Congrats to Runny, whywhywhy and Lesley!!!
And all the best to everyone with imminent labour action!
Rant alert - had a blah day yesterday - got call from Dr's surgery saying I needed to re-take a blood test as my blood sugar was high but they couldn't fit me in until Monday (to take one sample of blood?). Then got another call saying there was a prescription for iron tablets left for me as my iron levels were too low. V. mad as these tests should have been done by m/w about a month ago but she had said since all my others had been fine there was no need to re-do them. Was only because Dr insisted when I saw her on the 2nd that they got done at all. Also mad at myself as I should have insisted they were re-done by m/w.
So I picked up the prescription and it was dated a week ago - had taken them a week to phone me after getting the results!! Was v. . Then started panicking about the high blood sugar and of course that was when our 'perfect' friend (who is also pregnant) dropped in and the first words out of her mouth were 'Look at the size of you!! I've only got a tiny bump' (Because you're only 23 weeks pregnant!!!!!!!) Which made me panic even more that I have developed diabetes (runs in family) and baby is too big.
Anyway, after no sleep, did what I should have done yesterday and got on phone this morning to Dr and she fit me in to re-do blood tomorrow so I don't have to wait until Monday and re-assured me result was only slightly high and she wasn't worried, just wanted to be sure.
Sorry for rant! In good news had my hair cut & colour sorted yesterday and was fussed over by everyone in salon which was lovely, have never been offered so many cups of tea or magazines!
