I only do cross stitching and scrapbooking now. I used to be able to knit years ago, but I couldn't remember how when I tried again I got a sewing machine so that I could learn to sew, but I don't feel brave enough to make any baby bits! I'm better at hand sewing. I just joined the facebook group, and had a quick look for the first time a couple of hours ago. I can't believe the amount of lovely things you're all making! I'm going to have a proper look later, but you're all far more creative than me.

I am frustrated. Was the fourth different midwife I have seen. She didn't even know how to get me prescription for iron which she said I needed badly grrr. She said come back in two weeks. I asked her earliest for sweep se said 39 weeks of baby engaged. I said about having pains she ignored me.

I said do I not need to be seen before two weeks to check amniotic fluid level if he still measuring so big. She said no. That was it. I said will the doc phone me when prescription ready she said maybe. She was just useless

Sorry you had a crap appointment RJH, she does sound pretty useless, Did you manage to get an appointment in a week rather than a fortnight?

KatyLiz

rjh - That must be so annoying, she sounds useless. I've been lucky to only see the one midwife for every appointment. When I lived in Wales for my last pregnancy I never saw the same MW twice, it must just be a different system there, but I don't think its a great way of doing things. Will you be seeing someone else next time?

Yeah I just ignored her and booked for next Friday rather than when I forty plus two. Hopefully be a different midwife next time. Or I
Might kill her lol. Hopefully get a sweep next week f things looking more favourable head wise.

I was just so frustrated cos I have been having pains and wanted checked and she was just so dismissive. Grr

i have seen two different midwives too and she said i might see whoever is on duty next. so much for trying to familiarise with one midwife for comfort or they get to know you.. sigh

We were weighing suitcases the other day, OH weighed himself, so i decided i'd weigh myself (without letting him see), I hadnt weighed myself since i got pregnant. OMG i'm still in shock !!!

Also i've seen the same midwife for my appointments, and i've said i will be a case study for a student midwife, so she will attend all my pre and post natal appointments and also the birth. It will be nice to have a familiar face when i go into labour.

Rups32

sad for us Croydon ladies - see a new face each time! lol. hopefully at labour we get a normal mw..:)

off to manchester shortly to see the olympics so wont be able to come on. everyone have a lovely weekend and will be here on monday panicking before scan. xx

Lol Rups! Have a great time and good luck for Monday

snowyz - don't worry about your weight either way. I'm still glad I haven't checked mine, everybody on here seems shocked one way or the other once they know!
