Hows everyone today?
The last 2 days I am literally just waddling around, legs apart and the soreness in my pelvis /pubic bone area is coming and going. From reading everything I could find online, I think that it is either pain associated with the pelvic joints loosening up, or my baby has dropped into position -or both even. Either way I am not worried that it is anything 'abnormal' anymore.
I still have 3 weeks to go though, so I hope the soreness goes away before that!
Theoretically 3 weeks cunning

There shouldn't be any issue getting the referral due to your previous loss.
I had my first appt at 6 weeks, another at 8 weeks (scans in the EPU) and my booking appointment with the hospital (one where they do your bloods etc) is 14 weeks.
You definitely get seen earlier once you get the referral.
The joys of having my appetite (almost completely) back, I went out for lunch & had THE NICEST thai red curry today & it tasted amazing.
I've been so sick after eating food lately its so lovely to enjoy it again!
thanks cap, she gave me a letter and it said about my m/c but i asked her before getting the letter would i get seen to any sooner and she was saying once i just had one m/c they usually dont see you any faster
i feel fine thank god and last nite i actually had to take my bra off i was that sore and i was like that on dd 
im 5wks 2mrw pg, i dont mind waiting if its 14wks which would prob be xmas week so id imagine maybe jan, will keep you guys posted.
i was a total pig last nite ate a massive chinese and then prawn crackers:rolleyes: had to be done:P0 -

Congratulations Pippington a little boy Yey you must be over the moon!
Ivy you're right to avoid at all costs! Are you getting the Flu Vaccine? I'm on 2 minds about it.. I've never ever had the Flu only bad colds.. My OH thinks I should but I dunno..0 -

Playbunny, would you consider a private scan, or just walk in to the Early Pregnancy Unit to see if they would look at you? Hopefully you get seen before 14 weeks.
Gold Star Alert!!
Walked into the kitchen to see my OH cleaning the fridge - which was overdue, but I've been too wrecked to summon the energy. He said he was thinking of the baby and the importance of food safety while I'm pregnant.
Chuffed! I love a clean fridge when its done, but hate doing it. He has also been doing most of the housework and laundry, any time I offer to help he shoos me out of the kitchen and tells me to put my feet up. I think I done good choosing my babydaddy :pac: 0 -

I've decided I will get the flu jab. Decided that it would be just my luck to get the flu. Not worried about ME being sick but aparently it's very risky for the unborn baby for the mum to have the flu.
I'm going back to the gyny on November 3rd, I'll get the prescription then, and I can get my boyfriend's grandad (who is a retired doctor) to give it to me, saves a bit of cash! 0 -

Just FYI for anybody in Dublin. The Rotunda have a free flu shot clinic on Mondays. Just ring ahead and make an appt...0 -
Im with you Tigress, Im not sure about getting the flu jab.
I have no fear myself but its the baby im thinking about. The swine flu is included in this jab and Im not sure if it has been tested enough...
Decisions Decisions :eek:
Starting week 30 this week yippppeeeeeeeeeeee:D 0 -
I'll have to find a source, but I did read last year that the chance of miscarriage from the flu is higher than the chance of getting side-effects from the vaccination. I will get back to you!Im with you Tigress, Im not sure about getting the flu jab.

That's what sealed the deal for me. Got it done last winter at about 16 wks, had no issues or problems.
I asked GP if he was treating his own wife would he insist she get it,
He said yes, was all the convincing I needed 0 -
It's BECAUSE the swine flu is in it I will get it - if it was just reg flu prob wouldn't bother but an epidemic if swine flu is hard to avoid and I'd be more worried about getting that while pregnant than getting an inactivated vaccine - it's impossible to get any version of flu, swine or otherwise from the vaccine as it's completely inactivated 0

congrats Hannibal!
can someone please tell me sternly not to eat so much cr*p food?! Been munching on minirolls, crisps, choc chip cookies and anything else sugary or salty (and not the healthy kind) all day ;-( just can't stop myself...
re: the flu - read some of those leaflets at the GPs advertising the vaccine - but none of them said explicitly WHY I should get vaccinated when I'm pregnant, just that I should? have never had the flu in my life (just bad colds), don't think I will get vaccinated now. Then again, god knows what nasty bugs will be floating around the hospital...:(0 -

It's because there is a risk to the baby apparently. I got the flu vaccination the year before last and I just had a bit of tiredness and no other side effects. (I've had a rake of vaccinations for work travel and tetanus is by far the worst, IMO!)0 -

Congrats to all the ladies who've had their babies, I'm green with jealousy, I don't want to have to wait another 23 weeks to see my baba, I want to see him/her now!!!:D:p
Lol I know what ya mean! In one way I'm like 9 weeks is ageeessss away on the other I'm like holy crap I've only 9 weeks left I've gotta get the last few bits already!
On the plus side of things my hospital & labour bags are all packed & sitting in the hallway for D-Day
I'm getting a little more nervous about the birth itself... I'm looking forward to it cause I know it'll only be one day and then I'll have my baby! The suspense of not knowing really what it's gonna be like or how I'll cope is a bit mind blowing!
Thanks for the replies on the Flu Jab! I'm still not 100% sure what to do! I didn't realise the swine was incorporated in it!! I got the swine jab 2 years ago and got a reaction of temps and vomiting for a few hours the night I got the jab so I guess I'm even more worried about getting it now! But I also don't wanna put my baby at risk! I'm gonna talk to my GP when I see him next Thurs & see what he suggests!
Yey for Sat Night curled up with a blanket watching X-Factor with a giant bowl of popcorn hehe 0 -

Tigress I got that from 16 weeks when I was pregnant! I found the Nuk pads best, really slim compared to a lot of others that can be quite bulky!
Oh really? Thanks Lola! Where do you get the Nuk Pads? I got a box of the boots pads & a box of the Mothercare ones a little while ago so gonna try them tomorrow! They do look a little bulky though 0 -

I got them in my local pharmacy, think I have seen them in Sam Mc cauleys & McCabes too though, I'll keep an eye out for you!
Thanks Lola I'll keep an eye out myself aswell might have a look see in my local chemists on Mon! (they close on Sundays here) we finally got a Boots in Portlaoise so they might have some there too 0 -

Try not to worry too much about the birth. I had myself in a right tizzy about it, fear of the unknown and all and I can honestly say NOTHING about it would prevent me doing it again and I didn't exactly have it easy OR short at just shy of 30 hours!
And I know it's a cliche but when they hand you your little baby you COMPLETLY forget the labour and delivery and the Tea and toast you get after is THE best u will ever have!0 -
