Megsmum - glad your Ob appointment went well. Like you, I have low BP - has ranged between 95/55 - 105/55 during this PG. It definitely can make you light-headed. Glad you are going to take it easy
Meredith - Hello plodder Doing the same and YES! Definitely getting fatter by the minute. I have put on more than 6.5kgs since 10 weeks. Loving showing off my big mama belly in public, though I am finding the maternity fashion a bit daggy (and the Winter wear cold - everything seems to be 3/4 sleeves). DD STILL doesn't know. She has attended every appointment, including the fortnightly US. I guess because she went to so many in the past and they did not amount to anything, she has no expectations (we did not tell her about the other PG's either). She definitely has noticed my belly, but has not put 2+2 together.
Smallfryplus - WOOO HOOO! So glad you are joining us
Greenslw - Great news about the US - and the bonus of being ahead a week. So
Chappas - can't help you with the VBAC - looks like I will be having my first CS! Sorry about the UTI - they can be really painful. Hope the antibiotics have kicked in quickly for you.
Erybery - me too on the weeing. I must have gone 5 times last night (that's gotta be a record). My li'l one must be tapdancing on my bladder, too!
Pash - I can understand how telling your workmates was a bit of a mixed blessing. Exciting, but at the same time, maybe making you feel a little vulnerable. I have felt the same way about sharing my news. I will let you know the kicks make all the difference. I am no longer using my doppler daily. Hope you feel your bubba soon
to Theresa, Hannah, Lee, Easha - hope I have not missed anyone!
AFM - Had a busy week. US last Tuesday to check my cervix - continues to measure the same. Saw my Ob on Friday and he said if it continued to measure the same at the next two US (twice a month), that he would be satisfied the cervix would be classified as low risk. for that outcome. He also confirmed it would be in my best interest to have an elective CS, due to previous 3rd and 4th degree tearing from the forceps delivery of DD. He does not want to risk the very likely chance I would tear again. So I am booked in at 39+3 days... October 13th. Don't much like the number 13, but what can you do ? Then today I had my pre-admission interview with the private hospy. The nurse was great and I am feeling a little reassured I might have a more enjoyable birthing experience this time round.
