Good luck to Saffa and Helen fingers crossed for you both
Nice one bout yr scan Welsh_cosmic-did you find out what yr having? I also got told at my 20 wk that i had a low placenta- was not told not to have sex though! Not that I've fancied it I have a scan at 36 wks on 28th may to see if it's moved.

Got a bit of a sore throat, slightly swollen glands, slightly swollen ankles and a general can't-be-arsed feeling...uch! soz for moaning!

Awk we all appreciate a good moan - me more than most

Speaking of which - I have this really horrible condition, hyperhidrosis. Basically, excessive sweating of the palms/feet and to a lesser extent underarms (for me anyway, it can be different for different people). For about 22 years I had no idea it was a real thing. Turns out it is. Went to the doctors and they basically gave me deodorant and told me to put it on overnight.

It worked for a while but I put it on last night which means I have a really crap sleep 'cause I'm concious about touching stuff/rubbing it off - woke up this morning and my hands are stinging (lovely side effect of the stuff) but still really badly sweating. I swear I could cry!

I have a midwife appointment on 9th and I'm going to make a docs appointment the same day 'cause obviously this isn't gonna work long term. I can't put stuff on my hands all night if I have to get up with tiny human and I don't want to have to change her clothes 40 times a day 'cause I've sweated through them from holding her.

Really hope she doesn't have this too!

Hi Claree,

My OH also has this. The stuff the doctor gave him made him really sore as it irritated him so much. For about the last 3 years he has been using Linden Voss' Triple Dry. It has completely changed his life, including being able to get married and be in a suit and waistcoat all day

They also do a stick which dries a lot faster then the roll on. I would recommend you give it a go. You can buy it from Boots (but it's more expensive), Larger Sainsbury's and Tesco's also do it or you can order it online. Hope this helps.

Well I am just back from my 20 week scan... everything is fine, except the Placenta is low. So had to see the MW, OH was with me, she advised it is up to us if we have sex, but best avoided!!! Thats ok for me, but I think the OH was not best pleased!!! Have to go back at 30 weeks to have another scan and possibly see the Consultant again, even though I have an appointment next week with him!!!

The MW said 90% of the time it sorts it self out by 30 weeks, I bloomin hope so as I am supposed to going to Itlay at 32 weeks!!! If it doesnt resolve at 30 weeks, looks like a C-section!!!!
I am not worried too much at this point, the worry will start at the scan!!!

.

I am in the same boat as you. I found out at 20 weeks that my placenta is low so I went back at 28 weeks. I had an internal scan so be warned haha. I am such a prude! I was hoping that people wouldn't be messing about down there until delivery day haha. Anyhoo, it still hasn't budged so I have to go back in two weeks tomorrow when I am 36 weeks. It's very common and can move at the eleventh hour so I'm not too bothered.

We were told that we can't have sex as well but, tbh, it's the last thing on my mind right now and, when my OH found out about my placenta the cotton wool came out. We were also told that I could start to bleed and, touch wood, I haven't.

Hi everyone, I'm 30 weeks now, eek! Still haven't heard from HR to confirm my maternity leave officially in writing but that doesn't surprise me. The Health Visitor team want to visit me on Wednesday and seeing the midwife tomorrow. It's all going really quickly now, so need to get on with finishing uni work so I'm ready!

It took my HR ten weeks to confirm mine. Ten weeks!!!
