I just got back from my midwife appt and there was a woman in labour in the waiting room - drama! She said she'd been having contractions for 24 hours and was sent home from hospital.
In other news my one is making its way down. She said it's not fully engaged but his head is in my pelvis. Hence the twinges I've been having in the past few days. No actual numbers given though.
Also got booked in for a flu jab and she said not to worry about whooping cough if I've already been vaccinated for it at school.
I also filled my basket with sinful goodies, but to be fair I'm entertaining some mad aussie friends for 'tea' this pm and my plans to bake were scuppered by a trip to the bank for the PTA and two trips to the local cafes
smitten I guess the WC jab renewal depends on which end of the age spectrum you're in. It's so long since I had that jab at school that i needed a top up. Coincidentally there was an advert advising the jab on the radio when i was in the local health shop this morning, there's definitely an outbreak of WC at the mo.
How does everyone feel about the flu jab? I've had a text from GP asking if i want it but not sure if worthwhile...
Well the consultant reviewed my notes (I didn't see her) and is happy with the growth even though it's tailed off slightly (sonographer thought could be due to steroids and labetalol). The sonographer wrote 'query small vsd' and said she couldn't see the heart/all areas clearly. Therefore I have a fetal ECG at GOSH tomorrow at 1pm where hopefully I'll be told it's all a big overreaction.....
Checking in, thought there were 1000 posts on a thread so was chuffed when I got to 1001, hey go at least its finished. Wonder if Jellybaby will appear before this thread runs out???
Pseudo fx for your appt tomorrow - hope they're just being overly cautious!!!
Has anyone (FB grp?) heard how Umlauf, GT are doing?
Jelly how are things progressing?
Think my head cold has now gone to my chest, q lots of coughing ... I'm off to find some comfort food - for some reason I can't stop thinking about blueberry muffins!!
Pink- I was told to definitely have the flu jab as the midwife said she had two women last year who had flu while pregnant and it made them very I'll and they both ended up in intensive care. So it's better to have it just in case.
Sympathies to others with the cold and other ailments. I'm not usually a wimp when I have the cold but with all other aches and pains and not being able to take anything other than paracetomal, I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself and would really like to eat 4 blueberry muffins . I would also hate to go into labour at the moment. Urgh. Zero energy. Wouldn't be good. Anyway, and to you all.
pseudo I think if I refuse the ECV it would be an automatic CS, but I must admit it does worry me a little. It has a fairly low success rate from what I've read and it can cause distress to the baby as well as things like detachment of the placenta. I will speak to the OB though as I'm aware I'm getting loads of my info from the Internet, which I shouldn't really trust. Have felt a few big movements this week so maybe it's turned on it's own. Here's hoping. Will soon find out!
