That's great strawb - is it definitely 38 wks full term? I would prefer that greatly!
Stacey, that is crap and v worrying - can mw help/ sort it out?
Warning: dear diary rant but need to get it off chest - though I'm actually pretty calm about it -
Feeling so much happier and balanced over last few days. Really hoping I don't have to drop thyroid med again as I definately get a 2 week hormonal wobble which makes me think I'm depressed again. Just had a fab counselling session where I didn't cry once (first for me) blood test this morn then hospital on weds - really hope I can do the same there and be chilled, its nicely sandwiched between a sling meet in the morning and an art/architecture exhibition preview in the eve (where DH and his work partner MAY have won a small prize!) So hoping enough distractions.
I'm pretty cross with my pharmacy as i had a long over due bedside table drawer clear out and found the box and leaflet that matched the packet of thryoxine pills I was on in Feb/ march. (which I've obsessively kept hold of just in case) The mrha issued the caution and withdraw on 16 Feb due to concerns about its strength. My box, numbers all matching the affected batches, was issued on the 4th march - and I know id been on that brand in the months before. So I was definately taking pills weaker than.I should have been till about 13 weeks hence the resulting confusion and (on top if the slapped cheek confusion) resulting in my anxiety/depression. Im not totally fuming but fancy logging it with them. I still question if baby was affected in that first trimester due to it (most important time to be well managed) and try and tell my self it was relatively within range, though frustratingly, correct blood tests which would have reassured me I was taking enough were not done, due to the system the lab follows - you have to insist for t4 here. its just that I made one hell of a fuss at the docs about upping my dose on bfp and had so many diff responses including 'she's a fuss pot' - at least I did work hard at being a pain in the bum as my main doc didn't even think underactive thyroid was a problem in pregnancy, so it could have been worse and ended in mc or definately affected baby development. It was only through seeing the note of the British thyroid foundation that I followed it up with gp and pharmacy - they should have contacted me - but was never sure the date they'd issued the pills. Cos I'm feeling ok I can manage it, its the 4.am hormonal wobble that might do for me! Trying to just move on but cover my back if I.need to.
It's now dealing with the view the hospital think I'm barking mad - anyone would have been given the crazy doses of thyroid meds I've been on in last 8 mo plus all the other stresses! Seeing consultant perinatal psychiatrist on thurs to discuss medication post baby incase I wobble but tbh if the thyroid is managed ok I'm pretty confident ill be fine. I guess its all been good intro into being a mum - and good practice for future - and going for gut instincts!
Sorry for the monologue. Just needed to bleurgh!
Was going to say 'im full term today!' But maybe I'm not?!
