Megan- Hope the GD can be controlled hun. Wish you all the best with it. One more thing fo ryou to think about but absolutely no reason for you to think you can 't have a normal pg, birth weight etc. Don't let them make you feel that it is out of your control. You can do it hun and your baby will be beautiful. Take care of yourself and you will be safe. What a git of a Dr to scare you so much. It has so much to do with HOW they talk to you!! I had a bla appointment today too..could have shot him.
MelBel- Hope the HCG is just taking a breather and you have a good surge soon. I am sure you will be ok hun. Wouldn't it be nice if we all hit the 'normal range' for once!! Good luck hun.
LNB- Hope it is nothing to worry about hun...to make you smile- Don't chaff yourself! LOL Many women Bleed full on and stil go on to have wonderful pg. My SIL did too. It is just a shame as it gets you so stressed. Easy sailing for LNB please...that is an order!
AFM- Had a horrid afternoon at the DR. He refused point blank to refer me to a scan or blood tests on the NHS. It really upset me. It seemed my case was not reason enough for him. He had to nerve to say 'if it is not meant to be, it is not meant to be and nature will take it's course'. God i was beside myself. I can't afford to have it done privately and i am feeling really irresponsible not being able to be proactive. If this pregnancy (the beginning of) was risk free....then i would have been pregnant years and years ago. What an insensitive approach to someone who has been trying for 10 years to have a baby. People have ART to sustain a pregnancy and i don't even have the choice to have a natural progesterone if i need it.
I am NOT ALLOWED to have a scan before 12 weeks. So it will be a very long and axious wait for us. He said unless i am in pain or bleeding, he can't help me. So much for preventative care. I was fuming...your Dr is supposed to have you best interests at heart. I was not being rediculus and he treated me like a neurotic pg woman over reacting. Anyway, i will just have to look after myself from now on...i am not going back to him. The pain of it is in the Uk you can't choose your DR....so changing is a huge deal. Oh god, we are hopeful and leaving it in natures hands. He also said to take folic acid...doh...but then made me laugh by saying...IF YOU WANT, you could take a multi vitamin...Thanks for that mate. He has no idea what kind of nutrition i am getting and for all he knows i could be under nourished. What kind of advice is that??? Luckily i have been doing this for years...anyway he took my blood pressure...that is it. No abdominal touch, no temp, no pulse, no Pee in a cup....Am I expecting too much. Nothing to even confirm the pregnancy.
Ok I am mad again now so i better go. There is no point getting myself stressed over this...i just risk my baby...for that idiot, i don't think so!!
Love to you all and up the bum of DRs over here!!
Hm oxoxox
