Hurrah, you cake scoffers, I'm not alone: dd just spotted an ice cream van on way back from nursery, and instead of doing my sensible Mummy bit and saying 'no, lets go home and have a nice banana instead' I said 'ooh yes, I want one too, race you' and we had a huge sick making 99 each.
Now I feel sick, and she's grumpy and hyper, but it was nearly worth it...
Welcome Maroon! I'm sorry to hear your Mum's ill (my aunt has just been through BC, and dh's aunt had a mastectomy yetserday - both doing well, but its pretty traumatic for all concerned) and hope her treatment goes smoothly. I don't know much about small babies either, but have been on bp meds (postpartum) and expect to be again - I thought it was high bp that could lead to small babies, rather than the meds? But either way, I'd ask the MW if you're worried - I'm sure she'll measure fundal height, but the important thing is that you feel reassured.
Lucy, I hope you get some good days before the bean arrives...I hated the first 3-4 months of this pregnancy, because I felt so rough; it does take the joy out of it. Do the medics say its because of the bp pills? Or something else?
Redlorry, flashing lights can be pre-eclampsia symptom, but if you're over tired and/or anaemic you might get floaters and stuff too....since yo'ure feeling rough anyway, I'd call the MW and get checked out: not worth risking!
I've forgotten who asked about anaemia, but it made me very tired, out of breath easily, and a little dizzy (not very)...hard to distinguish from normal pregnancy, eh....
As for me, getting kicked to bits by baby after a very quiet 24 hours (rather nice) and have given in to my TW paranoia and treated everyone, and cleaned everything. Can't be doing with infestations two weeks before babe arrives! Now utterly knackered, even lost a bit of weight (or had, till I ate that ice-cream) but feel much more in control, even if I'm not
