Seen about 5 midwifes. all doing different things: history, bloods, urine, BMI etc, then I went to see the doc for a few minutes. He was cool. Just told me to enjoy it and go on holidays - My kind of doctor! The only disappointing thing was, I didn't get a photo. Is this normal in Holles Street?
Congrats! I was on the April 2013 thread.....can't believe April 2014 is here!!
I had my daughter in Holles Street and I only got pics at the anomaly scan at 21 weeks. Got a mini scan at every apt which was great but no piccies until the big one

Have my first consultants appt tomorrow. Asked if I could go with midwives because I've had 2 natural births since my c section but they still said no
Going to be bringing up the issue of me wanting my tubes tied after this birth, I was fobbed off after my last birth because I'm too young but I'll be fighting tooth and nail for it this time.
Hoping I have a mini scan, used to get them on all my visits on number 2
Anomaly scan is 9th Dec, I'm 16 weeks tomorrow so I'll be just over 20 weeks at scan, hoping to find out gender too.
KKkitty, is it ok if I add you to the due date list??0 -

Two fracking hours sat in that hospital and I think they saw ten people in that time. Nobody was in there for more than 10 mins...
Not back for an antenatal check up until the day of my glucose tolerance test so that's grand
Saw baby on mini scanner and he/she is getting nice and big, had their back turned to us so hopefully it's facing forward at big scan on 9th Dec!0 -
Had a bit of a scare last Fri morning, was bleeding & saw some clots too (YIKES!) so went into my GP who was VERY reassuring & positive. She sent me into the Coombe A&E as a precaution & they were fantastic. All is perfect
And they took loads of pics of the baby (called Mommasin at the moment!) who was turning cartwheels and even was sucking its thumb at one point.
So my flap is over, and I really thought the staff in the Coombe were amazing. I felt so reassured and relaxed with them. The only thing is I have to see a consultant for my first appt (this Friday) and then hopefully I'll be signed back onto the Domino scheme again. Fingers crossed!0 -

Oh god. So glad all is well. Did they explain the reason behind the bleeding? Had a wedding last Friday and looked and felt 7 months pregnant after the meal. Olaola relax and take it easy. Mind yourself I will be giving birth in St. Luke's in Kilkenny if January needs that for the list. 0 -

They gave multiple possibilities, one being at this time of growth there is a lot of blood going to the pelvic area. I had also been given a 'possible' diagnosis of BV that day and was due to start antibiotics. Which might have been the cause. I had no pain or cramps and otherwise in rude health, so hopefully it was just one of those things!
I'm the same, once I start eating my tummy grows! And while people think it's 'the' bump, it's just my stomach

What's BV? I honestly felt so sluggish after the meal. At least you and baby are fine. Hope you won't have any more scares.0 -

I find you can tell where the blood is coming from if you wipe from your perineum downwards and then wipe to just before your perineum. I've had a few "oh ****" moments this pregnancy where there's been blood when I wiped but it's always been from pushing a poo out too hard
If you are really worried please do go and get checked! They won't make you feel silly at all.0 -
I wouldn't hesitate to ring the hospital straight away if I were you LMP. Just ask to speak to one of the midwives, see what they have to say. Hopefully all is fine, but they might want to bring you in for a quick check ... and if not, they might at least be able to reassure you a bit. I've had to ring the hospital a couple of times, and I never was made feel like I was wasting their time, they're lovely! 0

A major +1 on this, they're UBER reassuring and friendly. It's worth talking to them, if even to bring your stress levels down so you're not so worried!0 -

This is a new thing, but my arse is killing me! Around my coccyx - I get a very numb & sore bum if I sit in certain positions. I think I need a doughnut pillow...
Mine too lol I could sit on a pin and not feel it. LMP hope all is ok. Best to get it checked out to put your mind at ease. 0
