Hello All
Tammy over here you only have scans at around 9-12 weeks then again at 20 weeks and that's it. Unless you are having multiples or there is any cause for concern would you be offered another scan. I start with growth scans at week 28 then they are every two weeks but that's because of the diabetes otherwise I would only have seen her at 20 weeks. I think later on if they are concerned about the size of the baby then you will be offered another scan.
Funny, I spoke to my midwife last week about measurements. They do measure and listen in to the baby but when I go to see my consultant he doesn't. She said he is going by the book. They shouldn't really start measuring you until the 28th week but if they did that then we would complain!
Again, in England you have a gulcose tollerance test at week 16 then again at week 28 - week 28 is a busy week isn't it! lol I don't have to have this as they know I have a gulcose tollerance!
Kareen I know what you mean about being bored and miserable. I have such ideas in my head but my body won't let me put them into practice. I even struggle putting the washing on now and I hate having to rely on other people to do stuff, no one does things the way I want them to but I can't complain!
Congratulations on reaching the third trimester by the way!
You shouldn't apologise for moaning, you never moan usually and our hormones are all over the place. Sleep deprevation is a killer too. I'm really struggling. Still getting up to wee every 30 minutes to an hour and in between those times Paul is snoring. I get so annoyed. We are trying really hard to keep me out of hospital but then if I'm getting no rest at home it's only a matter of time!
Hi Vita, nice to see you. You are doing at fab job at incubating those babies of yours. It's great they are all doing well, really good sizes too. You will have to set up an account for DH on here so he can give us regular up dates of you when you do go into hospital.
I'm struggling laying down as I feel I'm being suffocated by all the exceess fat I have at the moment so I can't imagine how you are feeling. You only have a couple more months of being really uncomfortable then you are going to have years and years of happiness.
Did any of you ladies in the UK see that programme on BBC last night about IVF? The couple that were having their treatment in London went to the same clinic that I did. It made me cry when I saw that room where they transfer the embryos. Brought back lots of emotions, never thought I would see inside there again!
I'm still struggling. Can't do anything, I feel like I'm disabled, it's so frustrating, seeing things that need doing but it's physically impossible for me to do it. I can't even load the washing machine now as I have to have a lay down for about an hour after!
Hannah's gone to get the girls from school today so I'm having a quiet cuppa before they come charging through the door! We got a letter yesterday, I have a week and a half to make Emma a wolf costume as that's what's she going to be at the nativity play! I don't remember there being a wolf at the birth
I've got the diabetic clinic tomorrow and they are going to get me to see the consultant to as I've been so unwell so hopefully tomorrow I may have something to report - but I doubt it!
Have a lovely evening (I know it's only 3 in the afternoon but it look like evening already!)
take care
Jo
