Hi I had a little bump but I think it was more a combo of fluid, water retention and wind. However, some people do start showing really early - see if you can find a pic posted by Nicki (probably a few threads ago). She was only about 12 weeks but looked a lot further along.
Anything's possible with pg as I am finding each and every day!

Going to have a big old moan now... Feel free to skip ahead...

Firstly... Last week Aimee's paediatrician asked me to submit another water sample for hospital testing to make sure her infection was all cleared up... The only sample bottle I had was my midwife one so I used it, took it to the Drs surgery and explained to the receptionist it needed to go into an red msu bottle and be sent to the hospital... Filled out a little bit of paper to go with it any everything... Not that I don't trust the Drs receptionists or anything.. But I double checked while I was there today... Surprise surprise... The nurse tested it herself and didn't send it off... I told them it was requested by the Paediatrician and he'd specifically asked for it to be sent in... Their excuse... 'Well it wasn't in a red lid bottle' :mad: Now have to do it all again tomorrow and get another one sent off...

Now onto the midwife... Before I'd even sat down, she got my name wrong then made a big deal about correcting it 'as she'd been told yesterday' then she started banging on about my measurements and what were 'we' going to do if it was still measuring big... then she measured me before she did anything else... Oh look... I've grown 5cm in 2 weeks... Now I'm measuring 44cm (36w should be 36cm) I can't see it myself... But could hardly lie there going 'I don't believe you, measure again' could I... She gets a handy colleague to join us and discuss what she thought would be best to do... Basically, she's covering her own backside... Upshot is, they ring the hospital and book me in to see the consultant... Not for a scan mind you... Just to discuss it... Can I get there tomorrow? Fine... Whatever... Asked her if she'll be doing the blood test she failed on last week? Oh... well the phlebotomist will be at the hospital tomorrow, might aswell let them do it... Gets her off the hook nicely... So I came away... Annoyed.. Then had a look at my notes and found they've booked the appointment with the consultant tomorrow... At 3:15! She knows I have a 5yo at school, how the heck does she expect me to fetch her from school and make the appointment?

And to top it all off... Aimee's been in the door 5mins and I've had nothing but lip and rudeness from her... I could sit and cry, I really could!

SIL ignored my requests for everyone to not share that I'd given birth by posting on Facebook. Cousin saw it, who texted Grandad, who was in the pub and dropped his pint and it smashed. Gutted that I was robbed of the chance to tell everyone the news, especially when I'd specifically asked people not to. Not my fault I was stuck in hospital with no phone!

Other news, I got my HiPG paid today.

That's awful. I was annoyed with one of my sisters for ringing up another (the one that changed her FB status) whilst I was on the phone telling Mum - I could hear her in the background saying OMG Vicki's pregnant! Then I got a text straightaway wanting to know why I'd not told her - hello, I am the oldest of 7 you are all over the UK how can I possible tell you all at the same time! I was in fact telling my Mum and even that got my in trouble with Dad cos he was miffed I told Mum first when we are closer. (only cos he works nights and I thought he would be sleeping so didn't want to wake him!)

Hurrah for new jobs!

I am attempting to work from home today but I can't find a comfy position to seat my laptop. Grrrrr.

Hope everyone is well today

My hubby started a new job yesterday :j- 110 mile round trip from home though On the plus side we are getting his redundancy payment next week from his old employers (a bank) so will be briefly in the money!!

Saw m/w today - measuring spot on (36 weeks) and all ok. Only 2nd time I've seen 'my' m/w - and my next appt in 2 weeks is with a cover one! Need to start taking iron again - bleurgh! But m/w recommended spatone or floradix (but neither available on scrip) cos of my rectocele Yick yick yick!

Ho hum - off for 3rd school run of the day!!!

Oh Krystal, that's pants! Have a cry, you'll feel better. Can you pick her up from school early and take her with you, treat yourselves to tea out after.

Krystaltips

I'd rather not have her there tbh... They'll be running hours behind and the way she's behaving at the minute I'd rather keep her behind closed doors! I've rung the antenatal clinic, the best they can do is ask me to come in at the start of clinic time (1:30) and hope that I get seen and get out before 3...

krystal why didn't they give you a red pot when you told her it was for hosp silly mare!!
MW=silly mare too!!! I'd have made her measure again or done it myself lol

Oh Krystal,thats awful! xx
Im in the same boat as you regarding kids..my 6year old son came out of school..first thing he did was ask for sweets :mad::mad: All the other kids were pleased to see their mums/dads/grandparents ect..but oh no not Ellis, he just nagged for sweets then when I said no, threw a pathetic tantrum and he's been giving me lip since we got in through the door. Great eh. Really missed him all day too,little git :rolleyes:
Theres nothing like being brought down from a high with a big thud!
