Reet - most defs on the raspberry leaf tea! I am SO over the stuff! I have run out and was meant to get some on the way home from the hospy today, but it was raining, and I was a bit meh, so will see if DH can do it on his way home from work.
dory - I have copped that about soy milk too! Actually more so about being vegan - my mum and a couple of other nasty friends have blamed the molar pregnancy on my vegan diet. It IS linked to a low protein diet, but the kind of low protein diet where you're subsisting on rice, developing nation style. But nobody wants to hear that, they want to blame. Of course nobody has questioned DH's immune-suppressant medication - it had to be MY fault somehow. Oddly, his family have never suggested that, only mine.
Tegam - I understand you putting your vent in your buddies thread. I had a really awesome buddies thread like that. I say had because once mummyof4's little guy is out (today, so he's probably already here) I am the only one left! And I don't know if this is valid, I don't want to bring anyone down, but sometimes I do like to bring a different perspective to people who maybe don't see things like us. Like for me, people loved to tell me how great it was that my hCG levels were high - but after a molar, that's actually not very reassuring at all.
forshelby - thanks for the lols! You probably didn't mean to be funny, but being a hit with the kiddies - ! Your scan will be fun - it's a chance to have a sneaky peek at that little cutie you're brewing, and they really are lovely up at the hospy. You'll hardly have to deal with Brisbane - the Mater is so close to the freeway exit, and I think the parking's not too bad, but it is exxy.
angel - this baby was 5 pounds 5 (whatever that is - I do metric!) at 33 weeks, if that helps.
stoked - good luck with your betas! Fingers crossed for you!
OK, my morning! Went up to the hospy, everyone kept saying I was "overdue" which kind of annoyed me, but most stuff annoys me at the moment! Anyway, my regular midwife wasn't there, so that kind of threw me, but the one I saw was very lovely and happy to go with what I want. I guess it was kind of hard for her, not really knowing me, and trying to gauge what I would want. So I am going in on Monday for another checkup, then Wednesday night I have an induction booked, if baby doesn't make an entrance by then. And she did a S & S today, see what that does.
How awesome is this rain? (since there's so many Qldrs!)
ferrals - hope your headache settles down. I have heeeeeaps of hot chocolate here, would love to share!
