Or emsbet, make an emergency appt at ur dr's and they should get u referred asap, how horrid they wont let u self refer, i went up to ours in a blind panic and they were fine about me being there, even tried to keep me in xxxxx Really hope ur midwife helps u xxx

Tried the midwife and her phone is still off! I'm so mad at myself not leaving a message yesterday.
I think I'm going to call my GP as I don't have any confidence that phoning the maternity unit will help.

At our local hospital you can only self-refer if you're 20 weeks +, otherwise they say go to your GP or A&E. Good luck Emsbet, hope you get some reassurance today x

Had a really funny dream last night that I was giving birth, and they asked me if i'd like to use the water birth option, so I said yes, but it was full of baked beans instead of water :rotfl: It was quite nice and warm though.

Major ebay shopping session last night, I now have 300 items of baby clothes for 0-6months :eek: Less than 30p per item which sounds good to me. We're picking them up at the weekend so I'll have a look through, keep my favourite stuff, and sell anything else on. Alternatively we might keep everything and just not do any washing for 6 months :rotfl:

Had a really bad nights sleep as we went round a neighbour's and had a lovely chat and coffee yesterday evening, but even though he said it was decaf I still was far too bouncy to sleep until gone midnight. At least today is a quieter day at work. Won't help that the office is dark, the light is flickering so we can't turn it on, will try not to doze off at my desk.

I now have an appointment to see my GP at 12 today.

Glad you have an appointment orted Emsbet but keep trying to contact the midwife, if you like and trust her then she's probaby the best person to reassure you.

emsbet, glad you have an appointment I hope you get some answers and some reassurance.

Thank you ladies for your kind words the other day, everything came to a head for me yesterday at work when I realised that as I had to work late last night for an open evening that by the time I got home I wouldn't have time to cook my jacket potato (the only thing I can eat without being sick) This sent me into a blind panic and had me racing around during my lunch break trying to find something to eat and returning to work empty handed and sobbing like a baby!!!

Luckily they are a sympathetic bunch at my place and after a hug and some tlc I was sent home early to cook a potato in plenty of time to get back for open evening.

I feel like such an idiot for getting so upset over something so stupid but I've spent this whole pregnancy stressing about eating thanks to the sickness that I think it just sent me over the edge.

Still onwards and upwards I'm 20 weeks today and have my next scan on Monday, although I have to admit I am a bit nervous about it in case there is something wrong. Did you all feel this way?

Good Luck Emsbet

Floatylight Yes, I barely slept the night before, and the morning before it I felt sick, and I've not felt sick my whole pregnancy.

Yep I was absolutely convinced baby would have problems and not much anyone said could convince me otherwise, the scan was such a relief and worries that I had , had since bleed lifted, I did find parts strange like when they check brain, but in all in all prob the best day of my pregnancy so far xx
