Thanks

faithy hope all goes well today (x2!) and that pickle behaves and gives you a wave

FriendofDorothy · 17/10/2012 08:48

faith hope all goes well today.

I have had the most horrendous night's sleep. I had just dropped off when The Mister came to bed and woke me up, then I couldn't go back to sleep. Then my cousin who lives with us scalded her foot at about 1.30am. Poor thing, it must have been really painful but she managed to wake the entire house. Of course it's alright for her - she works part time and can stay in bed. I have a nightmare day to be tired today as I have to see a potentially difficult and violent client for assessment. Bugger, bugger, bugger.

Oh, and I have been sitting here panicking that I can't feel much movement. Winston is probably jusy asleep!

blonderthanred · 17/10/2012 09:02

Good luck with your double big day today Faith. Will be thinking of you.

Dor that is annoying as you must be pretty wrung out already. Hope you get through your day ok.

HaveALittleFaith · 17/10/2012 09:44

:( dor hope it's an ok day. Maybe see if you can sneak a nap?

I'm at work for my interview at 10 - like to be early! Quite nervous (not a bad thing) but thinking I'm mad to go for it since I haven't got recent ward experience!

OP posts:
cakeandcava · 17/10/2012 09:45

Camel that sounds horrendous -I'm so sorry. The first sonographer sounds very unprofessional. So glad the second scan was unproblematic -hopefully the full results will give you proper reassurance.

Dot I think you're getting to the stage now where they start to have more defined movement patterns (early 30s weeks?) -I remember spending quite a bit of time freaking out about lack of movement as well, but it's just that they spend longer sleeping, and then waking again. It's better once you start getting an idea of how their cycle is...

Faith huge good lucks to both your appointments today! Hope both go really well!

LauraPalmerPlusOne · 17/10/2012 11:16

Hope your interview is going well Faife and enjoy seeing your wriggly little pickle!

Sorry to hear it has been rough going Cam (but glad to see you on here!)

Dor - did I miss that you'd found your name?! Winston is a fantastic name - I love it! And my phone spellcheck changes it to Einstein, so that must e a good sign.Wink. I had a similar experience regarding lack of movement this week and MW told me it was most likely that he was facing inwards and kicking my guts in a way that I couldn't feel.

HaveALittleFaith · 17/10/2012 11:21

Interview is done. It was ok - I've had interviews for a higher level so I know what it's like to be grilled! It was only half an hour. I answered the questions ok but really don't think I'll get it and not sure I really want it!

Yes only a couple of hours to go now!

dor I assume Winston is a nickname, are you not worried it'll stick?! I'm sure yes just snoozing if you had a busy night :)

OP posts:
blonderthanred · 17/10/2012 12:28

Is it Winston because of the theory that all babies look like Churchill when they're born?

HaveALittleFaith · 17/10/2012 12:37

Right, ok, how long do I need to hold my wee? It says to drink 1 1/2 pints an hour before. When can I last pee?! An hour before the scan?

OP posts:
cakeandcava · 17/10/2012 12:40

I like Winston too! I may have even thrown it out there as a suggestion when we were discussing names, but mrcakes vetoed it. Oh well.

FriendofDorothy · 17/10/2012 13:12

Winston is just a nickname. It's a very cool name but it seriously wouldn't go with our surname! However, if we can't agree on a name then we might stick with it at this rate!

LauraPalmerPlusOne · 17/10/2012 13:20

Keep holding it Faife!

HaveALittleFaith · 17/10/2012 13:22

Ok I'm downing the pint!

I think it's a groovy nickname dor :)

queenrollo · 17/10/2012 14:26

faith are you jiggling in your hospital waiting room seat as I type? Hope they don't keep you waiting too long!

LauraPalmerPlusOne · 17/10/2012 14:59
blonderthanred · 17/10/2012 15:14

Hold it Faith! (although bearing in mind your UTIs, don't suffer in agony)

HaveALittleFaith · 17/10/2012 15:29

Oh it was agony - apparently I had a very full bladder! But yes, definitely got a baybee in there! It was wriggling, gave us a wave, couple of back stretches and put its arms above its head :) couldn't get the nuchal fold because it was sat on its bum. Phew! Been moved forward one day so 12+6 according to her/25th April. Hooray!

I'm doing a little happy dance here faith we've been through so many ups and downs together in the Hut and on the Besh threads over the last couple of years I am SO happy for you.

blonderthanred · 17/10/2012 15:58

Suddenly seem to have something in my eye...

Oh that is very beautiful news. I am so utterly delighted for you.

LauraPalmerPlusOne · 17/10/2012 16:40

Yayyyyyyyyyyyy! I'm doing a little happy dance for you and Pickle!

CamelKnees · 17/10/2012 17:41

Hurray! Well done fee. Lovely news!!!

FriendofDorothy · 17/10/2012 18:04

Hurray! That's brilliant faith - I am so pleased for you :)

HaveALittleFaith · 17/10/2012 19:12

Finally saw consultant after a 2 hour wait Shock she just said take less codiene if I can, have a GTT because my BMI was 30 but she said otherwise low risk and she's quite happy! :)

OP posts:
cakeandcava · 17/10/2012 20:25

Wonderful news Faith -another victory for the ESH! :)
Also really glad to hear you're low risk. Exciting times ahead -time to go maternity clothes shopping methinks?

HaveALittleFaith · 18/10/2012 05:50

More like time to put all the maternity clothes my sister gave me in the wardrobe! I don't think I need much else to be honest :). I might start buying bits for the baybee now.
