Thinking of you Miss Magpie!!!

Harry High Pants... ahem I mean Smithy : I agree with MelBel, a one off test doesn't really give an accurate idea, I reckon go for the week's testing. Can you hire those monitors? Aren't the GD tests just grand? I had to have them done for IVF & they had to do it twice cause first time the bozos forgot to record my insulin levels

lilmisshaveachat: Hope your appointment with the birth centre went well. And I agree, some pampering is well overdue! First on my list of people to call this afternoon is my friend (who is a masseuse) for a well-overdue preggy massage! How did you go on the cup yesterday?

Grub: How you hanging in there hun?

KellyD: Tara is gorgeous! And doesn't she look just like her daddy!

Neptune: Adam is such a cutie too! How are you settling in?

Bella: Feeling for you hun, one is hard enough but two... wow you really are a superwoman!


AFM: No wins on the cup but then I never gamble anyway. Wasn't even going to watch the race but DH came home early and switched the TV over.

Had a bit of a scare today. As you know I've been having some troubles and been pretty stressed out lately. And Cookie wasn't kicking the same way as normal. Well since Monday night I have had absolutely no kicks at all. I was trying not to worry about it and gave myself a couple of days, but then early this morning I started getting excruciating cramping pains and it really freaked me out. So I rang my Ob's office and just my luck, she is on leave. So they gave me the number of the other Ob who is covering her and he said to get my butt up to the hospital IMMEDIATELY (yep he actually said that!). It's about a 35/40min drive and was just horrible. So I got in there and they checked me over & then hooked me up to a monitor and checked little cookie out. Everything is ok with baby, although my heart rate and my blood pressure are up a little. They then asked me if something was going on to cause this and I briefly explained and was given strict orders to avoid the people and situations causing me stress becasue I may not be so lucky next time! They wanted to book a follow up in a couple of weeks but I told them I have my next scan & Ob checkup in 2 weeks anyway so they left it at that and wrote it up on my record for my Ob when she gets back. Pheeeeew just glad all is ok and it's all over!

And the replacement obstetrician has now called me back twice more this afternoon just to check that I am still ok and not having any further complications.

After all of this I must say everyone I dealt with today has just been wonderful, and it really reassures me that I've picked the right care!

On the way home I stopped off and picked myself up a doppler, so that in future I can get quicker reassurance. It will be great for DH too, he's seen the heartbeat on the screen at my 7 & 12wk scans but has never heard it (they only turned the volume up at the 10 & 14wks and he wasn't there for those)

Anyway hope you all have a good night, I'm off to fuse my behind to the lounge, OJ in hand and knock over a few more episodes of season 7 BH90210! (Yes, sad I know!)

Oh and PS: Now that Murph is more than likely a Mummy I've offered to take over the due dates list. To our lovely new ladies: If you could please post or PM me your due dates, any nicknames your little bub has and whether or not you will be finding out the sex and I'll add you to the list. Anyone who needs changes done please also do the same.

PPS: Anyone else having trouble with their tickers? Mine seems to have somehow lost a couple of days... did that once before but then righted itself... hmmmm
