same here and starting to panic!!! lol
Sister - doing fine apart from written her car off. Can you believe that in the last month or so she's a) been moved into a safe house, b) found out she's pg after being sterilised in Sept...emergency op and both tubes removed....told they couldn't find baby in tubes so had to wait for scan the FINALLY got neg pg test on Friday THEN......c) that evening she hit black ice on a country lane and ended up in a ditch!!!
Childminding - long story, 2 of my mindees (sisters) have been with me ages. The 2 and half year old start at 6 months old and her just turned 1 yr old sister started with me at 7 weeks. I love them to bits HOWEVER have many problems with parents causing big trouble and not wanting to collect when their children are VERY poorly (i.e. baby 9 months old with temp of 103.2/39.9 and screaming as not well ) Anyway, always had in back of mind that it's not good for business to keep this up etc etc. and that one day I'll have to give notice. Then....got offer I couldn't refuse. My double pay baby I have on Thurs/Fri is now going to come to me every day of the week, double pay So she will replace the 2 meaning 1 mindee instead of 2, finish at 6pm instead of 6.30pm and won't even be needed on Tuesday's - that's how desperate her mum was for me to take her full time. I've told her I will advertise for one space as don't want all of my eggs in one basket long term but this suits me fine for now She's agreed to a 2 month notice period rather than 1 too. Hated giving notice to others but had to be done and glad it's been done now. I'll have them til Feb unless they choose to leave earlier, in which case double pay baby's mum will start earlier - how fab eh (although there will be many tears as it gets nearer!)
My Pregnancy - I felt better after my scan and then it all changed for me last Tuesday and I'm not quite sure what's going on but hopefully all ok. Basically, had a fall on Tuesday, only minor but luckily I decided to phone midwife to see what she thought and she casually offered for me to pop into drop in clinic on Friday which I'm SOOOO glad I went to. Heard heartbeat so felt reassured, she got my blood results and all was fine. BUT she then said as I'm RH-ve blood group, I may need to get my blood checked to see if baby's blood had leaked into mine as if it had and baby was +ve blood type, my body could start producing antibodies to fight the baby which can leave to fetal death etc. if not dealt with. Anyway, she was advised by hospital it wasn't really necessary to check my blood but luckily she decided to anyway. This was on Friday and she told me to phone on Monday. Saturday morning I got a call from the hospital saying my baby's blood HAD leaked into mine and baby is +ve blood type so within a couple of hours, I was down the hospital having an anti-d injection. I asked lots of questions and thought I felt reassured until I researched more (because I knew I should have had this within 72 hours of fall and it wasn't done until 96 hours after). I then phoned midwife yesterday asking more questions and she didn't even know about what had happened and has now arranged for another blood test tomorrow to screen my blood for antibodies. From what I've read on a thread I put in Health section, I was either misinformed when told that baby WAS +ve blood type as the Kleihaur blood test is just to check my blood for signs of fetal blood and therefore they can only say my baby MAY be +ve OR, they did in fact screen my blood and found antibodies in which case that would prove my baby WS +ve blood type. Anyway.....I'm having blood test tomorrow and hoping I'll get results on Friday and fingers crossed they come back with NIL antibodies!!! I believe if I do show signs of them, it's a lot more monitoring of baby to see what they can do to help as my body will just fight the baby as it sees it as an invader All this from a little fall - how guilty do I feel?!
Have you had your scan yet? How you feeling now? Still not feeling pregnant? I'm not but boy am I looking it!!!
Right, MUST go and sort out Tesco order!!
