just updated the list to hopefully get things moving for Bubblepops especially!
(I didn't have all the details for missymoo)
Apologies if anyone is missing or anything is incorrect - just let me know and I will change it.

AFM - Managed to finally get another prescription for anti-nausea meds so last night was amazing! Just had to get up for several wees but I can cope with that - so much better than 5-7 times vomiting! Hooray!!!

Now that it's April and officially "birth month" it seems a whole lot more real! Tried re-arranging bedroom and moses basket fits very nicely next to my side of the bed which is good. We're good to go now - just need baby to arrive!

Hope everyone is ok and not too fed up / tired etc etc.

krustylouise

AP - I didn't realise you'd beeb vomiting - you poor thing! Has it been the whole way through? x

Aunty-Pickle

krustylouise - not continuously no (fortunately!) It stopped when I was about 20 weeks and started when I was about 30 weeks! They think it's because I'm quite short and petite so there isn't much room so everything is even more squashed than normal! Can't wait for bump to drop to give a bit of relief!
I've had to try several different GPs because there have been varying responses including one who said that he "didn't believe in giving un-necessary medication to pregnant women" Hmmmm, un-necessary eh?!

krustylouise

You poor thing!!! Honestly I think some gp's shouldn't remain in their jobs as they lose their compassion and we become a number.

I remember when DD had her six week check, the gp didn't have a clue what I was there for. When I told him he didn't understand and just asked if I had any concerns. He didnt check DD or myself!

If they can't put it down to stress or virus that's it!

I'm really pleased you've found something that's helping to relieve your nausea x

Bubblepops

Aww, thanks AP!

Glad you've got some more anti nausea stuff-better sleep makes a world of difference, doesn't it? Ooh-birth month! Exciting times!

Still nothing doing here, think she's going to need dynamite. Going to try and enjoy our last day today-off for a (veggie) carvery for tea, and a day of pottering around planned, as OH has to study, unless she decides to put in an appearance.
Wow milly! The MW told us that the only thing proven to work was DTD -apparently the hormones in the little swimmers are the ones that you need to kick start labour?

Thanks krusty. It's good to know there's still time, however unlikely!

hippihaz

Hey everyone,
Congrats to missymoo
Had my 31wk midwife appt yesterday, seemed a bit concerned my bp was still low, but I generally though that was a good thing... And starting my nhs antenatal class this week, which hope will be useful.
Good luck to all those near the top of the list and hope you all get to meet your little ones soon x

krustylouise

What's your BP reading hippihaz? x

hippihaz

Its 90/54 but its been around that since my 12 wk appt (pre-pregnancy it was always around 120/80). I think bp is supposed to drop in the first 2 trimesters then get back to normal in the third, so maybe she just expected mine to be going up a bit by now? x
