@disinterested fingers are crossed for you! Hopefully they are just being cautious

AmandaP86x · 11/10/2017 14:19

My bump was like that last night so so tight!

I get like that after my 13 hour shifts on the wards right enough! They r absolutely flooring me!!!!!

I work in a maternity unit so I know my consultant and he’s offered me a scan at 31 weeks just to check position and stuff.

I have an app for my whooping cough and my flu jab on Friday kind of dreading it but need to get flu jab because of my job anyway.

Next appt at midwife I’ll be 28 weeks! Xx

Fredthefrog · 11/10/2017 15:36

I haven't done anything about whooping cough/flu jab. Do I make an appointment at the gp? I'm 26 weeks and my next midwife appt is in half term and I'd rather book jabs for then so don't want to wait and asked her?

Mummyme87 · 11/10/2017 16:58

Yes you need to make appt with nurse for whooping cough and flu jab sooner rather than later. I had my whooping cough last week, might do flu tomorrow when I'm at work.
amandap I also work in maternity and dying with the long days 😖

Waitingonasmile · 11/10/2017 17:17

@Disinterested fingers crossed it's not serious! I had itching until I bled for about a week and had two lots of bloods taken. It turned out to be nothing and it's gone away on its own. Definitely best to get checked though.

I've finally got round to booking flu and whooping cough jags. 28 week appointment next week! Will finally be third trimester Grin. That's means the end is in sight!

Ruthcarr1990 · 11/10/2017 18:06

Tad bit random but anyone in gated head area? Xx

Rosehyd2 · 11/10/2017 19:25

GTT here today too and they decided to offer me an antenatal appointment at the same time (was told by my midwife I didn't need it as I was now consultant led). Good thing they did as I have protein in my urine at ++. So rather than 3 blood tests I had 6 blood tests today and they had to send a urine sample off. My BP hasn't raised so it's not immediately a concern for pre-eclampsia. But my, what a journey me and baby have been on so far. Between us we will have seen more specialists than I've ever seen in my life! Our next appointment for baby is later this month where we meet lots of paediatric surgeons and specialists to find out more about baby's stomach issue/twisted gut.
On the plus side, lots of kicking from baby lately!

shaaan1329 · 11/10/2017 20:05

My boss tonight at work has made me feel absolutely wonderful about myself and my changing body.. when he told me I’ve put weight on but ‘it’s not a bad thing’.. I said yeah I have but it’s proof the baby is growing nicely.. his response was (and I quote): ‘well yes but you’re not growing the baby in your legs are you?!’ How bloody rude! Maybe I’m not the size 6 I was pre pregnancy but I am certainly not as big as he seems to be joking about!

ElleMcElle · 11/10/2017 21:04

@shaaan1329 - Absolutely mind-bending that he thinks it's OK to make comments like that. What a plonker!

Waitingonasmile · 12/10/2017 09:07

@Rosehyd2 what a horrible time of it you are having. Did they give you any reason for protein? Thank goodness it's not preeclampsia yet.

Flowers let's hope things start getting easier for you.

millsbynight · 12/10/2017 21:18

Has anyone else used the Babycenter weight gain chart? here

Now I'm worrying I'm not putting on enough weight after having gained loads early on!

Disinterested · 12/10/2017 21:51

@millsbynight I've not been weighed since my booking in and don't have working scales so I've no idea!

I'm getting married in the morning.... aaaaaaaaaah!

millsbynight · 12/10/2017 22:00

Ooooo have the BEST day tomorrow @Disinterested 🤗👏🏼👰🏼👰🏼👰🏼👰🏼

DH drives me absolutely fucking mental sometimes but I love being married!

OP posts:
Owl1011 · 12/10/2017 22:05

Good luck for tomorrow @Disinterested and congratulations! 

@millsbynight I've been actively avoiding scales! Dreading the moment I have to get on them!

AmandaP86x · 12/10/2017 22:28

So I was classed as overweight before I was even pregnant lol even though I actually am a size 8-10 I done loads of running and lifting weights so I’m 5ft 4 & 76kg so that thing tells me I’m way off the scale 😂😂😂😂

ForumUsername · 12/10/2017 23:23

Very best of luck to you tomorrow and throughout married life @Disinterested

ForumUsername · 12/10/2017 23:26

@millsbynight I've been using that throughout to keep an eye on weight

This week I'm bang in the middle of the blue
Couple of weeks ago I was above, probably from too much ice-cream on holidays

It's nice to use as a guideline but TBH I'm not led by it completely

ziggzagg · 13/10/2017 06:28

I was a bit concerned as I have only put 1lb on but Midwife said baby is fine and as long as he is growing they have no issue if I lose weight! Been eating healthy because of my GD, suppose its cutting all the cakes and sweets out!

millsbynight · 13/10/2017 07:05

@ziggzagg 1lb?! Jealous! I’m over here battling stretch marks on my hips :(

Haha yes @AmandaP86x I remember some of your bump pics... definitely not overweight 😂 I bet your bmi says something ridiculous like obese. My DH is classed as overweight on the NHS BMI calculator but he’s just muscly! Always makes me laugh.

@ForumUsername oo yes ice cream, milkshakes have been my downfall this pregnancy!

OP posts:
SJ1989 · 13/10/2017 13:32

@ziggzagg I've only put 2lb on an baby was measuring 3.3lb on a scan Tuesday so I've actually lost weight and that's without taking into account the placenta and fluid the midwife and consultant are happy though so I'm happy

Roseandbee · 13/10/2017 14:22

@forumusername amazing scan pics, how many weeks were you?

I've not put much on, Midwife wasn't concerned.

My stomach also been tightening loads, and sometimes it feels like the baby's in some kind of spread eagle position pushing it out even further

Rosehyd2 · 13/10/2017 16:37

@Waitingonasmile Luckily I got the all clear today for both the GTT and the protein. They said today if protein appears again they'll need to run some further tests. But for now, for once, nothing extra to worry about. Phew!

SJ1989 · 13/10/2017 16:55

@Rosehyd2 glad you've had a bit of a break this time and it's not any extra stress for You!

Rosehyd2 · 13/10/2017 20:50

Thank you :)

Usernamegone · 13/10/2017 20:55

I'm too scared to step on the scale! I know that I've gained loads as at 6/7 weeks I literally put on a stone overnight despite not eating anything different or having extra snacks!
