Got an early scan on the 1st of December, consultantant appointment on the 13th of December to discuss my care plan and Dating scan on the 22nd of December and a midwife is coming out to do the booking in apointment early next week! Can finally relax now

Good bloody job xx

And the injectins?

My results have come back clear apart from borderline factor v something but the midwife said they wont put me on injections as a precaution because of the risk of me needing an emergency section at some point. x

Factor vleiden deiciency its called and its a clotting disorder - prob unsurprisingly to you. If you are borderline thats something positive rather than it being full blown.

Ivegot some research articles for you

http://www.naturalchildbirth.org/natural/resources/prebirth/prebirth35.htm - theres some good stuffon natural anti clotting stuff like garlic.Ifyou aint taking jabs take some of those supplements maybe to increase chances of not clotting ok, though maybe menton em to mw too,im not trying to be naggy or 'mum' im just worried about you x

Thank you so much Mario x

Np,hope it might be of some help,if a herbal supplement helps wouldbe well worth it eh x

Yeah I'm willing to try anything! If it was up to me I'd have the injections because I think even borderline is too much of a risk, if my blood isn't working 100% normally then want it sorted, and the only thing with the section would be I'd have to have it under general, so I don't see the problem peraonally!

I'll be discussing it with the consultant to see if he can reassure me and explain porperly why I'm not having them x

Id say most def speak to consultant about it and if he dont want you having jabs see if you can try some of that stuff to reduce your risks

How are you doing at mo anyway

I'm doing ok, had a lovely day in the snow, we went up to see Ollie and built him a snowman

How are you and C? Is she still limpett like? x

Aw thas nice.

Not too bad here, c seems improved, shes eating more, still clingy but not so bad. Bp and pulse stil mental and still waiting on cadiology appt to come through post nearly 3 weeks later. Hope physio dont take so damn long

Glad she's a bit better, I suppose this weather isn't helping! Have you had any snow yet?

My bp's staying at around 130/85, I'm happy with that, still on the high side but not too bad! How important is pulse? Mines 120 at the moment and I've been sat down for a couple of hours, it's usually quite high though, is it just if it goes abnormally high to what t usually is then it's a worry?

My physio was really good, about the onl postive I can say about the hospital, i got reffered on a friday and I had the appointment through the day I had Ollie so It took 6 days including the weekend! x

Hope its gonna stay down for you. Mines 130/70 of a quiet day but can go up to 165/95. Was 170/80 yesterday so theres no rhyme or reason to it, Oddly its dumped twice to 120/40 and 110/50 - both times i felt horrendous! My resting pulse is about 105but goes up to 120 if i do anything strenuous - likeclimbingstairs! Highest ive knwn it was 147. Its not unusual in pregnancy bu they are sending meto cardiology for it because i get breathless easily with it and dizzy but referral was made 3 weeks ago and dont even have an appt date yet so like i say hopefully physio will be quicker!

Did you get some wee sticks?

Hope you appt comes soon, it's not fair to kep you waiting especially if there is a problem, you need to know!

Yeah, got pee sticks, I've continuously got + protein in my urine.

Ive been varying betwen negative-trace protein-one plus protein so bit hit and miss which is a positive thing really as its coming up negative as often as its there.

Are you working during this preg and what do you do?

I had + protein all the way though with Ollie, from the very first appointmen at 8 weeks so it worrys me a bit but I'm tryin not to stress out! My blood pressure seems higher at normal which I actually think is a good thing because the reason my pre-e wasn't spotted, well apart from the idiots no tdoing a urine check was because my blood pressure was so low in the first place.

No I'm still on maternity leave from Ollie, so I'll be running the two lots together, I'm a cleaner part time so I really don't think it will be safe to return.

I don't know what I'm doing about uni yet though, they've given me untill January off as compassionate leave but I've got the option of deferring untill next year. I'm half way through the second year though as I had to take time off becase I was so sick so if I defer then Ill have to do the first part of the second year again wheras if I go back in January I can just finish it off.

I'll be having the baby at the begining of July so it works out lovely for going back in September. I moved back home when I found out I was pregnant thouhg so uni's now an hours train ride half hour bus ride and a half hour walk away so I'm leaning towards deferring even though it means repeating things I've already done!

Id defer tbh if it were me, Im glad you are not gonna work til bubbas birth though i have to admit. If im off long term sick you def shudnt be working lol!!! Who will have babywhen your in uni and what course are you doing? Sorry im just nosy

I got docs a week 2moro abou whether or not im gong back.

I don't think you should tbh, hopefully the dr will agree with me, it's not just that your job is hard work I bet it's seriously stressfull!

I'm doing Health and Social Care when I done my ucas I couldn't decide between supported housing or social work, so with the health and social care I can convert in the third year when I've made my mind up.

Well my course is really good because instead of doing the lessons spread out over a week they cram them all into two days so it's only two full days of 9 to 6, means I'll be out of the house from 7 to 8 though. My oh works evenings and he starts at 6 so it'll mean my mother having the baby untill I come home but its only two hours twice a week and she's happy to have bubs, in fact she can't wait.

They've got a free creche on site aswell so when I'm in my third year and bubs will be oneish I mite put it in there for a day, just so it gets used to other kids
Whats going to happen with C and Awen when you go back? Will it be nursery/childminder x

Yes jo cn be v stressfl. The night i was actually sent home sick denput in the resuscitation room on my own with 3 ppl who really needed 1 to 1 care and all the docs seeing them were wanting thngs and in end i had to say to them use your hands ive only got the one pair! Plus got 7 hours into shift without a break before they let me go for a drink, and its not a one off. A and E is often like that its just usally my body can cope with it but at mo it cant. Its v physically and mentally stressful

Im not sure about C and A, i work 32.5 hours - 2x13 hour nights and an 8 hour weekend day. My mum has thurs and sundays off and my dad has sa and suns, neil gets 2 diff days every week so its a juggling act and its been known for me to jus stay up 2 days straight if i cant get childcare. Might get a CM or nursery 1 day a week but will worry about it next summer i think
