12 to 24 week pregnancy thread

Oh LillyMay, massive hugs to you. Did you go to the hospital? I would have headed straight there for them to check baby without hesitation. I don't care if they all think I am a hypochondriac my health and the health of my baby comes first. I have no idea why midwives are like that with pregnant women either, they should be reassuring us afterall we pay their wages! and stress doesn't help the baby.

I hope everything is ok with you, thinking of you. Give us an update when you can xx

Lily how awful that woman was, i'm so shocked!

Hope everything is ok, I'm sure it is but don't want to sound dismissive x

Thanks guys. I was really shocked too. I am not easily phased by nasty folk but she really was something else. I have never ever been spoken to like that I don't tend to mention my previous pregnancies when I ask for advice because I don't want people to make assumptions but I had to with this woman. She sounded a bit sheepish when I explained about DD and the prem labour with DS. I know her name anyway and if I ever see her at the hospital I will be sure to tell her how rude ad obnoxious she is.

I have been calling my usual m/w all morning but she's not answered yet. She is so lovely and dealt with me for some of my pregnancy with DS so understands the situation. I still have pain in my lower back, it's like a dull ache, but no excessive discharge today. OH has been lovely.

Hope everyone else is doing okay. I am fed up with coming on here complaining or with bad news. I must find a cheery topic. I'm off to the cinema shortly to see "The Words End" (I think that's what it's called - Simon Pegg's new movie?) with OH. DS is in nursery and we need some "us" time.

ooh i really want to see that Lily, it's got fab reviews, i think you should make a proper trip of it - lots of popcorn and sweets and a big drink

All family and best friends know now, so that's great, although it does make it feel a little bit more unreal. i said to DH before that i feel a bit deflated now- all that worrying and constantly thinking 'oh what does this mean, what does that mean, is baby ok' is gone now so it feels odd. i'm not saying i'm not still worried but less so.
It's sort of like the day after your wedding - you're happy but a bit like 'what do i do with my time now' cos so much of your time before was about the wedding.

Today is my 27th Birthday and luckily i like curry again so me and DH are going to my favourite Indian for tea yum yum

Happy Birthday TL! Have a lovely day! Xxx

P.S, just got in touch with my m/w who said go to the GP who will examine me. She can't do anything today but call her again. She said she thought it might be my vaginal wall that was prolapsed...!

Please can I play out? I'm 14 weeks tomorrow and nervous as hell! Has anyone else turned from a normal woman into some sort of maniac? Be it too much peeing or too little peeing, or examining stuff?! I had a MC in Dec so think I'm a little paranoid!

Lily, if you have the nasty MW's name, then complain about her!

She's no doubt speaking to other women the same way and upsetting them too.

Don't let people like that get away with it.

Fingers crossed for good news lily.

22 weeks today for me!!!

I just saw the most lovely GP in the world. She said my cervix is a little bit open, but what I can feel is a collapsed pelvic floor muscle and a slightly prolapsed vaginal wall! Nice. Atleast it isn't anything to worry about.

She also said that if one of her receptionists had spoken to a patient like that she would want to know so I think i will make a complaint.

Feel loads better.

TL - The Worlds End is 'interesting'. I was a bit disappointed....Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz are better IMO. It doesn't suit Nick Frost playing a clever cloggs!

Happy 22 weeks Vic
