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.
Sorry, but a quick one from me, as I have a class shortly.
Pash - great to see you so far along now.......... the chances of anything untoward happening now are very slim........... try not to go there too much. I'm so glad your bleeding has stopped - you must have popped out by now?
Megsmum - not long for you!! Yah on the cleaner - I'm dying for a housegirl or five!! The only way that can happen is a move to a 3rd worly country! Meantime, I'm chief cook etc etc etc etc!!!
Hi to everyone else!!
I'm starting to feel anxious - have not got my blood results back to get combined nt result. They said it takes a week - and it's a week today. So, I know technically it's not 'overdue' - it's just last time with Remy it took less time, and the time before that, my Ob said he put off calling me for a day or so.....arrrgghhh..... maybe I should just call myself. I hate how your mind goes off wandering into dangerous thoughts.....
Will keep you posted anyway! Good news is my nausea has eased right up, still dog tired, but managaeable!
Lee xo
Update - just called - results are not back yet ..... hate waiting.....
Pash - I know what you mean when people ask you about your pregnancy, you want to have the innocence and excitement but people just don't understand. When I've mentioned how stressed I am with this preg after losing my last people get all weird and make comments like "oh but this one is meant to be, the other one wasn't meant to be!" As if, I miss my angel as much as I'd miss this one, even though I was only pregnant for a short time last time! Big Hugs.
Lee - I hate the wait to. I had to wait for CVS results after being told at 9 weeks my baby had too much nuchal fluid and that they thought it was going to die, I didnt even have to have the blood test to combine with a scan to get my risk, so I know how your feeling hun, hopefully not long now!!!
Smallfry - LOL its crazy cleaning before a cleaning lady arrives I know! But I can't help myself!
pash - I know how hard it is acting like you are having a "normal" pregnancy - there's no such thing for us anymore is there? I wish there were something I could say to help, but you have done so well to get this far. Just keep reminding yourself that this bub will be the one you take home, think positive!
Lee - GL with the results, makes me glad I didn't have the bloods done - I hate the waiting around too DH actually promised me a cleaner for after our second bub when we started to TTC 2 and a half years ago (how naive we were back then!) and I'm planning on holding him to it There's always stuff I'll still have to do, but at least she can take care of bathrooms and dusting and things that I always put off doing LOL
Did a big post yesterday but didn't go through agggh!
Lee - I hope those results come in soon. Surely your OB would know to call you ASAP this time around
Pash - hugs to you darl. I know exactly how you feel. Even though I'm more than halfway, have a huge belly and a fairly active bubba... I still can't get my head around there being a possible child in there. Talking to paople who don't know the "full story" can be so uncomfortable. Sometimes I just say that the pregnancy has been quite complicated so that people kind of stop asking much more
megsmum - glad you are feeling a touch better. At least you can now manage your dizziness, knowing its just BP issues
WTH - Glad all going well at your end and that your cervix is behaving. The whole c/s issure really comes down to what is best for you and baby and what you feel comfortable with. At least you have a birthday picked planned.
Can't believe your DD is still in the dark! You must be very good at avoidance talk. My DS knows full well what an u/s shows and what hides inside big bellies!
AFM - just feeling like a sad sack lately. Baby is active and conractions seem to be mostly under control ( at least this week) but I'm still not overjoyed. Its hard right now because I'm so close to her being "viable" if born but still not there quite yet. All the side effects from meds are gtting to me too.
I seriously have barely any hair left ... people must think I'm having chemo. Plus the worst acne ever. I don't even want to show my face in public
Today finally saw a pg physio for help with my failing pelvic floor and all the pains etc. Seems most is reffered from a stuffed lower back but i also tested positive for pelvic instability. So am now wearing a support band and supposed to be icing all my bits. Darn body is just falling apart!!
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.
