Jasmine. Good to get it out. Your friends may have had very easy pregnancies but equally they may well have forgotten a lot of the cr*p! This also happens when you have a new born and everyone tells you how easy their baby was, how well it slept through, how advanced it was.... honestly I have had 2 ds and struggle to remember lots of things, always amazes me when people claim to have vivid memories of things that happened to them years and years ago. I have rubbish pregnancies, feel knackered and sick and then my hips start to fall apart! Lots of people do have rubbish pregnancies and you'll find plenty of them on MN, so don't feel like you're on your own.
Scan stuff is really rubbish, I can't believe they didn't offer you another one, particularly hard that cash is tight too.
Wouldn't worry about the head, if they had seen something odd they would have told you - scan pics are v strange sometimes, particularly if it was a strange angle.
Your dh sounds like he's being crap. Sorry, can't remember from previous posts whether this is a long term thing, hope not, maybe tell him more about how it makes you feel.
Money is a worry, if dh helped more with stuff would that mean you could work if you had a short gap when you felt OK or is what you do not that flexible? Anyway, keep posting on here for support.
banana, yes I am PANICING big style. My scan is in 3hrs and I feel sick. I have completely convinced myself that something will have gone wrong. I ahve never felt this way before about a scan. Have all symptoms and a bump but have been reading up WAY too much on missed miscarriages.... dh keeps telling me it will be fine but I am sooo anxious. Had to ring the hospital to double check appt cos I was convinced I'd get there and they'd say my appt wasn't today and I'd have to wait even longer. AAArrrrgggghhh! Am going to spend the next two hours cleaning (am supposed to be working from home!) with loud music on to keep me distracted... Don't worry about the pigeon, if you've not been ill yet then I'm pretty sure you won't be and even if you got food poisoning there's only a v v tiny chance that it would be a problem. Listen to lisascat, she makes much more sense than me, i'm a bit hysterical!!!
thanks to those who posted on aqueous cream. me and my 2 ds use it for dry skin!!! They get diprobase prescribed but whenever it runs out I just buy aqueous cos its easy to get hold of. MUST STOP now!
