Hi all, back from my gp. Told her about the soft stools, she said that that was prob a good thing, since typically it's constipation and piles later in pregnancy! I told her about waning symptoms and she didn't provide a lot of reassurance just asked had I had any cramping or bleedings- which I haven't. I told her about the twinges and she said as long as they were on both sides and all over then that was fine. I explained my nervousness since we've been trying for year.
She told me not to buy prepared salads which I was unaware of and also cautioned me against packaged sandwiches. She also told me about not eating something from a local takeaway. It has mayonnaise in it and she thinks its not pasteurised. I had said meal from said takeaway on Monday! Can't find online the ingredients list! argh! hoping that its all ok, its a fast food restaurant, surely they used pasteurised mayonnaise rather than fresh, it's not that classy a joint! I had a total craving for it (prob not pregnancy related, just greediness related) on Monday after dh had one earlier. Total guilts now!! Ive eaten so well since we found out, raging at my moment of weakness!
imbrian im now wondering if my dodgy stomach and soft stools are just ibs and nerves. When nervous I run to the bathroom a lot. bloody body! no matter how much i mentally convince myself Im fine, it always lets me down. A dash from homebase cannot have been fun!
punkypod i wish i was hurling. that sounds so unsympathetic, but surely symptoms are good. My boobs barely hurt today and if it wasn't for the positive ic test id be going completely crazy. Of course i did a clearblue digital test this morning too, and it only will give a max of 3+ weeks. So much for my attempt to try and check if my hcg levels are rising. An expensive attempt!
Anyway so the gp told me about private care too. We definitely could afford it just don't know if it's necessary. We can get an early ultrasound for £60 with a private clinic. I am totally tempted to go for that. Any thoughts lovely ladies?
