Hello ladies,
I've not been on here for ages and I've just been catching up had about 12 pages to catch up with
I had an anterior placenta with my first baby and didn't feel him kicking until he was about 21 weeks (ish). So at the 12 week scan I asked where my placenta was. I think they don't tell you because if you Google anterior placenta then there are some horror stories as it can be quite dangerous depending on where it actually is, which they can't find out properly until 20week scan, so I guess that's why they leave it until then!! I'm a bit gutted that my placenta is anterior again and the sonographer said they'll have to make sure it hasn't slipped down when they do the 20week scan (or something along those lines) to ensure it's not covering my cervix!!
Everything seems to have cleared up in terms of nausea which is great!! Loads of people have started saying that I look lovely and then I tell them I'm pregnant and they're shocked!! One of my friends who I've not seen for a while said, wow you look super slim, have you lost more weight? My reply was no, I've gained weight and gained a baby
Hair dye you have to be careful with, especially with an all over colour, but I guess it's the whole they don't actually know what the risks are like alcohol consumption, so it's up to you! Any good hairdresser will advise you to get a patch test done first, but are happy to do it! I had my hair done throughout my first pregnancy, but had to have a patch test 48hrs before each session! I've not had it done yet this time, but I am in desperate need of it soon!!
I still haven't bought anything yet, but I defo feel that time is going really fast! Our plan is to get a going home outfit after the 20 weeks scan!!
I've had a bit of the run around with midwives and GPS rtf last week. I was experiencing some pain in my right side and was concerned it was to do with the large cyst they Found. So rang the midwife care team, who told me to ring the hospital, who said they'd ring back asap (it was 7.45am when I rang) I rang them at lunch and they'd only just seen my query and had to catch a consultant to have a look. They said there wasn't a lot they could do, but if it got worse to ring GP. So I rang GP who said that they can't do anything and then gave me the phone number of the antenatal clinic, who then gave me the number of the people I rang at 7.45 in the morning! So basically I spent the whole bleeding day trying to get someone to look at me, but they were all not 9nterested and told me to take paracetamol and wait until the pain got worse. The only person that actual sounded concerned was the woman who mistook my 14 weeks pregnant as 40 weeks pregnant!! But she then was like 'ring the Labour ward if you're in pain, as it's probably labour' that's when I realise that she misheard my 14 weeks.
It's so exciting to see everyone's gender reveals and how excited you all are. We've been telling grandparents (ours) this weekend and they are super excited and ask8ng when we will find out what we're having!! Dan's cousins have 4 kids between them and they've all found out what they were having whereas were the black sheep who haven't
