Glad to see you Steph1. How did you get a nutritionist appt? Is that through your OB?

Had midwife appt earlier - all is well, right size, heartbeat good - they found trace of protein in my waters - anyone know what this is?? They weren't worried so didnt ask but now wondering!

later nimsx
nims, protein can be an early sign of pre-eclampsia. If its just a trace and you're blood pressure's ok then its not a problem but they should monitor it. May sure you put your feet up if your ankles swell, drink plenty to avoid fluid retention and let them know if you get any other swelling (hands etc).

I have an appt tomorrow. Do you think it is too early to find out the sex???

You girls have been way too busy on here and having too much fun!! Stop. From here on out you can only have fun (this includes bow chik a bow wow) when I am online. Got it!!?

Oh my. Too much time on yalls hands. This is such a busy time of the semester for me sooo many papers to grade... so little time!
I know Mia, it is just not on all this fun w/out us!! how dare they....

Think they can tell the sex from 20wk scan but you never know maybe they can tell earlier - i know in my appt schedule they said thats when to ask for me - but may be each country is different...... you can only ask - good luck hun xx

Hey Su - thanks for that, as they weren't worried then I won't either - blood pressure was ok - infact mine is always low - and no swellling either.

Are you finding how people like to comment on your size - your either 'wow your big' or 'uumm a bit small' - as much as i'm proud of my bump I'd wish people would keep their opinions to themselves..... I had a security guy poke me the other day - was like WTF - I was too stunned to say anything and then he had the blimmin cheek to say how big i was..... since when have security guards been trained in midwifery!!! arrrgghhh....

Peq - great to see you hun - can't believe you have to wait til 5th june - is that your 20wk scan?? Good news on the boss front - did they take it ok??

Steph - your symptons will subside but yeah very scary but its natural and then you can get on and enjoy - unfort i didn't have many - only sore b@@bs - your little munchkins are settling in for the duration thats all

Hope - hey so the m/s still there then! Poor love - you must have my share too - sorry!!

Ok Mir you can stop rubbing it now - we get it - your going on vacation - look there are plenty of spare sunbeds for all of us to join you !!!

Wishful - have a few drinks tonight - it will make it a little bearable!! Only 6 more sleeps - yeeeeaaahhh - roll on next week for you.

Angie - hope you haven't worked too hard - would be a shock for the system :wink: :wink: and what no Angel today???

Mia - yeah we hate you for those llbs lost but they will back! :lol:

Yep, I know just what you mean, I enjoyed the comments at first but it was really starting to get to me at work the other day. I'm proud of my bump too but I don't appreciate being made to feel I'm bigger than I should be by now. The last 2 pregnant women in my dept were both stick thin before they conceived and had nice, neat little bumps. I'm just average build and have a more all-round bump. Hopefully that means I'm having a girl as they both had boys :wink:

yup it was set thru my OB...cuz they are CONVINCED I am gonna have GD cuz of my fat arse! Yeh that is why they tried to KILL me with that 3hr glucose test! Even the nutritionist was like OMG you aren't even close at this point to being diabetic....YEAH I KNOW!!! Grrr. Anyways, I found it kinda pointless. Oh sure if I had a job that I could #1 keep food in a fridge so I can take things that need to be cold, or #2 actually had a job where I COULD EAT, then sure it would help! But she wants me to take dairy, cheeses, and eat 3 meals/snacks while at work alone! Well shit, I am lucky if I can even get a few mouthfuls of ANYTHING...anyways, I'm just like grrr!

Got to talk to the doc on the phone too. She said she didn't see anythign previously about a fibroid in my cervix. I was like well the report from 2/4 sais something about one. She was like oh I will go back and look...yeh good plan. She said well you have an apt in about 1-2 weeks right? I was like no, they didn't schedule me for 5 whole weeks despite me telling them you wanted me in at 4. She told me to call em and have em get me in for 2 weeks out so they can check me. So I did..next apt is May 9 now instead of the 22nd...stil no scan though til June 5th. They scheduled me again with the only doc I've ever seen where as my apt on the 22nd was with a different person on the team. I was told in the beginning I'd have apts with all the people on the team (I think there is 5 or 6)...well I keep meeting with her. I dunno kinda bothers me I haven't met with anyone else if that was the idea. Oh well, guess today I'm just kinda moody..go figure!


When's your apt??? Early? I work at 2 so you better be here early to report young lady!

June 5th is like my 20 week scan but I think I will only be like 19...let me count...yup 19. And the boss thing went very well I believe! I HAD to tell em...my belly is NOT hidable anymore! Not even close!!! I swear the kid is laying horizontally from my spine to my belly button! :shock:

How about "The PeriPregnancy Club"

Peri - latin for all around, which would include before during and after.

(and i know you will :wink: )

THANK GOD i haven't seemed to notice any "raging *****" hormones coming out as a side affect (i do that quite well on my own thank you!!!) just a few hot flashes during the night hours - so i guess i'm lucky!! i SWEAR i can feel my ovaries "working" ---- actually kind of strange cuz i feel similar to when i was on injectibles - stimming for IVF.....crazy......just going crazy!!!

Hey ICSI! I am definitely hanging on for dear life on this thread, j/k, really I am enjoying you posts!!!

TGIF is right!! today is a bad friday at my job though. we are having lay offs and I am sitting outside an office where some of the people are being told. It so sucks!! I am really looking forward to this day being over and I don't have any meetings today so I will be at my PC working and listening... :cry:

stephjim - good luck at you appt. can't wait to hear, keep that PMA going. I know everything will be great!!

Mir - I am still sooooooooooo jealous!! enjoy your vacation!!

Welsh - come on those little eggies!! I was never on clomid or anything. DH's swimmies are so bad we had to go straight to ISCI, so I can't help with the symptoms you are feeling but I figure the more the merrier right!!

Too all I missed..have a FAB U LOUS FRIDAY OR SATURDAY if you might be a day ahead of the US :o)
