Hi all, apologies for being rubbish and not checking in very much lately. How is everyone doing? Good luck for all those with scans and tests coming up.
I've hit a wall of knackeredness; as we were whingeing about on the last thread, the sheer annoyance of three months of feeling so rubbish and throwing up every day has finally hit me. Then I had to have emergency root canal and ended up sending my manager a sobbing email asking to work from home for a few days. I'm just properly bone tired
But it will pass, it WILL, I know I didn't feel so rubbish the whole of my first pregnancy. Doesn't help that DP is off on holiday for the week with friends! (Long planned an uncancellable, he better bring me some damn good presents!)
Tiredmum, the maternity clothes are driving me mad right now. Despite working in central London there are no maternity departments apart from expensive ones, and I'm a tight arse. I've got a few baggy normal tops and will layer things for the next few months with maternity vests.
Actually, having said that, Primark have some great fitted t-shirt dresses at the moment for just £5, so I bought three of them - they look good with tights and boots too, and then should be good in the summer.
Had my midwife appointment this morning (Fuzzy, isn't yours now too? I'm sure we are the same days for everything!) and this little one is indeed a tyke, not only did it refuse to move into a good position for the scan, it hid from the Doppler and so we barely got a glimpse of the heartbeat (but enough to show it's there and it's fine). This one is going to be trouble, I know it!
On a positive note, I asked my mw about the VBAC clinic as I didn't have an appointment yet and she quite happily said if I was adamant I was having an ELCS then I'll be having an ELCS, and she's not going to waste anyone's time sending me to a VBAC clinic. Feeling more relieved, I keep worrying about it but all the signs seem to be pointing to a trust that is quite happy to do maternal requests.
