will prob start 1 day a wk around 6 months ish. The thought of going back is making me sad but like u say smp is shocking!!
My friend just had her baby she has a yr full pay how depressing so jel!!
At least if I go back and use my hols wisely an have half days I can space them out a bit.
Handy that chris works from home tho

X

 

[Samie18]

Haha funny you say that Hay... i'm well know for just getting to the point and not beating around the bush so to speak lol
I just think you can fluffy coat everything but if something needs saying just say it but not in a nasty way. Honesty is the best policy over here! But i know just how she feels. My BMI is 34 and i was dreading going to deliver where i work because i didn't want it saying on the board
Jones G1 P0 39 +1 weeks IOL Raised BMI anaesthetic alert then at hand over them saying RAISED BMI as if i don't know i'm a fat cow it doesn't need advertising hahahaha i still ended up delivering where i work though =o)

 

[annanouska]

Thanks Samie- did make me feel better. I know there are risks and I know they have to tell me them but I just dont think you need to be an arse about it! Thing is....they are the doom police but if I bring something up regarding size and pregnancy / delivery I just get ignored!

The midwives have always been brilliant and my GP has been fine too even the weight management people just hte consultants! i come form a family of medics, drs and surgeons and my grandad hated consultants. He always used to come home (we were raised by him and my nan) and go on about how rude they are and how self opinionated they were yet never wanted to get their hands dirty or do anything! I dont dispute they work hard and have a job to do but the real work and care is always by the nurses/midwives I think. If my (many) trips to L and D have told me anything it is that I was treated witht he best care and kindness even by the 2 drs I saw there too so I think I will just do my best, listen to the consultant and just try as best as I can

I think its hard as I am a naturlly anxious person and do worry a lot and I think I just came away feeling if something bad happened it was my fault for being big! fingers crossed everthing will be fine-Little Bean is having a well deserved rest today-he didnt stop moving after the US yesterday and didnt even have his regular naps! xxx

 

[hay246]

Anna I'm sure u and little one wil be just fine!

Agree there Samie honesty is def best policy and I'm also known as one to say it how it is! Lol.

[Diddums]

Morning ladies. Second day of high temp for me. Hopefully high temp tomorrow morning confirming ov. Only bd three days before ov so doubt will get a bfp but glad I be able to start a new cycle. Any weekend plans? Hubby and I are just chilling as our Little furrbaby was neutered a couple days ago and isn't allowed much exercise xx

 

[Samie18]

Your Granada was sooooo right!! If you ever have any q's I'm here =o)

Are you using ov sticks diddums? Get on the bd now just incase!!_ fingers crossed.

Good luck today nexis
XX

 

[Diddums]

I was using them Samie but never got a positive because I was only using them once a day an I only caught it last cycle because I randomly decided to test again after a negative earlier on in the day.

We will bd tonight but will probably be too late if I ov two days ago! Hubby and I had very chesty coughs so weren't up to bd and ov kinda snuck up on me a I wasn't expecting I ov anymore this cycle lol.

And honesty is the best policy. But it's nice when someone phrases nicely and isn't rude. My bmi is ~40 (trying to lose weight but failing at the moment) and the nurses and dr I've seen have been very nice to me about it. They've said that it might impact my chances at conceiving as well as PCOS but that there are overweight woman getting pregnant everyday. Xxx

 

[Diddums]

Do you think the clear blue monitor is more accurate than IC opks? Might invest in one for next cycle xx

 

[Samie18]

I only ever used cheap ov test from ebay but the always worked. But people rave about the clear blue one so it must be good, i was just put off by the price!

Hopefully your egg started its journey yesterday and you might catch it!
