Work seems to be taking up a lot of my time too. God knows how they are going to keep going when I'm on maternity leave, haha!
I had my 24 week midwife appointment today, all was well and I got my flu jab, but I was surprised that she weighed me and then told me I'm only supposed to gain a total of 7-11kg (I assume that's for the whole pregnancy, not just to 24 weeks) as my bmi (stupid, flawed system!) was 29 to begin with. I've already gained 8kg (but they weighed me with boots on and I was busting for a wee cos they were running late) so I guess I'm going to have to be really careful for the next 16 weeks or so! I was surprised though, as I thought they didn't bother with weighing you or commenting on weight gain any more, and nobody had mentioned it before, so I was working from the generic advice that women should gain between 25 and 35 pounds during pregnancy. I thought my weight gain was ok and now I feel like a right heffer who needs her jaws wired shut!
Have any of you had this?

Nope we can work whatever shifts it's just down on x amount of hours regardless of when over a year to keep your registration.
We have been really busy lots of little babies =o)

Can't say we weigh our women unless their bmi is over 35 then the anaesthetic referral goes in and dietician referral.
Just sensible eating is promoted rather than worrying about weight gain...
 
Pinky I really wouldn't worry my BMI was 30 when I was weighed at the beginning and I had to have a growth scan at 34 weeks and see the consultant... If they had taken my pre preg weight its would of been 29 and i wouldnt have needed the scan or consultant :wacko: its ridiculous and.......I only gained 10 kg my whole pregnancy!!

I just think its ridiculous that they are making women worry about their weight so much, I could understand it if your BMI was mega high but 29 really isn't!! Just eat when your hungry and what you fancy and don't worry!

Samie seems silly that they don't spread your nights out in that case... Will you easily be able to change your shifts?

Hi all. Had my first mw appt on Tuesday. Was in there for an hour. Couldn't believe how much paperwork I walked away with. My BMI is 24. I have been put down as high risk due to anaemia so am off in a few weeks for blood tests and doing urine at the same time so all Is done before my next injection is due. She has put down that I am off to see the consultant 11th dec but hoping they send me a letter as I don't know who or where.
 
Glad it went well Sara, dont know why the pernicious anaemia makes you high risk? You will get a letter telling you bout the appt should have consultants name on and if you need to do anything before you go, eg full bladder etc :flower:
 
Sara glad it went well, you should receive the hospital appointment through the post :thumbup:

Did she give you an edd or is she waiting for scan?

X x x
 
They have said 8th June for now but all will be told when I have scan on 26th November
 
Aww another June baby :) also the day before my mums birthday :)

I bet you can't wait for the scan :) it really is the most amazing moment when the little person appears on the screen!

For those of you who have had the flu jab, how long did your arms hurt afterwards? I had mine Wednesday afternoon and I can't believe how much my arm still aches. I'm not sleeping well because I can't sleep on my left side as it hurts too much. There's a swollen pink lump around where I was injected, I'm starting to wonder if I'm having a bad reaction to it or just being a wimp.
Baby is fine and happy though, kicking away like a cancan dancer!

Pinky I have never been weighed, even at booking in she just asked me and took my word for it. My BMI was 30 which just meant I had to have the gestational diabetes test at 28 weeks I think it was. I wouldn't worry, don't restrict what you eat, if you're hungry then have it!
I had my flu jab on wednesday too and my arm still hurts!

I'm worried I'm drinking too much cherryade!! It's sugar free but full of colourings, my baby will turn out pink at this rate!!!!
 
ha amelia!! Pink Baby! I was obsessed with jacket potato with cheese and beans then went through an ice lolly phase, he is not a spud or a lolly thankfully! He gets called Heinz now and then as I was in labour 57 hours!

All his swim things have arrived now so I will be taking him soon :happydance: think he will look like a real fattie in his suit as he has boots swim nappy then a happy nappy plus ive got him a special ecezma suit to put on top once he has his barrier cream on :haha: its cool though jus tlooks like a long arm and leg swimsuit but it doesnt absorb the cream from his skin :thumbup:

Been to in laws tonight-was ok actually! as soon as we got there MIL said ohhh give him here and held out arms, I said just a min let him have a look round first so i walked him round a bit then gave him to her. after an hour or so I said ohhhh shal we show nan and grandad your yoga moves so took him on the floor then gave him back. kind of made me feel more in control.

Sara the early scans are cool :happydance: Poor marcus was scanned a million times! xxx
 
I am hoping to see something myself even though I keep telling OH not to expect too much. If I had my way I would scan everyday just to have a little look x
 
Anna I've had the jacket potato obsession, I'm so glad I won't give birth to a spud!
Sara scans are amazing, I was shaking after our first one. It makes it all feel real.
My arm is still hurting, but the pain is lessening so I'm hoping to get more sleep tonight. It's so reassuring to know some of you had the same reaction.
Went shopping again today, finally got a maternity coat! And of course, more maternity bras...
Xx
