Nervous!!

[Vickyleigh]

I've got an appointment with the midwife this afternoon and after the last time I saw her and that horrible student I am so nervous! It's silly because I shouldn't be scared of them. My mind has been going into paranoia overdrive because of what she said last time, she said the baby is the right size now but wants to keep an eye on her growth just in case!! On the plus side she said that she'll see how the babys growth is at this appointment and she may want to send me for a growth scan so i'll get to see the baby

Dont let her spoil your pregnancy hunny. I wouldnt worry too much about what she says about size of baby. If she thinks baby is a bit on the small size then you will be checked out and get to see your LO again
Hope it all goes well for you sweetie

Another thing thats worrying me a bit is not last night but thenight before my heart was really pounding hard and fast so I took my pulse and it was 104!! I felt dizzy and a little bit iffy but I've only had it that one time so i'm sure its nothing to worry about.

Mention it at your appointment hunny, you may have a heart murmur brought on by pregnancy (I found out a few weeks ago that I have a heart murmur after going to docs with racing heart and dizziness)

I get this sometimes, my heart skips a beat or races and takes my breath away, it's just something that happens maybe when you have over done it a bit thats how it seems to happen to me, just mention it... im sure baby is fine but be good if you get to see little one again

Good luck Vick, don't let the bint get ya down eh?

Thanks girls. I'm going to tell her how worried I have been since I last saw her and when I got dressed this morning I put on a top that hides my bump, well it doesn't hide it but it makes it look smaller then it is! I really really want her to send me for another scan, mainly so I can stop worrying about every little thing or the next 9 weeks.

Don't let this MW spoil your pregnancy Vicki. If you aren't happy with the way she talks to you or the advice she gives why not just go to your GP instead? That's what I do since my MW seems to be permanently absent.

Hope all goes well at the appt.

How did your appointment go anyways?

 

[Vickyleigh]

Just got back and it was alot better then last time!
I'm not getting my growth scan because she said I don't need one. She said the baby is perfectly fine and there is nothing wrong with her growth she is exactly how she should be.
I told her I have been stressing myself out about it and that I am always worrying that something is wrong with the baby and she said I need to stop getting so stressed out because the baby is fine and everything else is ok with me so there are no problems at all so there is no need for me to be getting myself worked up. Urine is all ok so are my blood results. She wants to see me in 2 weeks instead of 3 but that is just for my own peace of mind so this time round I can happily say that I am very pleased with the midwife and it was the same one that I hated seeing last time.
I really wanted a scan to see the baby again but I understand that it is a good thing that she didn't want me to have one so I am just so very flippin' happy that the baby is ok.

Aw glad it went well hunny and LO is perfect!

You can relax now and not worry when your next appointment comes round

I'm glad you got the reassurance you needed about the baby's size.
