Just a bit of a moan thread really!
Feels like I'm moving in at the docs this week. My midwife sent me up the hospital on Friday because of low baby movement, even though I told her it's usual for me to not feel her very much. So had to hang around there all Friday afternoon, not overly worried as heartbeat was fine, but was there hours as they were so busy (urgh, and, this lass there with her mam and bf was a right smelly bitch, she sat next to me for a bit like it wasn't hot and unpleasant enough anyway, vommm). Got them bands on and heartbeat again was normal but they were still concerned about lack of movement so after seeing doctor and her speaking to consultant, they feel it's a good idea to have a scan to check all is ok. But with it being last thing Friday the booking woman was unable to give me a scan date as all booked up next week but I'm meant to be scanned asap so am waiting for a call tomorrow to tell me when they can squeeze me in. So I *wasn't* worried but was a bit after all that (although after that she seems to have been very active this weekend).
My glucose results came back really high so had fasting glucose test done a fortnight ago which put me at 11.0, gestational diabetes is 11.1 and above so I'm basically borderline, so am off for another one of these tests this week. The test itself is horrible cos of the drink you have to drink, I felt sick as fook after the last one so not looking forward to that. Also a bit freaked out as doctor said it can cause mammoth sized early babies, and I don't really fancy that!
I've just got my physio referral for SPD so am off to that on Friday - good news cos although I'm sure people get it far worse than me, when it's bad it's really crap!
Today I feel like I'm breathing underwater, my throat and tubes feel all gluey and it's really hard to catch my breath even though since early afternoon I've been sat on my arse.
And lastly (though I know lots of people can't sleep very well atm so you'll probably have no sympathy!), I just feel so damn tired at the moment - over the weekend when I have no work to get up for I can easily stay in bed 11-12 hours (apart from the loo trips) and only get up then cos it feels like my back's been kicked in.
I still feel really lucky to be in this position and happy that babykins is ok and excited to be meeting her soon - just a bit fed up at the moment and not looking forward to working all week feeling this tired and meh.
I'm hoping this is just a bit of a blip and I'll rock on to feeling blooming marvellous soon
- anyone else had crap weeks then went on to good times?
