Now that IS an exciting post title!!! So I wasn't so bummed about today being Monday for once..... seeing as this is my last Monday before maternity leave!!!! And working only three days a week, my last day is Wednesday!!!! I CANNOT believe it!!! I've been sooooo busy in the weeks leading up until now and I think I have most bases covered, so now I'm slipping blissfully into holiday mode - whether I like it or not!!!
Very glad as I'm sick of travelling and a bit sick of sitting cramped up at my desk all day! Not the most favourable position to be in at this stage of pregnancy. But I'm not complaining, I have it better than alot of people in the workplace and I'm making the most of it!
Am off for a lunch with my old department tomorrow so that will be lovely! And then Wednesday my current department are taking me to lunch as well, so I dare say they will both be long stints out of the office!! We've been running a bit of a spreadsheet too, trying to guess the sex of the bub, date of birth, weight, length etc and things like that make the whole experience so much more exciting!!! Can hardly believe there is all this fuss!!!For so many years I've enjoyed doing it for other people, and now here I am getting to do it for my own little monkey! I love it!!!
Good news, my other little embarrssing pregnancy symptom from my last post is all completely sorted and I'm good as gold again!! Thank the lord for caring pharmacists!!! hee hee!!!
My only "complaint" currently is groin pain which seems to be much worse when I've done my nightly walk. It's kind like somone is pulling at my adductor muscles and standing on my pubic bone all at the same time. It's bearable but contributes to this stupid penguin waddle!!! hahaha!!! I guess it's just that things where the ligaments loosen and your pelvis is preparing for birth! Hope it's not too far away now!! Start my 37th week on Thursday and so that's probably the ultimate milestone for me and I'm sooooooo happy I can't even explain it! Getting very regular Braxton hicks now too..... pretty much every day. Some are hardly noticable really but some are getting quite strong and certainly uncomfortable! Good practice hopefully!!!
Am still taking red raspberry leaf tablets every day and I read on BH in the November due thread that alot of women are taking EPO again. Some even putting capsules inside them up near their cervix. I had started taking some again as of the weekend but only orally!!! hahaha!!! Apparently it can help with softening the cervix and seeing as I had some leftover from TTC days, I figured it couldn't hurt to take them until they run out!
Well, gotta run as my day is about over! 2 days left! YEAH!!!! : D
Gym bubba is finally here!!

Oh, so close!
Well..... can still hardly believe I've got less than 5 weeks to go now!
Things have settled down a fair bit the past two weeks which has been a welcome relief!! Blood pressure stabilised mostly now at around 90/50 or 90/60 which is much better than what it was. Have only had one fainting "episode" since last at the docs so that's great too! Been wearing those gorgeous compression stockings (got skin coloured ones but they're pretty much as ugly as the white ones!) and I think they're helping a fair bit. Thankfully the weather down here has mostly been cool still so able to wear them to work.
As of today (when today ends) I have three days of work left. Blows me away to think that's it for all that time!!! I kinda hope bub goes a week early or so, so that I'm not home for weeks. I've done all the washing of baby clothes, blankets etc, made up the cot, and got pretty much everything in order. Still can't put the rest of the nursery furnishings up cause no one knows still what I'm having. Wonder if I could put a lock on the door...... heh heh..... not likely!
Getting MUCH tighter in the tummy now. The past three days I've had a stitch-like pain on my right hand side. Feels like my abs are gunna tear in two. Noticably heavier when I walk too, and still quite breathless.
Been walking on the treadmill most nights which has been great, and funnily enough I'm not as tight or sore when I'm finished my walk. It's now just gettting harder and harder to get motivated to get on there in the first place!
Still eating VERY small meals cause I'm full all the time. Mostly I just crave ice cubes.... apparently it's the most common non-food craving during pregnancy! There is some contention over that term non-food from what I read on the net. Apparently according to most websites it sits in the category of "pica" (literal translation is magpie) but lots of people say because it's water, that's it's technically a food item and pica refers to craving things like chalk, dirt, clay etc..... oh well, it's better than the greasy sausage roll "cravings" I had at the start of the pregnancy!! The only bad thing is it can be potentially bad for your teeth, all that crunching! And I'm easily able to indulge this craving all day, every day at this place where I work as we have a training restaurant here which has an ice making machine in the cellar, and I have a key!! At least I'm keeping up plenty of fluids!
Oh, and one other pregnancy side effect I've developed in the past week...... STOP READING HERE IF YOU DON'T WANT TMI!!!!!!!!
I'm awfully embarrassed to admit it but I've now developed small but still very painful "bout" (?) of haemorrhoids ..... god, why must women go through this kind of crap to get to such a wonderful prize at the end?!?!?! Hobbled to the chemist yesterday and had a chat to the pharmacist there. She was lovely and we had a bit of a laugh about it! I asked her if they will continue after pregnancy and she said whilst there will now always be a bit of a weakspot there and potential for it to flare up again, that they are easily managed and should only reoccur on rare occasions! Anyway, as embarrassed as I was to be going through this, she said it was extremely common in later pregnancy and gave me stuff called proctosedyl and today it's all but gone and I feel normal again!!! I guess it pays to swallow ones pride and ask the question!!! Oh, but she did warn me that it will probably flare up again during labour but to keep that cream handy! Yeah, can't wait for that one!!! Nice to know it'll all be on show for the world to see too!!! Can't believe I've even put this in a blog, but figured that the women reading this will firstly have a bit of a horrified giggle and then hopefully feel some form of compassion!!!! hahahaha!!!!!!
Well, on that note I've got to head off to do some work which is a bit of a PAIN IN THE ARSE....... hee hee!!! But will be back shortly to update some more! Trying not to leave it so long between updates!
Oh, before I go......
* A huge congrats to Lambchops on her wedding on the weekend!! Well done!!! Am so happy for you and DH!!!! (no more DP)
* Big hugs and get well wishes to GS..... you poor bugger. You've had an awful run since getting your BFP.... I hope you feel better very, very soon xx
More updates for the other girls shortly!!!!!

Scan day
So went to SJOG hospital today for my 34 week scan. And let me say it was nothing short of mind blowing!!! The most amazing thing I have seen to date....
It was pretty much your standard scan to check the position of my placenta (even though the ob said it had moved a while back they just wanted to confirm it's position). Anyway, placenta was confirmed completely clear of my cervix which was nice to see and gave me that extra piece of mind.
Then the sonographer proceeded to check other bits and pieces... Heart beat - that little thing pounding away beautifully, kidneys, bladder, stomach, head circumference, length of one of the femurs, and all was perfect. They estimated bub to be approximate five and a half pounds or so and about 46cm long!! It's really not very far off it's birth stats I guess! They say they grow about 1cm per week from now until birth, so if that's correct then bub should be born about 51cm long (at term anyway) and my guess for weight is somewhere between seven and a half pounds and eight pound two.
So then we just checked out features of bub. Wow, the scans are amazing at this many weeks gestation... It's not so skinny now so you could see it's chubby little cheeks and it's full little Cupid bow lips and button nose. Parents are Always biased but it was hard not to think how gorgeous it looked!!! It yawned and stuck it's tongue out and then started sucking on it's fingers!! And then something that took my amazement to a whole new level.... Bub appeared to open it's eyes!!!! We could actually see the eyes moving around!! It was only for about three seconds but enough to seriously blow mine and dp completely away!!! My student midwife was also there at the scan and she said she'd never seen that before!!
We tried for ages to get pics on 3D but it was too hard. Apparently they are better done earlier in pregnancy but at this point they are just too hard to see anything clearly. Of course I was a bit disappointed but to be honest, the 2D ones at this late in the pregnancy and so clear anyway!!
Nearly fainted on the table about half way through so hadto turn on my side and have a glass of water but then I got the sonographer to tilt the table up a bit and I was fine again!
Well, off for a shower now. Will add pics tomorrow when I figure out how to get them off the disc!!

Test from my iPhone
Well, it's been such a long time since I've blogged and it seems so much has happened!!!
I have just downloaded blogpress on my iPhone so thought I'd do a quick test and hence a quick update...
In my 34th week now and can't believe that we are nearing d day so quickly. Feeling a huge mix of emotions about this to be honest... Relief, terror, excitement, anxiety, elation... Back to feeling a little overwhelmed but doing my best to keep things in perspective and keep a lid on it for now! :)
Been in hospital not last week but the week before due to low blood pressure. They were worried it might have been related to my heart and this was also causing the fainting. So went in for three ecg's and had to spend a night in acute care with cardiac telemetry monitor on me which was an interesting experience to say the least. I was the youngest by 52 years according to a nurse that was up for a chat at 1am whilst doing my obs!
Anyway, heart was all good but it turned out my thyroid hormone levels were low so the ob has put me on 50mcg of thyroxine a day and I had a blood test last Thursday which was checking my thyroid function again and also checking for thyroid antibodies. I'm hoping there are no antibodies as if that's the case the I may have hypothyroidism and be on medication long term. If none are found, it's most likely that once bub is born I won't need to continue the thyroid medication. My mum and two of her sisters have both had thyroid problems, with mums two sisters having hashimotos disease. My nana has graves disease which is essentially hyperthyroidism but a thyroid problem all the same, so I guess given genetics, it's very possible this could be long term... Won't know blood results until Wednesday and oh well, if it's bad then at least it has been picked up and can easily be managed.
On a positive note, got my 34 week scan tomorrow morning. My student midwife is attending and so is dp. Having it at a different imagine place this time that does 3d so can't wait to see the little spider monkey! Can easily tell which way it's lying lately.... It's toes are constantly wedged under my ribs!!
Anyway, will update more once I've had my scan tomorrow!! Plus hopefully post a pic or two!!
P.s bub stillgets the hiccups about three or four times a day!! I keep hearing that's a sign of a healthy baby! Hope that's true!!

Bit of a shift..... for the better!!!!!
God, it feels like an eternity since I've blogged!!!! I've been reading others blogs when I've been able to during annual leave but couldn't get in to update mine! Then this week when I've been back at work I just haven't had a chance! I was going to yesterday but figured I may as well wait until I'd had my OB appointment today and update after that.
Soooooo, Dr B did the usual checks, blood pressure and the like which were all back to normal for me which was great - 100/60. He also went through the results of my GTT (I figured if I hadn't heard anything they must be ok) and they were perfect. Also he'd done a count to check my iron and haemaglobin and both were perfect as well. My cortisol was normal and not elevated this time too which means my kidneys are also working like they should! So all round, when it comes to my health, I'm fit as a fiddle and let me tell you, I couldn't be happier!!
Then Dr B got me to lay down so he could check the fundal height etc and that was spot on also! He said my tummy was very tight and it great condition for giving birth which I thought was a nice thing to say! Made me feel like the million sit ups I've done in my life are finally paying off! Then he went on to say how bub is still only about half grown compared to it's birth size so get ready for the next phase of growth spurt! Eeeek! hahaha!!!
Then he did a scan to check bub was all ok and growing nicely. Bub was laying EXACTLY as I'd told him I thought it was - across my stomach with it's head on my left and it's legs almost up under my right ribs, booting me constantly!!! Cheeky little monkey!!
The shift I was referring to in my blog title though relates back to the fact that Dr B checked out my placenta position and it has now moved completely clear of my cervix and as a result no longer have placenta praevia and don't have to book in for a c-section! SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO relieved!!!!!! Sooooo happy and sooooooooo grateful for the good news!!!!!!! I'm off to the gym now to celebrate and maintain my great mood!!! Will write more tomorrow when I have a bit more time!
