I hope all is ok sunflower.

My midwife has just text me saying that my appointment at 10.30 has been double booked and can I go in at 11.20 instead? I know these things happen but I already felt bad about being out of work most of the morning and now I’m going to be out until early afternoon. If they’d let me know yesterday I could have gone in this morning and finished early for the day. I was looking forward to this first appointment and now I’m all wound up about it!

Mine got completely canceled this week at the last minute. I think this happens alot with midwives. Can you take it as a day of leave?

It’s so last minute that I’m still expected to go in really. I’m just glad that I told my manager even though it’s so early so at least she knows I’m not pulling a fast one. It’s just frustrating.

How are you this morning?

Just waiting for my scan on monday morning now to see if I'm still pregnant. Hope it goes well with the midwife. x

Good luck with your scan today sunflower! Will be thinking of you x

I think I’m having a bit of a panic. I’m off work I’ll with a heavy cold, and all my nice pregnancy symptoms now just feel like cold symptoms and I keep thinking maybe it’s not real after all I’m hoping I get my letter through with my scan appointment soon so I can at least have something to count down too

Glad all went well Moomin, good luck for today Sunflower!

I'm nervous today for 2 reasons, first being, I start night's for the first time since my bfp, 7 nights of 11 hour shifts and I already feel awful. Tired and nauseas 24/7, doesn't help that nobody at work knows. And then I have my booking in appointment with the midwife tomorrow which i should be super excited about, but I'm dreading it as I know I'm overweight (obese by bmi standards) and I'm absolutely dreading what the midwife will say to me

Anyway, that's my moan, hope everyone else is doing ok xx

Sorry I've been quiet ladies... Been a bit of busy week!

Had my booking in appointment last Wednesday. I am officially high-risk, due to my BMI being 44 (embarrassing!) and my previous birth being an emergency caesarean. I'm going to be consultant led as well as midwife-led, which isn't too bad as it means I get a few more appointments and extra scans. I am however worried about the increased risk of gestational diabetes!

I've been prescribed a higher dose folic acid to take until I am 13 weeks and a higher dose vitamin D/calcium tablet, which I have to take every day for the remainder of my pregnancy.

I tried to discuss the likelihood of a natural labour, with the way my previous birth went, but the midwife kept brushing me off saying "you'll probably have a planned section" which is really disappointing as if there was no real medical reason why I couldn't birth naturally, I did want to try and have a VBAC. I'm really scared of having another section, as it took me 5 months to heal last time and mentally, it destroyed me.

Symptoms have been mild, which has left me a little paranoid like most of us when our symptoms lessen! Odd light cramping/stretching feeling, I've had a slight headache over the weekend but I think that's because I've gotten lazy with drinking water and I seem to be getting MORE nauseous. Still not being sick, but the sick feeling is getting worse.

Just waiting to find out when my dating scan is now!

Is anyone else on their second pregnancy who had a c-section last time? Will you be trying for a VBAC?

I've not experienced it myself but I have many friends who had c sec with first and went on to have perfectly safe VBAC. I think if you explain how much it affected you the first time round, physically and mentally, they can hopefully consider VBAC, or at least give you a good enough reason why they won't xx

I will be classed as high risk as well - so will be consultant led. Well that's what they told me last year at my booking-in appointment (just before we lost it). Due to my age - now 42, and the fact that my first son tore me quite badly (3rd degree tear) so they wont risk my tearing in the same place again as it would unrepairable this time... gulp! So a C-section for me this time too... but as you say more appointments etc..
