ooh was looking at NHS crappy pregnancy book today and freaked at diagram of nearly-term fundus point just below boobs.
Getting SO fucking irritated at NHS paperwork. So, on maternity notes re birth plan (already written - call me Mrs Prepared) there's a question saying something like, "would you like to have an injection around the delivery to stop you from bleeding to death". Um, now let me think about that for a nanosecond says first time mum who doesn't know about it. FUCK NO says my birth plan, I would rather bleed to death than have anyone stick a needle into me, clamp the cord before the baby can breath properly and risk the placenta getting stuck of there leading to major surgery for no actual reason you irritating form-writers who imply that yoy may bleed to death when you won't and actually it's just a load of NHS controlling doctor interventionist crap. . Sorry - pet hate. I HATE it when the NHS "guides" people into what it wants rather than giving them the information to make up their own minds. And before anyone lectures me, I do understand the pros and cons of the injection - it's not that but the wording of the form that makes me mucho and [ranty emoticon].
Pregnancy book also suggests having sex around the 14th cycle day to maximise conception opportunity. How hard would it be to put in a paragraph about how this will change depending on cycle length and to get further information if needed rather than just stating that ovulation is around day 14 end of story.
I see a pregnancy book going into the recycling bin in my very near future. .
Current pregnancy symptoms seem to be extreme reactions to stuff . We walked past Pizza Hut the other night when they were closing and saw the manager (YES THE MANAGER) letting a bunch of balloons off into the air. YOB and I both simultaneously yelled "NOOOOOOOOO" and ran over and started ranting at the poor, bemused chap. Turns out he'd been doing it for 10 years and just never thought, what goes up, must come down, and will litter/kill animals/etc.
Other than that, not feeling tired anymore, boobs still tingly but def smaller, bloating and loo stuff gone (what looked like a bump is no longer and I fit into my biggest pre-diff trousers but not my normal jeans) and generally not feeling sick, although I felt a bit dodgy this evening. Refusing to think there's a problem so am just going with it and seeing what happens without trying to poke my boobs too much. I know that when the scan comes round I will be absolutely crapping myself but it's not until 11th Jan. I am also knicker checking like a nutter, but what can you do - I may as well just enjoy feeling well.
