Hello! Hoping to be allowed on board the bus after dating scan this afternoon put us at 9+1 - due date 3rd June - not the 13-14 weeks we thought! Pretty sure DP is secretly relieved to have those few extra weeks ;)
Scan all healthy as far as can be determined at this stage. Saw MW afterwards who tells me I am anaemic (letter was on the doorstep saying the same when I got home), which would make sense of the extreme exhaustion, weakness etc so that's quite nice to have an answer for, even if she did give me pretty dire warnings about the pukey/constipation consequences of the iron...
MW was very VERY VERY nice and gentle with me ("is that OK? Are you sure? Really, can I hep with anything at all?"), which was I thought was a bit weird until she said at the end "oh and I've booked you in to see the consultant next week because you're on the sertraline". (anti depressants, for those that don't know - mild - and I am on the lowest dose). Was very tempted to say "don't worry love, if I'm going to go mental on you you'll be in no doubt whatsoever what is happening" but didn't want to be mean, since she was obviously so well intentioned. I do hope I'm not going to be treated with kid gloves through this whole thing - I'm not used to it: normally with mental health stuff you have to be attempting to insert furniture into yourself before medical staff treat you as anything other than a slightly irritating puzzle.
