smileyhappymummy Hope your uneventful weekend was lovely and uneventful! As far as grumpiness, I'm pretty sure I was grumpy this often when I wasn't pregnant so can't really use it as an excuse... I do burst into tears now though...
Yomping Great to hear about your friends managing to get pregnant. One of my mates told me a few weeks ago she and her boyfriend had actually been trying for a year and a half now, I had no idea. I am feeling a bit bad about merrily telling everyone now. I mean she was lovely and we had a nice chat and she was even apologising to me (?) for going on about it when I was pregnant... And great news Yomping also on having a mate for maternity leave - I have about five now! all my friends are breeding like crazy right now!
giggling at kyyria blowdrying her towel, and of course looking so glowing and beautiful - I know what you mean about people saying you look nice and you're like, I'VE HAD 2 HOURS SLEEP I HATE YOU!
Angelico HAPPY BIRTHDAY. You know, my mum told me she was considered an "elderly primip" at 26!! They must have changed the definition! we had a good old laugh about that. And thanks for your nice words.
Beccus I've really enjoyed my antenatal yoga too - makes me feel strong and relaxed and I've started doing lots of it in pauses in everyday life.
Oh Mickey I just want to give you a hug... anxiety over scans (and everything else) is totally normal... pregnancy is fucking boring, it goes on forever and everyone says annoying things and you stop being fit and there's all the not-drinking to do... And i had a flip-out about how annoying people were with their stupid-doom-and-gloom stories a few weeks ago. They sound like right whingers who hate their babies. Of course it will be hard, but lots of things in life are hard, sometimes you get the impression people have never done anything else difficult before! People still love babies and keep having them, so. Grr. Shut up.
yomping, again: I got my MATb at my 25 week appt, but I think you could ask your gp for it if you need it before? Call them. Also well done for eating pate.
londonlivvy if it makes you feel any better about father's day me and boyfriend had a cynical conversation about how much we hate manufactured holidays and I'm not expecting any mother day cards any time soon!
CONGRATULATIONS on your little girl. xxx
So, my weekend went like this... came home from work early on friday because I went grey and nearly collapsed, went to bed shaky dizzy having palpitations, stupid boyfriend was distracted by the football and by the time it was over I was asleep, had train tickets to edinburgh at 7.30 the next morning, usefully had the conversation about whether I was well enough to go to edinburgh whilst walking to the station, then inevitably got on the train anyway due to astronomical cost of already-bought tickets. At this point I started getting a brown discharge - YAY! Just what you want as you sail 4 hours from home... I don't know the friends in Edinburgh very well, we are not super-close - they are usually lovely but very active types - as I am - however I think I'm not quite as blissfully oblivious to when someone is not feeling 100% - so we end up walking "a few minutes" to an art gallery in the torrential rain for the best part of an hour, I end up sitting on the side of the street in the torrential rain, boyfriend insists we go home, we walk home for what feels like forever, I hate everyone at this point and feel humiliated not to mention wet, go to bed at 3pm and get up at 7pm by which point thankfully dinner out has been cancelled and we are getting takeaway. Go back to bed after takeaway, do little until the train journey home the next day, getting more and more worried about stupid brown discharge (light, but persistent). Boyfriend is in the doghouse for not talking to me properly on friday and potentially avoiding all this. Phoned out of hours labour ward number last night and they said it was ok to wait till morning but keep an eye on discharge in case it got heavy or went red. So have been up every hour through the night knicker checking in a panic.
Saw GP this morning. Blood taken, swabs done, heartbeat listened to. I'm either anaemic or have an infection or have just been overdoing it, they are calling me back when they have results. Got told to take a week off work, but I'll take three days and see how I'm doing. Cervix is closed, baby squid is fine. S/he has been kicking like crazy throughout or I really would have got a lot more panicky.
