ok, so I was going to post on Wednesday but I jsut haven't gotten around to it!!
I acutally just tried to comment on a post by Summastarlet but I couldn't seem to get it to post.... it was in relation to the lack of chatter on our FB page. I HATE it that's it's gotten like this. I know as one of the group that is UTD, you become acutely aware of the fact that your posts about scans and OB appointments and all the good stuff must cut to the bone. I feel awful about it but I don't really know what to say about it. I don't mind from my own perspective if the others girls' posts are down and out - it doesn't take the shine off my situation, and I really just want to be there to support them, not to feel like they can't talk about their hurt and their pain. I just have loved our banter and our discussions so much! I've come to rely on them so much and probably even bordering on addicted to seeing how everyone is going! I hope that it's just a little quiet phase we're going through, a little dip in the road and we'll come good again!! I do of course understand that if it's too painful to hear the good stuff, you wouldn't want it rubbed in your face all the time if you're having a shit time of it all. Please don't think we ever mean it or do it on purpose. I guess our forum was set up to share - good AND bad.....
Let's hope we get back into the swing of things soon!!!!! Think you girls are all awesome!!!! (probably spend more time chatting with you lot than I do my "real life" friends!!!)
So, had my last OB appointment on Tuesday arvo. Met my student midwife Lydia who will be taking this journey with me. She's lovely and very willing to help any way she can. Had another scan which was fantastic. The good news in a way is that I have to have an OB appointment every two weeks until at LEAST the 24 week mark to check my cervix and ensure it's not incompetent! This is good causeI get to have a scan fortnightly and see that bub is going all ok! Bub on Tuesday was still as active as ever, heart beating away madly. The OB even referred to it as a little acrobat! Again it didn't sit still!!!
I also had a cervical swab to ensure I don't have any infections or anything. Don't have any symptoms for anything like that, but it's routine and I'd rather them check! It was basically like having a pap smear only it went for a little longer as he took 3 swabs. Cold speculum!!!! Brrrrr!!!
Anyway, so I have to go for a pelvic ultrasound next Wednesday which is an internal scan. This is to check the length of my cervix and to ensure it is staying nice and tightly closed like it should. If there is any sign that it is shortening and possibly opening, they will put a stitch in it. I HOPE more than anything it's staying put!!!
Not much else to report for now. Next OB appointment is 8th of June.
Oh, oh, oh!! Don't know how I could forget!!!! Last night whilst laying on the lounge talking to DP, I felt something which felt like someone tickling their fingertips across the bottom of my tummy!!!! It very well COULD be wind, but it felt different to that! Won't read too much into it, but am wondering if because this TECHNICALLY isn't my first baby, if I'm feeling it a little earlier than I expected?!?!?!? I HOPE so!!!!
Have a great weekend! See you next week!!!
