I do wake up occasionally feeling nauseous but it soon passes when I have breakfast so maybe I'm just hungry lol. Then again I never had morning sickness so I wouldn't know what it's like.
My pram just arrived!! My MIL said it's bad luck to have the pram in the house before the baby so I had it delivered to my mums, but I'm itching to go play with it!

It is very odd Rachy, and it's so annoying as I had morning sickness really bad in the early stages of my pregnancy. You are lucky Podpie for never having it 
.
Aww yeah my pram is at my mums because of all this bad luck if you have it in your own home. I went and had a play a few weeks back but it's not the same as having it here. Mind you saying that I have no idea where it's going to live in my place as storage is super limited!! X

Aw have you Podpie! Can you not go have a play round your mums? We got ours delivered to ours, had a play then took it to MILs. What did you go for in the end?
It is annoying Sarah! I want to go out too but am worried about being physically sick! That would not look cool!
About the limited space, we are very limited and use every book and cranny in our home. We have decided to keep the buggy in the boot of the car. But while I'm recovering from the section it'll be kept in our hallway (albeit tight!) xx

Yes I'll join you on the nausea .....what fun! It's intermittent for me and strikes at all times of day and night, I just have to eat little and often and it helps.
Valentine's presnts..... Not sure yet might get some sexy boxers lol! And obviously a card! Anyone else getting any gifts for their OHs?

We went for the sola city travel system. I might drag OH down to my mums at the weekend to have a play with it. I know that as soon as I get it I'll be wanting my baby to go in it though lol! It'll make me So impatient!
I've told OH not to expect a Valentine's gift this year. I've got him a card but I don't have enough money for a present and probably won't be bothered to go into town beforehand to get one anyway lol. We're not planning anything either, just going to bring the duvet down and watch movies and eat chocolate. He's told me ill get a takeaway if I'm lucky lol.

Ladies I need you advice please!
My community midwife has disappointed me a bit and I could also tell she was busy. I phoned for my blood results (they had messed up the first lot so its taken 2 weeks for this test to be done when it should have taken a couple of days). basically my iron levels were at 96 and despite increasing my dose have stayed at 96 for the last 6 weeks or so-they were 95. It was my consultant (or one of her team I've never seen the same one twice) that ordered the test along with B12 too. The consultant said I may need iron injections if the levels haven't improved. So my midwife's words today were 'ahh they are at 96 the same as before, that's ok then' So I explained to her they wanted them higher and what they had said. So she said wait for the next consultant appointment to discuss it which is the end of feb! Whats the bloody point!! I'm supposed to be having baby two weeks after that, which isn't time to right the iron levels as it takes a few weeks. So should I just live with this?
Im so tired and breathless because of all this, and I also know there is a risk of needing a transfusion after labour etc.
So my next question to her was about fetal movements. baby normally has a good long moving session when me and hubby sit down after tea, and it lasts about 20 mins. Then he has another session before bed lasting the same. Then at breakfast he will go for it again. But since last night he has been only kicking sporadically and singular like one here and one there not his usual session. I am pretty stressed at the moment as we are moving next week but I am worried that he seems a little quiet. So I run it past my midwife who said not to worry as long as I felt him kick thats fine??!! Is it fine? I dont know what to beleive now...

I think Demaris, she sounds a bit dismissive probably as you say she was busy which is no excuse.
Why don't you get yourself down to fetal and maternal assessment unit? I think others call it triage (I'm not all up with the lingo!) I think if you have concerns then you have them for a reason and don't ignore them. Go and get seen to and tell them about your concerns including about the iron levels!

Bypass the midwife if you're not comfortable with her answers and get you and your baby checked out if you feel you need to. It may be that everything is fine but the peace of mine it will give you is worth it.
When I had reduced movements I skipped phoning my midwife because u couldn't find her number, so I phoned the day assessment unit directly and they asked me to come in and be monitored. Turned out baby had just moved position so I wasn't feeling his movements as easily as before, but it put my mind at rest and as soon as I stopped stressing out I felt a lot better.
Good luck!

Demaris I think that's awful of the midwive, neglectful I think, you should complain......although Personally I would actually phone and leave a message with your consultant and ask what they think the action should be regarding your iron levels. I think it's wrong to leave it that late when they could be doing something now! What were your results of the b12??
My midwive is harping on about increasing my levels still and yet I'm at 106 now so technically low risk.
I would also speak to triage about the movements, any reduced movements should be taken with regard, have you tried all the usual- rest up for an hour and have a fizzy drink and chocolate.?
Best of luck hun, try not to stress about it just give them a call. Stupid midwive.x

Thank you ladies
I just phoned triage and explained about the blood results. She put me on hold for ages came back and basically community midwife messed up again and only took iron levels and NOT B12 and something else as requested! grr! So they have asked me to go up this afternoon (I didn't get around to telling them about fetal movements and he is kicking now). So now I am stressed because they want me to go in today and not wait. One extreme to another! My anxiety is hitting the roof now thinking they found something and aren't telling me. Arrgh! Anyway, hubby coming home from work so I'd better go get ready. xx

Awww hun, sounds like midwive has just royally messed up...lm sure they are not withholding things, just trying to get things sorted, as like you say your weeks on now and still none the wiser with your b12/ iron levels and it would be better all round if things were sorted. Good luck demaris xxx

I think the hospital are probably just wanting to put your mind at rest, as opposed to anything else! Glad they're seeing you today, and hopefully will come away from the hospital feeling a bit better!
I'd put in a complaint about your midwife though, as it sounds a bit neglectful to me! Xx

Aww Demaris hope you get it all sorted at the hospital. Not that i've needed to yet, but if i have any problems i have to phone straight to the delivery suite. My number for the midwives is a community one, so 99% of the time they are not even in the office, good number to give patients ay!! If you do leave a message its always a different midwife that calls you back.
I have just got back from my MW app 36+4 today. My BP is high so instead of seeing her every 2 weeks i now have to see her every week, and she said baby is back to back. I've got to invest in a ball and do some bouncing, and apparently try and read magazines on all 4's. Anyone else had a back to back baby and one that's turned? She also said something about my LO's head being engaged, i can't remember by what amount as after she told me baby was back to back and it could mean a longer labour and more of an urge to push, my thoughts went all over the place! xx

Ah thanks Hun I thought you mentioned it earlier. I've ordered myself a ball . Am I meant to just bounce on it lol i I'll have to google. She also said if I want to use a ball in labour I've got to take my own. Apparently my hospital had loads of gym balls, and quite a long time ago at another hospital someone was on one in labour but it popped!! So she said they now can't use gym balls and after getting rid of all them they only had 2 birthing balls left. I'm like great... When I go into labour I really am going to look like I'm moving in to the hospital lol xx
