Hello again - haven't been here for a few weeks.
Now 19wks, and a couple weeks ago got signed off for 8 weeks having previously been signed off for three, managed 6 days of work and collapsed again.
After more blood tests than I'd ever heard of, it seems that I'm having an officially crap pregnancy but Squirmlet is just fine. So I just have to lie down and rest most of the day - basically get A to nursery, come home with lots of sit-downs, go to bed, pick A up, that's about it. But at least I'm now feeling up to that, or other pottering about when MrNC can collect A.
On the plus side, the enforced rest means my SPD has faded a lot, and being over 18 weeks I'm finally allowed decent amounts of codiene so I can sleep which is helping a lot.
I don't get my anomaly scan for another couple weeks, though the 13wk one showed that a couple worst-case scenarios that family members had won't be the case for me. But I've suddenly become superstitious and am too scared to go to the NCT sale near me (wonderful range of bargains being in a posh area!) as it's before the scan. Tell me I'm being daft? I'm a hugely rational person who gets into arguments about risk levels on MN!
Hoping to find out the sex - as last time we have a girl name chosen, but not a boy, but as this is likely to be my last pregnancy (see above, plus taking forever to conceive), I predict I'll be gutted if little girlname is never going to exist - and nearly as upset if little possible-boyname isn't! I was bad enough last time, went for a cry in Woolworths until I persuaded myself that avoiding all the pink tat would be a good thing!
Enough rambling - is anyone else here in/near London?
