Ah so exciting KHTW. I'm waiting on a consultant appointment think within the next week - does anyone know if I'll have another scan at the appointment? Do they tend to do scans every consultant appointment or maybe just see a consultant? Haven't got the letter yet but be nice to know xx

 

[KHTW]

Jem it depends on why you are seeing the consultant. If I remember correctly I got 2 extra growth scans last time. Mine is due to me having rheumatoid arthritis and they put it down as immune system disorder. It doesn't effect the baby but they still like to check if all is ok x

 

[JemRose]

Mine is due to high BMI and also because I had an autoimmune condition when I was 4 and also more recently a couple of years ago had an instance of high pressure in the fluid around my brain (which makes me prone to pre eclampsia) xx

I'm really struggling sleeping now as i can't get comfy. I usually sleep on.my side bit lean more on my stomach but now there's a bump there I can't.

Thanks everyone for the congratulations messages

Good luck with your scans today.

Flowerbomb I am the same, really struggling to sleep, i usually am a back sleeper or tummy, so I'm trying to get used to sleeping on my side, prooving hard!! I've actually ordered myself a pillow so I'm hoping it will help me and stop me turning onto my tummy. xx

Ah Flowerbomb, I feel your pain. I've been like that for weeks now but did sleep fairly well last night for about 5 hours which felt amazing.

I have my first consultant appointment on 18th Jan JemRose. No idea what to expect. I've had the letter since early December and it says nothing other than where to go.
I'm pretty sure I'll have an MRI again at some point so that she can see how my pelvis and back currently look. To be honest, I'm just looking forward to getting some help with managing the pain and finding out why I get this dead/painful leg thing that starts in my groin. I'm sure it's related to my pelvis as it's only the left side and I had very poor management when I actually had the fall/crush injury, where the horse landed on my left hip/pelvis.

Anyway, I have my first physio appointment today so am looking forward to that and hope I get some good exercises.

Pub us going Well, new menu has started and there's a real buzz about it so fingers crossed, that will translate to profit soon so that I can get some help, lol.

I just had my apppitment for consultant come through 15 mins ago. It doesn't even tell me which hospital to go to! Ugh.
With dd my consultant was completely useless! She didn't even check my 28 blood results, the midwife was like you have low iron she should ahev gave you prescription :/ hope I don't get her again, literally waited hours after my appointment time to have a literally 2 min appointment for her to say everything's fine, bye. Lol. I had 2 extra growth scans aswell.

Dd would not sleep last night, the only way she would sleep was her face pressed against mine on her tummy on my belly :/ after 2 hours fianlyl let me put her on my pillow but not in her crib so I barely had sleep last night.

Check with your midwife but if your pregnancy is going well and you're declared fit to travel I think it's fine. Dublin is only an hour or so. EasyJet let you fly until 26 or 27 weeks I think, other airlines are prob the same.. I think if you're showing you might need a fit for travel note from the doc xx

Congrats Sarah on the engagement! What a lovely start of the year! Also, congrats BP and KHTW on the scans, cant wait for mine on Monday!!

I actually feel a little better today, nausea is not as bad and I actually can eat a little! I hope this continues now and I don't get it back worse than ever like last time.

Have you ladies started to buy baby stuff yet? I have lots from my DD but since its a boy this time I need to get a lot of new things.. Also, was thinking of moving DD into our bigger guest room ( will be her room ) and have the little fella in DD's room. Problem is its quite girly so will have to redecorate! Lots to think about. Its not too bad since I went more for a safari/animal theme which can suit both but some stuff is quite pink so have to change that

Sarah, as other people have said it should be fine if your pregnancy is progressing normally. Each airline has its own "Pregnancy Policy" so have a look at them. Some are up to 25 weeks, others are 28. After their limits you then need a fit to fly letter from your midwife.

I had my scan this morning and all is fine! Such a relief and an incredible feeling seeing baba for the first time. I tried to upload a photo from my phone but it's too big and I've no idea how to change the size on it. They said baby is measuring as due date coming out three days later than what I originally thought, so 20th July.

You are Ok to travel at any point (obviously not at 38 weeks lol) but if it is later on in pregnancy you will need a fit to travel note signed by Midwife x

Think that's it now!

It went well thank you. I was given the option to choose elective c-section due to last labour being a difficult one. I will have to think long and hard about it!!! But I think for my own safety and more important the safety of the baby I may go for the c-section x

Hello lovely baby!!! x
