I haven't been on for a bit, been trying to steer clear of the forums for a while and concentrate on me and bub and relaxing and trying not to go reading into things.
I've had a lot of family issues going on lately - my dad and stepmum are separating, which I know it's their lives and everything, but I really need my family to be whole and together and supporting me right now and I'm not getting any of that at all. I basically have no support people around me at all apart from hubby when he's home and occasionally my bestie when she's not dealing with her issues involving the recent breakup of her very serious "had-been-talking-about-marriage-and-kids-just-the-month-before" relationship.
So anyway, firstly, a belated thank you to you all for the congrats on my bub being a girl I'm still over the moon about it and have so many clothes on layby now lol
Secondly, I have been feeling a bit out of place in here. I feel like my issues aren't anywhere near as bad as you guys have it right now, makes me feel like I don't really deserve to be in here ifykwim.
And thirdly, saw my OB for the first time today, which was intreresting and he seems really nice and everything but was in a real hurry and didn't really answer any of my questions and just brought up more.
Found out my fundal height is measuring at 28 weeks... which for me is really odd as my fundal height with DS only ever measured 3 weeks ahead at one time late in the pregnancy and I was sent for a scan to check out the fluid levels right away, and this time the OB hasn't even batted an eyelid about it.
To add to that I'm feeling a bit out of sorts, very light headed and slightly dizzy even when sitting down, lots of headaches, but my BP is apparently normal (it's normally around 110-115/80, but today it was 120/60, all after walking to the bus stop, waiting for and sitting on the bus for 30 minutes, a 10 minute walk to the consulting rooms while pushing a pram and then a 45 minute wait to see the OB where I had to get up and bend down repeatedly to pick up DS's toys and dummy).
I'm thinking of calling the maternity ward tonight, just to ask them about it as I've been getting painful BH's almost constantly again over the past 4 days as well...
I just wish things could be uncomplicated for a change so that I can completely relax and not have to worry about things.
Hope you're all doing ok, sending lots of sticky vibes out to you all and I'm praying that those bub's of yours will stay put for a while longer!
