MSE Pregnancy Club 21

Sequeena

I have discovered an ants nest in our living room due to the botched way the floor has been fitted. They don't meet up with the pipes so there's gaps in the floor allowing them to get in :mad: I've put ant killer down inside and on the outside wall so hopefully that will solve the problem for now.

Am also in agony with my pelvis sitting in this computer chair is really hurting and I've been only been in it for 5 minutes!!!

Thanks all I know it's weird to crave paper - i'll get the midwife to do me a blood test next week I think to make sure i'm not low on anything, as i'm very very tired also. Someone has suggested I buy sugar paper from a sweet shop - what a great idea! Lol xx

I'd get rice paper instead..;).. sugar paper is the huge coloured sheets of paper they have in schools..

BCS sorry not been the best of days here and I missed your earlier post. . Can you see your diabetic team this week at all as erratic blood sugar levels tend to cause quite severe mood swings too which they will be able to help out with. Obviously like most people I would hope that you don't have to start injecting insulins but if you do it is not all that bad honestly and if it makes your condition more stable then it will be totally worth it. . I have been insulin dependent for comng up on 33 years and it has never been that much of an inconvenience . Quite a few of the SSRIs are approved for use during pregnancy and bf too so if you feel that you need to restart them there is nothing to worry about.

We had our dating scan today and was told 13 weeks +1 so EDD is 22nd November now. Waiting for the blood test results in the next week or so and then we can tell DD the news (she is 4). Still feeling tired at one point in the day and hope this disappears soon.

Pigpen in my area they insist that if you are at all worried about movement then you go to the assessment unit on the basis that they would sooner see you 20 times when there is nothing to be concerned about than miss the one time that there is so it may be worth giving yours a call.

Sequeena I hope that you get the problem with the ants sorted quickly as it is an additional stress that you just don't need just now.

Lynn I hope that you get good news and quickly regarding your blood results as your scan sounds very positive.

They are phoning me for my readings tomorrow & it looks like i'll have to go on Insulin.

Tbh it will be a relief as i'm getting so depressed atm as it doesn't seem to matter what I eat the last couple of days my readings are sky high.

I can eat something one day get a normal reading yet when I eat the same thing another day it's sky high & I just don't get it, I feel such a failure.

They stopped my Prozac as soon as I found out I was pregnant as my GP didn't think it was worth the risk to the baby seeing as they don't work 100% for me anyway (I have asperger's syndrome).

Thanks for all your support & advice, i'd probably of gone completely mad by now if I didn't have anyone who understands how this all feels. :A

I hope you are not feeling too bad atm.

Thanks to Sparkle, Apricot & everyone else for listening.

No worries that is what we are all here for. . A little bit of mutual support. . I hope that they get your diabetes stabilized for you asap as I understand what you mean about it being almost soul destroying when despite your best efforts you are not getting the results you need as it is always like that for me through the first trimester and a good way into the second. .

Sparkle I hope your mums surgery goes very well and that she manages to recover very quickly afterwards. I will have you both in my thoughts over the coming weeks. Please remember to offload any worries or stresses you may have have here where granted none of us may have any useful answers for you but we are good listeners.

My mum has unexpectedly been given an operation date of tomorrow, typical the day after I leave. She will be unconscious for 4 days and her temperature reduced to bare minimum just to keep the core functioning, it's so scary and she is hundreds of miles away rom the Uk, then 4 hours away from her own home and even from her hubby as it was so sudden. I know she was worried about not making it for baby's birth, so at least she will be relieved to get this over and done with, but I can't wait until Monday so she can start recovery, won't be released for around 4 weeks though.

(HUGS) honey - as if being 30 weeks pregnant isn't enough to think about - I'm sure she'll be in safe hands though.

Woke up this morning with a really hard bump - had to shuffle/bounce out of bed as I couldn't pull myself up - ick.....
