Due in December 05 - thread 5

[ninah]

hello - we made it!

expat my hayfever has been bad but had same with ds and gp told me i couldnt take anything...saw another thread where someone has said their gp had said they could have piriton so can we take stuff?

My gp also said there was nothing, although I've read Beconaise is ok and I was so bad a few weekends ago I did use it a few times. my gp prescribed some eye drops for me which have helped, but that was all he said was ok. I understand the wheezing bit, have also been like that at night, have had a few puffs of my dd's inhaler on a few nights.

morning ladies!!!
golden -hope all is well, we're missing you!
sweetheart have everything crossed for your scan, its going to be fine I just KNOW it. much mumsnet goodluck vibes coming your way
ninah, you always make me laugh. know exactly what you mean about uncle quentin -thats my dh often too.
minnie, well we ahve to pretty much start over buying too, never mind, its fun right? already picking nursery theme and colours -now this is the bit I like!! we are doing our christmas shopping in september/oct -at least this is my plan- so no mad stress in dec........someone remind me I said that in dec!!

TP tuesday - I'm still at 8.5 squares. I wanted to grow abit

glad it's not just me dq
I just grabbed four free 3foot by 1 foot wooden frames, the sort you used to get your school photo in. They were being disposed of from someone's office I'm either going to paint, or do four big montages for ds's new room. Will hide them from Uncle Quentin til they're on the wall tho!

We will have the Jan sales aswell!!!! yippeee Buy as little as possible and hold out for the sales LOL!!!

Well not getting enough sleep is bad for baby as well. I'm gonna try some Claritin b/c this is getting ridiculous - I wheeze all night and it takes hours to fall asleep and then it's not good quality. They offer it to pregnant women in the US, so I don't buy the 'no meds' at all routine.

Had hoped to start a new thread for this Q, but cant work out how to do this.

Does anyone who what 'Alb' on your maternity notes stand for? Its to do with Urine - there are two tests, one for Sug which I assume is Sugar, and the other for Alb, which I have no idea?

Ive got a trace of Alb - what is this>?????

crazy<

I'm fairly sure that is something to do with the extra discharge that you get during pregnancy.

I think I had it on my notes after my last scan and the nurse said it was normal to find this discharge in your urine.

I'll have to have a look at my notes and let you know for sure but I'm almost definate thats what it is.

Don't worry - it's perfectly normal!!!!

apparently it's albumen (protein) answ supplied by wigwamb on another thread
Yuk that's egg-white, right!
I spend TOO Much time on here ...

No, I think it is protein in your urine (not as in egg white in it!!) they measure it as it can be an indicator to pre-eclampsia if combined with other factors.

Our buggy came today (yes, we won the spur of the moment bid on ebay [ roll eyes ] )but its looking good and i've been wheeling it around the living room. Talk about hasty!

Worried about goldenoldie - has she posted anywhere else?

I meant to see - its not something you can see in your urine. (yuk)

GOOD GRIEF: I meant to say

They normally put little plus signs on your notes if you have it & only worry if it is combined with headache/high blood pressure/ excess swelling etc.

DOH!!!!

Guess I need to buy a pregnancy book to read !!!!!

just done a search for golden and she hasn't posted anywhere since yesterday afternoon.

Hope she's OK!!!!

now have giggles about egg white in my urine....

talking of medical notes, yesterday when seeing head Ob Dr at the hospital, he had two green folders of notes on me. looked the same aside from one said, on a big orange sticker, 'NOT TO BE PUT IN PATIENTS HANDS' and tis been bugging me ever since. so whats in those i cant see? thought the law changed so i could see them....its really bothering me now!

yeah adds a new dimension to being 'whisked' around the dancefloor

DQ - I would imagine the notes are identical but they have to make sure they keep one set themselves rather than accidentally giving you both??! Sounds stupid but wouldn't surprise me. You could always ask? The procedure to get your old notes to read is quite time consuming but you could always do it to check.

Ninah - eugh!

having something written about me without me being able seeing it, is really annoying me since i saw that sticker! just the whole 'school report' sort of feeling! so you can read yore old notes? but not the current ones? hmmmmmmmmm...one day, just for the heck of it, i may demand to do so!

can i remind you ladies it is TP TUESDAY!!, so get thsoe loo rolls out
(BTW just peeked at conceptionstores due in december board (its american)and they are mostly measuring bigger than, by several squares. i feel better now!)

(and forgive my spelling)

I expect if you ask to see the notes at an appointment the obs would let you.

I don't think i've grown since last wk but will do the TP test later - must go to pick up squids from school

still measuring 8 1/4 sheets here.

No change this week!!! Although my pelvic bones are telling a different story!! OUCH!!!

maybe you he'd tie your hands behind your back first tho!
Such quaint phraseology ...
and you're right SO blooming cheeky!

still only 7.5
