  • Feel ropey today. Stomach has felt jippy all day and sickly. Havnt slept well either which doesnt help.
    Such a contrast to monday where I had a lovely surge of energy and could have tackled anything.
    Netflix and sofa and PJ day.

    I've had a terrible day :( woke up several times during night with back pain and indigestion/reflux. The back pain was still there this morning so I e not left bed, OH is off work too but he can't even look after me as he has gout and can hardly walk. All I wanted to do was have a nice walk with the dog then get some messages in, do the housework etc and instead I've lay in bed, crying , feeling useless and that I'm no good for anyone :(

    Have another day off tomorrow and I'm praying I feel okay as I really can't cope with another like today.

    Sorry for the woe is me post. :(

    Sounds like a few of us are having rough days.:(
    Let hope tomorrow is better!

    Chealseablue When I wanted to speak to a MW on Monday I got through 5 of the numbers on my notes before I actually spoke to anyone!

    Lush I have the munchies too...got a cake taunting me in the kitchen!

    Smartcat definitely a pj day! The weather has been horrible here. Hope you feel better after a good rest.

    Conif you can't have a moan to us who can you moan to?! Maybe have a long soak in the bath?

    I get so cross about the MatB1 rubbish so many of us have to go through. Why can't the midwives just be organised and make a point of handing it to us at the 25 week appointment?! I had to get a blank form from my GP's reception then go to a drop-in clinic to get it filled in and signed by some random MW I'd never met because I hadn't realised I needed to hand it in at that time and the MW never even mentioned it to remind me! There just doesn't seem to be a lot of guidance from them at the appointments, just check the basics and send you on your way, but when you're a first timer it really helps to have someone holding your hand and helping with the admin! :o

    Today I've wasted about 3 hours trying to figure out Photoshop and given up! :o I just wanted to figure out how to make a cute birth announcement picture when Baby Bird finally arrives but it's just not happening! :(
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    Well I am back from the Hospital.

    Had my ECG all looked ok but heart was racing. Bloods were initially clear then they took some direct from a main vein and they oxygen levels were lower than they should be. Gave me some injection to pick it up which was really stinging when it went in.

    I have an appointment with the DVT team tomorrow morning to rule out any clots as the cause.

    Might just be that I will have a faster heart rate sometimes until baby is born and when all she is born it will return to normal!

    So for tonight I have to sit and not do anything. No problem with that at all! :rotfl:

    MATB1 - ive not had a midwife appt since 16 weeks and wont have one until 28 weeks so i just phoned the drs surgery and asked them to ask the midwife to fill it in for me and i picked it up from reception so that may be an option if you need it sooner and dont particularly need an appt.
    That's what I did too. (Although I actually *did* have a 25 week appointment - I just forgot to ask for it.)

    We are meeting with the landlord tonight. DH phoned him earlier to arrange and apparently LL said he wanted to sort the issue out, whether that means kicking us out or resolving things and keeping us i have no idea. I assume it would be in his interests to keep us, we arent bad tenants, have never missed a payment, we keep everything clean and well maintained so they have no reason to complain about us apart from them being unhappy about us complaining...If that makes sense lol!

    We are hoping to bring forward buying a house to within the next few months with the help of FIL. It may well mean we are moving house at the same time as having a baby but after all of this malarky i just want a house i cant be kicked out of with 2 months notice and i'm past caring about bad timing! We will just have to deal with it!
    I hope it all works out for you - the constant potential for two months notice was one of the things I really hated about renting. (That and the landlord never fixing things.)
