Congratulations riverside, I bet Samuel is gorgeoud despite the tear. I hope it's healing well.
knicky & somewhere, hope you are managing to struggle throught the tiredness. I did 8 night shifts in my last month at work when expecting DD, not something I'm in a hurry to repeat. I'm feeling tired but only 10 weeks, and I think it's mainly lack of sleep rather than pregnancy.
MissM, sorry about the GD, not good to have more stuff banned while you're pregnant, but at least it sounds like you're getting taken more seriously now. Have you seen the physio yet? And sorry they are being so intransigent with the employment tribunal and your pregnancy, sounds like it has been and continues to be a complete nightmare.
I seem to remember that when I was pregnant with DD that I had to keep my sample bottle, as they didn't keep giving them out, nuchal fold wasn't available on the NHS near me then either - my GP told me that the PCT had no money, that was 5 years ago so expect to have to keep the sample bottle again, though they now do nuchal fold.
I have not yet managed to get the GP, even though I'm 10 weeks tomorrow and beginning to worry I'm leaving it too late for tests at the appropriate time. I've not been able to make an advance appointment or one on the day and have phoned about 4 times. I hope to manage it tomorrow. No further discussion with DH about the situation, we haven't even mentioned it, I don't expect him to come to the scan with me, then I won't be disappointed when he says no. Otherwise we're getting on fine, so I don't know how things are going to go.
