Gender scan Monday - just thrown up!!!

[claire671]

So glad you made it to the mw, eek about the urine result but hope its just a wee uti that can be cleared up with some antibiotics. Hope you're doing well xxx

 

[cosmicgirl]

Thanks hun, in thinking it must be a uti, can't think what else it could be xx

 

[maybe baby]

Ooh FX for the pee results, drink plenty of water and cranberry juice!

xx

 

[cosmicgirl]

I don't think I've ever given in a pee sample that hasn't been loaded with baddies, I get this every pregnancy x

 

[Amyrose]

In still suffering with mine and I'm almost done my antibiotics I think your like my long lost twin sister from another mr lol
So happy you saw the mw well done you x

 

[cosmicgirl]

Were your wee results similar AR?? Did you have those things?? xx

 

[cosmicgirl]

Bit worried about the protein??? The other stuff is probably a uti x

 

[Amyrose]

I had +++ protein and blood and I can't remember the other stuff (I'm not budging off this comfy couch) I had to go see the doc the same day to get antibiotics. I had burning when I peed that morning and felt unwell and had cramping. Did they prescribe you anything they should have done. I haven't heard back from the lab but they are so slow here it's unreal. Sure they will tell me Monday when I see the consultant. When your bp is ok protein is another symptom of a uti but they will still keep an eye on you x

 

[cosmicgirl]

I have to ring the GP tomorrow afternoon as they say this is when the results will be back from the lab.
They haven't prescribed anything today though xx

 

[Amyrose]

They all work so differently don't they. I suffer from uti alot when pregnant and have always been prescribed antibiotics as a precaution. This time they call me a geriatric grand multiple I honestly want to punch them when they say it, I'm sure it shows all over my face as I'm crap at hiding my feelings lol x

 

[cosmicgirl]

Omg, that sounds like an insult! I'm sure they could come up with a nicer name!!
I must admit I've always got something or other in my wee, it's not out of the ordinary for me.
I'll be anaemic next, that's usually the next thing to piss me off during pregnancy x

 

[Amyrose]

If I get anymore anemic I wont have any blood lol that's why I'm seeing the consultant Monday. If I have to tell all there is anything else wrong with me I'm sure he will smother me with a very large pillow Hahahaha x

 

[Gayle30]

I had protein in my urine last week at my 16 week check, but I wasn't prescribed anything. I've to go back on Thursday to do another sample and see the consultant about the other things.....I'm the same as you AR, scared they say get a grip! Lol.....I have a horrible big cyst and ME and being pregnant is not easy on my body. Yet I'm bursting with excitement. So least I'm not complaining I'd say....tho bet they see it different! Will al be worth it very soon for us though. Xxx

 

[Hope81]

Hey cosmic sorry to hear you have a urinary infection. I hope you get a treatment soon for that.
How are you feeling otherwise?
Thinking of you

 

[cosmicgirl]

I actually feel ok. I haven't cried since Sunday, which was just briefly talking to my mum about it on the phone.
I think I'm holding up well at the moment.
Hoping to see my counsellor this week at some point. I do feel a lot better than last week xxx

Wow... Iv just read this thread from start to finish... And I have tears in my eyes. Being honest at 1st I couldn't believe what I was reading, I couldn't understand how someone could feel like you did. But reading your thread has really opened up my eyes, and I think you are such a brave person for admitting this... And dealing with it. So many people suffer pnd etc after birth and it never even occurred to me that it could be to do with gender. There's nothing I can say to make you feel any better. But I hope it's some comfort to know that from just reading this it's very clear you love your baby and will be a great mum. And that you really have made more people aware of this situation. Im a great believer that things happen for a reason... You maybe can't see it now, but one day you will realise why you have your own mini football team xxxx

 

[cosmicgirl]

Thanks lolly, that's very kind xx

 

[Twinklets]

I'll admit i didnt really understand at all GD and i did think ' but she has a healthy baby' i dont understand why she is disapointed, but reading through your thread, it is a very real condition that i never knew existed and think you very brave to talk about it so honestly. I think my sil may have a touch she has 2 boys and found out she is expecting another boy, she said she had to find out the sex at the time so she could get used to the fact if it was another boy. I thought she was just being silly maybe not eh!

 

[cosmicgirl]

Thanks hun, it is very real and not really spoken about as openly as other issues in pregnancy.
The whole "healthy baby" thing is a real issue for me. Everyone wants a healthy baby, it goes without saying, yet why do people feel the need when asked what gender they are hoping for need to tag on "i dont mind - as long as its healthy", "either will be great - as long as its healthy"??? It just seems like a given to me. I have noticed over the years just how many ladies answer in this way.
So when people say to me "as long as your baby is healthy", it just washes over me, that's obvious and doesn't need to be vocalised.
Another thing that grates on me is "you should be thankful for what you've got", erm excuse me, when did I ever say I wasn't thankful??? Again, lack of understanding of GD. I'm upset about what I HAVENT got, not what I have!! xx

 

[Twinklets]

i totally understand....my birth went textbook two healthy babies but it wasnt the birth i wanted i was strapped to the bed, forced an epidural that didnt work my babies were took straight away from me my dh didnt cut either cord and i have no pictures of twin 1 when he was born. i grieve for what i didnt get, the birth i had in my head was not what i got. The 'healthy baby' comment i totally understand im upset for what i didnt get not what ive got. Thats the way i can relate to it does that make sense?
