I'm 27+6weeks today and had to go back to the hospital to see the consultant re: increased chance of premature labour. After much poking and prodding, peeing in metal bowls etc (oh the glamour) everything seems fine. According to my notes there is evidence i've had an infection but the doctor didnt mention it so i'm guessing there no concerns. The ricicle is smack bang on the middle line on the customised growth chart and has a healthy heart beat so its all looking good.
Got to go back on friday to have some tests for gestational diabetes since my dad and papa both have diabetes and my 28 week bloods for haemoglobin and antibodies levels need to be checked. Can you believe they want me there at 8.15 in the morning, grr!
Got to go back to see the consultant in 4 weeks to check that everything is still ok and then fingers crossed i wont need to go back until the ricicle is born.
The consultant was really nice (not bad looking either) he recommended a team at the hospital who help support pregnant women who have mental illnesses. I told him i'm feeling ok for now but it is nice to know there is help and support there if its needed. Help for mental illness isn't always readily available around here not unless you can wait weeks or months on a waiting list.
Its always a relief to hear everything is ok with the baby but at this stage of pregnancy i definately dont feel like i'm blooming myself. Finding it increasingly difficult to sleep even though i'm constantly tired, waking up with indigestion most nights doesnt help. My breasts have started leaking (tmi i know, sorry) and i constantly ache from head to toe. oh my god its only down hill from here too :(

I've only just discovered your blog. Your openness is wonderful - fascinating reading and a moving description of pregnancy. Thank you.
I'm so pleased to hear that the hospital offer support for muns to be and new mums. I didn't know that they did. It's great that you mentioned this on your blog. Delighted to hear that the all is going well. :-)
