Each to their own i suppose? Just as long they arent doing it to get thier kicks! I remember a case a few years ago were a gp was giving internals all the time (for no apparent reason except to get his kicks) and he got done for it!
Oh he's definitely not doing it for kicks!
I hardly notice him doing it cos we chat the whole way through the exam, he tells me about his wife and daughter, we talk about our holidays etc. 0 -

He sounds a bit like my dentist, she talks all the way through and i try to reply and bite her fingers. When will dentist realise i cant talk back when i have her fingers in my mouth...
Sounds like a nice gyny someone you can talk to rather be on a conveyor belt. I often felt like i was on a conveyor belt when i went the the antenatal clinic. First urine, then b.p., then bloods, then chat with nurse, then get killed for having sugar in my urine, then waiting for the consultant, a quick check of the notes and out of there. Nothing as personable as what your getting but then again i did go public, so i say that's where the difference is.0 -

Why do ppl feel the need to tell you how awfully uncomfortable the last month is going to be when ur 35 weeks?! I mean I'm even getting it from men - how the hell would they know!!!! It's not like I'm comfy now!
On the very big plus side I'm over my cold and back working and feel human again! In fact feel lovely - it mite be occurring to me that next year I'll have a one yr old! Can't wait!! Think I was so focused and worried about the baby part I forgot she was gonna grow up!!! I'm having a child!! It's a revelation!!! Hehe!
Hope ye all doing well?
Quin u in particular - hope there's something stirring!!

Betsie Xr3i, that's the way it is in Kilkenny too sometimes, queue 2+ hours then rushed through midwife/consultant/bloods. I often found myself on the way home remembering things I'd forgotten to ask them and forgetting stuff they had told me!
Dublinlady that's brill that you're over your cold Don't mind people about the last month being uncomfortable. I found 6-8 months more uncomfortable when all the major stretching of my tum went on, I found the last month easier as I was used to carrying the extra weight by then.
Plus the excitement of reaching the finish line
Quin I hope your absence here today is a good sign and your getting to meet your little baby very soon!
lol @ grindelwald biting the dentists fingers
you'd think they'd know better than to try chat to you when they're working on teeth! 0 -

with me it was exactly 48 hrs after the show! Hopefully you will have some good news soon, if it hasn't already happened, as I haven't been on here for a while to read all the updates! best of luck.
all is going well for me and my newest little man, he'll be 3 weeks tomorrow. Everything is so much easier than the first time around, i'm hoping it will continue that way! Hopefully everyone else is doing well with their new bundles, and good luck to those who are expecting soon.0 -
Had my first Antenatal Class on Thursday, it was really good, I knew alot of it but it's reassuring to hear it from the horses mouth so to speak.
74 days left until baba is due, not that I'm counting or anything
Did something really supid yesterday. Was feeding the dogs and needed to get a tin of food down from on top of the press so instead of waiting the 5 minutes for my OH to get back from the shops I climbed up on the counter top to get it myself. I slipped getting back down, didn't hit my bump or anything and babs is fine (kicking away) but I twisted my back trying to catch myself so I woke up this morning in agony with my back
I was so sick of asking 'can you get me this' 'can you do that for me' I just wanted to do something for myself but still I could kick myself for being so impatient 0 -

I fell off a chair early on in my pregnancy, it gave me an awful fright (got bad bruising on my legs but luckily didn't hit my belly) so I bought this, cheap, solid and much safer than a chair!0 -

Just a quickie from my phone, our beautiful baby girl was born on Saturday n we r completely smitten n can't take our eyes off her, she's perfect :-)
A very tough delivery but she got here
Emer Lily ;-) xxx
Aw wow congratulations Quins5! I was thinking of you this morning seeing as we hadn't heard from you in a few days.
Dying to hear full update, absolutely beautiful name
Ms2011, sorry to hear about your back. I know exactly what you mean though, it can be so frustrating not being able to do all the things you're used to due to pregnancy.
I fell on my last pregnancy too, though was more embaressing/funny than sore. I was washing the windows and fell out the window.
Thankfully we live in a bungalow so I didn't have far to fall.
When I told me GP she burst out laughing I was only 13 weeks at the time and fell on my back so no harm done to baba at all. It was such a Mrs. Doyle (Fr. Ted) fall too :D
I had my ante natal appointment today (last one was October). I was hoping to find out the sex, but due to the way baby was all curled up down low in the womb, the Doctor was not able to tell me.
She was lovely though and did try for a few minutes to find out, but baby just wasn't cooperating
I'm going to go for a private scan in the next few weeks, for peace of mind as much as to find out the sex.
I just felt my appointment was really rushed today (seen doctor only in hospital, not midwife + bloods as I would do usually.
Just as well the doctor wasn't doing an internal examination, 3 times in the space of a 4 minute scan staff burst into the room looking to use the scanner.
No apology or knock first!0 -
Huge congrats quin!!! So glad she has arrived safe and sound - hope your doing ok yourself! X
Ms - be careful!! But I know exactly how ya feel - I'm constantly lifting things at work that I really shouldn't be... It's so hard not too - so bloody frustrating!!!
Cap - that story was no good for my stress incontinence!! seriously - falling out the window!!!!! What ya trying to do to me!!!! Hahahahaha!!!
Had gp apt today as part of combined care - Bp is up so have to keep an eye on it but think its ok. Feeling great other than that! 34 days to go.... So excited about it now! My patience is not good at the best of times so can't believe still have 5 weeks left!! So bad of me but when she said my Bp was up I secretly thought... Oh goody they'll have to get the baby out sooner.... Feel v. Guilty now... She's welcome to stay as long as she needs to 'be fully cooked'!! Can't believe how much I love her already 0 -

Huge Congrats Quins5, beautiful name x
Thanks for the tip Ivy, I actually think I have a little stool thingy here somewhere I must root it out!
Cap, had a little giggle at the thoughts of you doing a Misses Doyle out the window, I'm blaming baby brain
Hope you get to find out the sex of baba at a private scan, I have to say I love knowing, I feel like a know him just a little bit more
DL I am constantly feeling guilty about wishing my little man would just arrive already, I know he needs to stay in there for another while yet but I'm so impatient to meet him and get back to normal myself.
I'm sure when they are teenagers we'll be looking back at the quiet pregnancy days with longing lol
Under my boobs, especially in the middle is so sore, feels like I've done about 50 sit ups, I presume everything is just getting more squashed now. I'll be 30 weeks on Friday yay 0 -

MS2011 I'm in shock that you're already 30 weeks! It's flying through for you
Best o luck to all those who are due soon! Xxx
Can't believe it myself, the days seem to dragging but in reality it's flying by!
How's little Nathan? Can you believe you've been a mammy for almost a whole month already :-)0 -
