    Hahaha the last time i was in the hospital for my routine check i had ben with me (18 months) i was having the first gtt done and would be there for an hour before i got in to see the doc after the blood test..

    in fairness the blood test only took about 5 mins but it was the waiting for the lucozade to do it's magic.. when we came back ben was a little bored so i took him out of the buggy and then had to run round after him.. :D and he's fast.. up and down the corridors and one of the midwives was winding him up by jumping out from behind the desk and he thought it was hilarious..

    this went on for about 20 mins and then i was called into see the doc.. she took my bp and of course it was high.. i was sweating a little cos it was a warm day and i'd been running after ben.. i looked like i should be admitted :eek: they did all the things they do and then asked me to wait 15 mins sitting quietly and have my bp done again before they'd let me go home :D

    to top it off the baby was doing houdini and they couldn't find the heartbeat .. she was asking me had i felt movement in the last hour.. i had .. loads.. she looked at me like i was lying:rolleyes: i was hoping that they'd send me for a scan but after about 5 mins they found it.. in my bellybutton.. after i told them 5 mins previously thats where he usually hangs out .. :eek:
    I'll be on nursing duty tomorrow. . .my husband is going for the SNIP. . yay :D hahahaha...

    Mine thinks I'm joking about the snip cbyrd...he'll realise soon enough when he's not allowed anywhere near me "just in case"!!! This is our last baby for sure!!! Hope it goes ok for him :-)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,893 ✭✭✭Hannibal Smith


    haahaa that always makes me laugh, it's like baby's trying to wind them up! I think the doctors should check their own bp once in a while because they seem very on edge to me :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,214 ✭✭✭cbyrd


    Yeah and then you get the doctor who sighs over your weight while their sitting on a fair amount of extra pounds themselves :rolleyes: :D

    Anyway the snip is done and fair play he's not complaining too much... everytime he tries i say delivery... times 3 :D and another to go

    I'd say the best €695 ever spent.. we'll know by december.. i didn't realise those little bugger sperm lived so long in there.. 4 - 6 months before he can get the all clear. . that'll be november and i'll only be about 4 - 6 weeks after delivery and there is no way on this gods green earth he'll be near me at that stage :D
    9 weeks and 5 days left . . . or 11

    Cbyrd,

    You just gave me the best laugh I have had in ages. Sure you dont want to go again. I know a girl who had a 22 & a8 month and is 6 montths gone with her 3rd child. She sent him for the snip just after she had the last baby and low and behold she still got cought and the first time they had sex after she had the last baby. She was in total shock when she found out. He is like I had the snip and for nothing!!!

    Hi Ladies, I'm transfering over here from the ttc thread. I'm 4weeks +1, I just got my positive test on Thursday and it's only just starting to sink in now:o. I'm both nervous and excited about the weeks ahead as this will be my first baby. All going well I should be due on March 30th :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 223 ✭✭KayTee


    Congrats to you ms2011, all the best for the coming months!

    Caroline I can't believe that! Guess it really does take a few months to get rid of the swimmers. That would be something that would happen to me.

    Have heard of 4 baby girls born in our little village since last Saturday - there'll be some competition for boys in a few years time!

    Hi All,

    Im 15 weeks and 2 days! biggrin.gif i think i am experiencing round ligament pain. I now have a bump that is noticeable when i wear certain clothes. sometimes the pain is either at my left lower side or right lower side but its bad when it comes. sometimes lasts for a while then is suddenly gone only to return with a sudden stabbing. other times it comes and goes. sometimes i feel perfectly pain free and then its suddenly killing me. is this normal? anyone any ideas?

    visited doc last monday and i heard the heart beat biggrin.gif

    Yeah, I get that. Not so much on my first, but am getting it a lot this time around. It's usually only if I stand up suddenly, or if I walk to fast and usually settles down after I get into my stride or stop for a bit.

    Boobs are really sore and getting more sore by the day :( but other than that I'm fine.
    Not really much to do at this stage, I'm finished work in 3 weeks so I'll pay my doctor a visit then and get the ball rolling on hospital visits etc. Until then just resting and taking my vits and folic acid :)

    You think that's bad, I'm stuck in work with the Bubble Guppies theme tune going round and round in my head :(:D

    Hilarious! I've started to have a constant soundtrack of incidental music from kids' shows in my head - mostly it's the 'dramatic music' from Ben & Holly, the bit they play when something scary or dangerous happens (my life consists of pulling the 2-yr-old out of mischief). That and the 'show me show me' theme song. Think we need to get rid of the telly. Bump will be born knowing the words to the Jimmer Jammer song!

    That is so funny :D I'm just imagining you running around after the 2 year old whilst the jelly flood music is playing :D:D

    I actually had a [very intellectual ;)] debate with a friend the other week over which bed time song was better, Jimmer Jammers or Land of Dreams, I went with Jimmer Jammers, she went with the other and we got really into it! It used to be who was our favourite member of Take That, Robbie or Gary :o:D

    Oh best of luck crazyginlady (love the username!).

    Well I just got my blood test results back and I'm not immune to Rubella, crap! I'll have to be careful for the next while (still in my 1st trimester when rubella is the most damaging).

    Strangely enough I'm immune to toxicoplasmosis...I mustn't have been as hygeinic as I thought with our pet cats when I was a kid!

    It's funny, I read a stat that over 90% of women in Paris have immunity, but less than 30% in New York do. Maybe it's more to do with us European types eating lots of smelly cheeses and pâté and stuff rather the cat thing - we didn't have cats when I was young but I'm still immune. We did eat lots of unpasteurised food though, and best before dates have always been a general guideline rather than a rule for us!
