Hi crumpet, sorry have so much going on in my head at the moment. Ive noticed you had a bit of difficulty breathing hun, please dont leave it next time hun, keep an eye on it and see your Dr if it happens again. ok. I think all this worrying about bub maybe playing with my BSL's as they have been playing up a bit, yet I cant blame the entire thing on the stress lol. I am so hoping I can steer clear of the insulin, but just not sure I will be able, especially with some of the readings. I feel like i am failing this bub.

BF - I hope you are ok and resting up hun. Sorry that you have been having a rough time of it. hugs

Hi guys, just stopping in briefly.

We have internet again! Our internet was finally connected on monday, though we spent the next 2 days without it due to a mixture of an installation fault and the high winds we had.

So I should be back on more often, or at least as often as this pregnancy allows me to get on lol

Beema - HUGE CONGRATS DARL! You made it so far, I'm soooo proud of you Well done!

csab - I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you that things start to improve! And that they don't get any worse!!!

Crumpet - thinking of you!

afm - I had a bleed on wednesday last week - woke up with approx 2tspn's of bright red blood accompanied by regular cramping, so rushed to hospy and had to wait 6 hours before I was seen. Finally got in to have a scan and bub was doing ok, thank god! Even put it's fingers in it's mouth for us just to let us know everything was going good.
No sign of where the bleed came from - as it was with the spotting I'd had previously - but we had been to the Melbourne Show the day before and I'd overdone it a bit with the walking and we didn't get home until after midnight as the V-Line trains weren't running from Flinders St, so the stress of waiting for a bus to take us to Pakenham so we could get on the train there and then having to wait 45mins for the train to leave Pakenham probably contributed as well.

Everything is good now - on couch rest until the 6th when I see the midwife again (I was in emergency when I was supposed to be having my first midwife appointment, and luckily the midwife was able to come down to emergency to see me so we got all the basic stuff done, just have to do some other paperwork now and book into the hospital).

So I'm just crampy and achy and have a pinched nerve in my back that is making it hard to sleep, just taking panadol as often as I'm allowed as that seems to help a little bit.
Anyway, I must go as I'm exhausted and need to get some sleep.

Hope you're all doing ok!

Crumpet - Hope everything is well with you and no more difficulty in breathing episodes. Yay for the 27wks hun. hugs

Jenna - Thankyou hun, I hope everything has settled with the bleeding. Keep up that bedrest. hugs

Well just another update from me, need to go and prepare dinner for everyone. I feel totally exhausted. Have been at the hospital every week lately and now need to go again tomorrow.
Now for the reason for tomorrows hospital visit. I have now been told that I need to go on insulin. So double yippee for me. I was sort of expecting it as my BSL levels havent been all that great. So now i have to have insulin twice a day at lunch and dinner times. So tomorrows visit is to get shown how to give myself the insulin. I feel sick to the stomach, I am so not looking forward to this, I am really worried about it being painful, even though they say it doesnt hurt, yet it is the thought.

Csab, it honestly doesnt hurt!!! make sure u get the purple BD needle heads, theyre the smallest one, 5mm, anything over that hurts me, there a spot about 5cm to left and right of ur belly button that it never hurts, anything other than that does tend to sting a bit.
Finger p!ck!ng hurts more TBH.
Hope that eases ur fears a little bit
