Sorry to crash your thread but just want to pop in to say 'hello' to my friends WTH and Meredith, I am just soo glad to see you two ploding along and over 22 weeks marks...WTH, already booked in for a cs date, wow, how time flies! I am sure not so much on your end... take care my friends and enjoy the rest of the pregnancy before bub arrives!
erybery - I'm fairly sure normal BP is about 120/60 or so, but I'm not sure what is more important, the top or bottom number. I'd say you are probably OK though, especially if your ob and midwife have not made mention of it being a problem. My ob has made quite a few comments about mine being low, especially seeing as I have had plenty of dizziness. High BP is the main worry though, but like I said I would think that they would tell you if it was a problem.
Chappas Ouch! Hope the uti clears up fast, they're not much fun at the best of times.
Smallfryplus Thanks hun Thooe hosps and obs are ridiculous aren't they, for wanting to be booked in before 6 weeks. What sorts of things are you looking for in a hosp?
WTH Yay! Glad your cervix is still long and hope you move on to low risk. So you have a birthday for bubba?! How exciting! And it's close to the Oct pub hol (isn't it?). How do you feel about going for a c/s? I've noticed that a lot of ladies on BB are disappointed by an emergency c/s, but personally the certainties of an elective c/s sounds kinda comforting to me. My cousin had 2 electives and no horror stories.
Lee Hey hun, how are you going? Hope you're feeling less and less green xo
AFM I am happy to say that I've had no spotting for a week. Hooray! And was able to go get the last of the BTs that go with the NT scan. Get my results in a week
Cuddlepie - you are no crasher - you're most welcome here. So sweet of you to think of Meredith and I . I have been stalking you from time to time on the other threads and can't wait until you are here permanently!
Pash - Thanks for the reassurance about having a CS. I feel okay about having one, especially if bubba is on time. Hip-hooray for no spotting this week and GL with the BT results.
Megsmum - hope you are having a better day today and putting your feet up
OK, finally some time for persies and not feeling so under the weather today, yay! I've felt a bit slack lately but it has just been more than I can handle trying to look at a computer screen let alone type something that makes sense!
WTH - For what its worth, and I know I've already said this but I think you are doing the right thing having the C/S if it feels like the best way to go for you. I know I'm hoping so much to have a better natural birth than I had last time, and TBH still feeling a little nervous about it, but that's what I feel is best for me KWIM? I must admit though the thought of an emergency C/S scares me a little, I don't want to be recovering from an attempt at natural birth as well as a C/S eek!
pash - Yay for no spotting for a week! GL with the NT results I know how you feel about the telling people, I must admit whenever I told someone I thought to myself oh no someone else to tell if things go wrong Glad to hear you bought a sling too, I've only had mine for a month or so, so you have done better than I did!
Smallfry - Hope the drs visit went well. I can't believe (well I can but you KWIM) you have to be booked in before 6 weeks I know my ob fills up pretty fast because he is good, but to have to book into hospital - fair dinkum, I didn't have to do that until 20 something weeks.
chappas - Sorry to hear you have a UTI Hope it clears up for you soon, they are no fun. GL with the 25 week visit!
Well I think that has covered everyone, I hope so anyway! Hi and hope you are well everyone else - Easha, erybery, Greenslw, Lee, Theresa, and anyone I have missed.
AFM, like I said above have been feeling a bit better yesterday and today. But yep taking it easy apart from a little bathroom clean this morning - have a prospective cleaning lady coming over tomorrow and don't want her to think we are total grots LOL I have a chiropractor appt shortly and it is bucketing down rain outside - yuck! - so then I'm going to come home and dye some wool to knit a little cloth nappy cover for bubby - looking forward to it too Have a nice day everyone!
pash/megsmum - the hospital is apparently one of the blueribbon ones in the area and gets booked out incredibly quickly. I didn't really find them all that friendly on the phone so have decided to go with a smaller one that has a really good reputation for their nursing staff. I guess what I'm looking for most is that as I had a very bad experience with the last hospital I gave birth at. The nurses were not even remotely concerned that 2 days after the birth I was still passing very large pieces of placenta after they had apparently confirmed the placenta came out in a single piece... hello!! We all know that can kill you if it stays in an rots!!! Two nurses just brushed me off and it wasn't until one of them saw me at the same time as my ob was around that she finally told him and he went pale and freaked out. So, yeah, going to a hospital one of my girlfriends had two babies at and she can't speak highly enough and I haven't been able to find anything particularly negative about it online either.
pash - can you feel the baby yet?
megsmum - isn't it funny how whenever a cleaner is organised, we have to clean before they arrive?! I so understand that concept! Don't think I know any women who are not like that!!
Megsmum That's exactly what I keep thinking! THat if something goes wrong now, I'll have so many people to tell. And I didn't BUY a sling, I only THOUGHT about buying one Actually, I'm thinking about making one. BTW I can't believe that you have the perfect excues for not cleaning the bathroom (dizziness, pg, paid cleaner coming) and you still did! Glad you've been feeling a bit better.
Smallfryplus Your last hosp sounds downright negligent and dangerous. Glad you've been able to find something with a cleaner reputation. I still can't feel bubba, and still 4 weeks till my next scan...
AFM Today, ppl at work, at lunch and at the pub after, were wanting to chat to me about my pg. All very normal, they were just trying to make conversation. But I just don't know how to be truthful and flippant as ppl expect. I can't tell them that I regularly freak out and still have trouble believing that there's a baby in there, and am more scared than anything else. I just lied and said what I've heard other pg ppl say, like how I miss sushi & red wine, when really, I don't miss anything. Nothing like that seems important, as long as monkey is healthy.
