well it's been a long old week with my feet, up. Huw has insisted that i dont go back to work on the advice of the consultant. so Friday i phoned the doctors to find out what they thought. They signed me off immediately as they thought the stress of my job may be too much in the last few weeks. im a little disappointed that i didn't make it to the end, but realise our health is more important. i have left a lot of loose ends that i would have like to have tied up - my student, my form class, schemes of work etc but it seems pointless dwelling on it now. i have to learn to relax, put my feet up and forget about it. i have downloaded some books for the ipad and intend to get reading with a cup of tea. tracey the baby whisperer is one that Huw has promised to read. The woman was brilliant at sorting baby behaviour out and i followed it like a bible when i had Mia - and she was a perfect baby, so am planning to follow her rules again.
Went to have my haircut on saturday, haircut & hormones = disaster!! Sian got a bit scissorhappy and cut off more than she should have which resulted in a very teary mother to be and a very understanding husband, who made it all better with a big box of Ferrero Rocher.
Today was another scan and consultant time. This time Mia and my mother came. Mia was very impressed that she could see her sister's face but was a little concerned that she had no clothes on! lol. More importantly she had spun herself around and is no longer breech!! which means i can have a normal birth. my titre levels haven't risen either which is good. THe consultant was very nice and wants to see me in 4 weeeks. He did grab onto her head and gave her a shake just to make doubly sure. No bloods needed today either with the horrible new needles which is a good thing. Apparently all the mothers have been complaining about how painful they are, so the midwives had a look and they were thicker. Keeley said that hopefully that batch will have run out by next monday, so i will have a less painful time next week. Keeley however, is going skiing so she wont be there to take my blood next week which is a bit gutting as i dont bruise with her. Anyway, a good day!!
Bored is good. Excellent news about head first, love to you all. Ian
ReplyDeleteyip, all is good, consultant wants to see me and check on me at week 37, but other than that everything seems ok. i'm off down the doctors with daughter number 1 this morning as there is an outbreak of hand, foot and mouth, and typically, shes come out in a rash over her cheek and side of her mouth. school are sending them all home so am just checking with doctor that that's what shes got, if not, off to school she goes!!!
