November 2020 Mummies

[Jen87]

Thanks. I have my blood test in a couple of weeks. Can’t currently book any doctors appointment unless an emergency, so guess I will just have to wait

Hi Kelly and welcome! Sorry to hear you are feeling so poorly. Make sure you eat well and drink plenty of fluids. Have lots of rest. Call your midwife for advice if symptoms persist or worsen x
When’s your due date? X

 

[EmilyMaria]

I suppose I can email them. I honestly think I won't go if I'm not allowed D.

Take an ipad and facetime hubby during the whole thing. I could not imagine that they would deny you that?

I'm 11 weeks today and baby is apparently the size of a lime now! Seems like a big jump from a strawberry but there we go

Do you guys have apps that tell you the sizes? I think it's amusing how each one says different things.

Haha yes, hubby and I were both having a laugh about this. I do not believe I have seen many watermelon sized babies out there... and god forbid if that was actually true.

Haha yes. I got ‘tart kumquat’ the other day!

I don't even know what that is at least i'm getting fruit I've heard off

I had to Google it! I’d heard of a kumquat before (though can’t imagine the size) but I think a tart one might be a specific genus. Very American! Haha.

Had a call from hospital this morning asking if I have any symptoms of Covid-19 and to say OH can't come Monday, which I knew anyway xx

That sucks. Is it just that he can’t come into the room or that he can’t be there at all? I can’t get to the hospital unless D takes me as I can’t drive.

He isn't going to come into the hospital at all. But he is going to come with me and stay in the car as I've read somewhere that if they need to tell you any bad news your partner can come in xx

 

[CharliC]

It sucks partners can't come to the scan, I think having them there in the carpark is a good idea, I'm trying to persuade my OH to do that (mostly because I'm not sure I can drive myself without stopping every 5 mins to vomit) and if it's bad news then he can drive me home. But he's very practical and doesn't want to waste his time sitting in a car when she should be working

 

[CrazyChic]

It's nice to think you have that extra support waiting outside just incase. Hopefully this will be all over before the 20week scans xx

 

[SockVortex]

The main problem I have is that I don’t know how I’ll react if it’s bad news. As an autistic person I lack the filter that holds my emotions in check. D is the only one who knows how to calm me down if I have a meltdown.

They won't tell you anything if your OH is with you if they are waiting outside xx

 

[BevG]

i think they may have to make an exception if its because of your autism. id ring them and explain

But if they tell me I have to go and get D then I automatically know it’s really bad :/

I’ve emailed them as I don’t use phones. Hopefully they’ll reply on Monday

i also really dislike phone convos. i would totally have emailed or texted etc first. luckily i can force myself. its things like that that are the reason they should let you have your hubby there, they have to make allowances for that sort of thing

[SockVortex]
