Tildy, hope when I log on tomorrow you would've posted to say that Kebab kicked the hell out of you all night long. Come one Kebab, mummy needs some reassurance now. Beiron, tell your baby bub to be cooperative!
As for me AF came bursting in totally uninvited today. Beeyotch. My heart dropped a little bit when I saw it (at the work Christmas party no less!) but I'm already looking forward and working out which days I'll likely be jumping David's bones again. Heee.
I ended up going directly in to the gyn clinic's on-call doctor this morning, as my midwife told them to see me right away, and while I was there she called the birthing ward to tell them that they had ****ed up royally. She called me back later to tell me she got really angry with them and asked them "How can you be too busy to do your job?" and she told them that they too often forget that anyone past week 20 is their responsibility and turning me away because they were "busy" was the same as turning away a woman in week 40 and in the middle of giving birth because they were "busy". The reason I didn't just go there, btw, is that they even have a locked door, and if you go to give birth you ring this doorbell and they expect you to have called and been sort of like "invited" first; they do all this to try to prevent people from coming in until they really are ready, but it sucks.
I had used my doppler and found a heartbeat, but the midwife said that lack of movement is a cause for concern even when there is a heartbeat, because lack of movement can signal a fixable problem days before it affects the heartbeat. But they also said that it's not strange for me to feel less movement right now, but that she still had wanted me to be better safe than sorry.
The gyn said that Kebab had turned around and swam toward my back and decided to stay there for a while, so on the scan he saw that Kebab was kicking constantly, just that I can't feel it because all the kicks are going out in the water or towards my spine. This is why the sugar and the poking and everything didn't help. During the scan Kebab sort of flipped around and suddenly I felt a kick that made me jump and go "Ooh!" Today Kebab is giving me no rest, and now that I've finished up my damn software release, I am SOOO on the way home to start the weekend with a very long nap. I am so very very sick of sleeping only 3-4 hours a night, and this didn't help!
Tildy, I am glad to hear that your scan went well. You had me worried about you and Kebab. I am so sorry that you are going to have to deliver at a place like that.
Lan, I am sorry to hear that AF arrived. Next month is going to be a busy one in here. I feel like there is going to be another big wave of BFPs.
So, my ultrasound and appt. went well. The baby is still about 1 week ahead so the doctor told me that he wanted to move my due date up! Yay I gained a week. He also gave me a hard time about having another ultrasound in 2 weeks. He said that I can come in to see him as often as I like but he doesn't need me to get all concerned about another ultrasound. It doesn't really make sense to me, I am going to be crazy waiting 4 weeks for the next ultrasound. Even more so because it is the ultrasound that has always given us bad news. He said after that one I can have as many as I like.
Hammi: sorry for AF. will keep fingers crossed for this month!
Tildy: I'm so happy it worked out for you. Very relieved.
MrsRobbo: sending cyberhug. It is very hard to cope with other peoples' pregnancies at a time like this, even though you're also happy for them.
cindee: best of luck!!
Laney: congrats on your u/s
afm: my scan went okay, fs saw the amniotic sac, but not the yolk sac (at least she wasn't sure if she saw the yolk sac or not) but she said I'm kind of early to see the yolk sac. Unfortunately, my hcg, although it's climbing, isn't climbing as fast as they would hope. so I have to go back on tuesday for another scan and more bloods. my fs says they need to monitor it, but sometimes it starts slow and then bounces up. One can only hope...

Tidly, so glad everything has worked out ok. It sounds like you will be giving birth in hell itself! I guess as long as you get a good end result it will be worth putting up with!
Lan, BUGGER.... what a lier you've made of me! I'm kind of glad though, now you'll be going with me next month!
now i'm getting pestered by DS, this is too frustrating... gonna run, will come back later when I can get some peace and me time
Oh fantastic news about Kebab. I didn't think there was that much room in the uterus at 23wks for the bub to swim out of range but there you go! Has s/he decided to move back to your front yet Tildy?
Laney, what a great scan result. When they say that you're measuring ahead, does that mean that you got your cycle dates wrong or does that mean that the baby is just big and therefore not expected to have the full 40wk gestation? Either way, yee ha to getting that bub safely in your arms one week sooner! When is the scary scan for you?
Paula, has your AF started yet for Dec? I'm on CD4 now. I must say that my AF has shortened a lot since all my naturopathy etc. so action mania starts soon. I've decided that if I don't get pregnant this cycle I'm going to have a massive sulk. My zen calmness will only work for one or two cycles.
What about you, Jo? Back to twice a day yet? Hee hee. How was your work Christmas party? Were you all hot :-)
Who else... Sue, not long till your big morph scan. I've forgotten, are you going to find out the gender?
How's your stitch Helen? Is is feeling any better? Can you feel?
Hi Cindee, good to hear from you and to hear that you had a good scan. Merry Christmas to you and your extending family :-)
Tempus, I hope the blood work tomorrow shows the HCG zooming up. Good on you for putting up your ticker. I love watching them.
Hey Rozzie, what is it like to be past 22 weeks? Does the pregnancy feel different now? Do you feel any more confident?
