Hope everyone's sickness is abating - I feel so lucky to not have experienced it, it sounds terrible!
I had a rather long drawn out hospital visit yesterday. I went for my normal antenatal appt to find out if baby is still breech - it is!! Not surprised as I haven't felt it turn. So it looks like I will never have my VBAC. In a contrary way I feel kind of relieved, as the decision has been taken out of my hands. After reading various birth horror stories I was beginning to wonder if I should just choose a 3rd section anyway. It's a shame that my antenatal yoga is a bit of a waste of money though! I will get a date for my section through the post, which seems kind of weird. And it will almost certainly be during the half term holiday, so I will not have any nice relaxing time off beforehand.
Then the rather lovely midwife noticed that I am not walking very easily and took the time to phone up physio to get me referred there. I was rather touched that she had made the effort since I couldn't be bothered to mention it at this stage - I know I probably have SPD and that lots of people have it much worse. I also know in theory what I should do to help the situation but it's not always easy when you have 2 kids and your job involves looking after a further 30 of them! Anyway, I went down to physio and have been told to go to a group thing on Monday for advice and exercise. Unfortunately this is one of my two work days, but since I haven't had any other time off, I guess I will go.
But in addition to that, the midwife and doctor thought I was measuring small for dates. Not really a big surprise - Everyone (each pregnancy) always comments about my bump not being very big (I sometimes put it down to the extra weight on my boobs and hips which means it just doesn't stick out that much in comparison!) and I had to have a growth scan last pregnancy with DD, who turned out to be 7lbs at one week before the official due date. But still, it is always a worry when they think you need extra checks. So I had to go back to the hospital later in the day for an extra scan - all looks normal which is good.
By that time, I had been out of the house for pretty much the whole day! I only just got back in time for the school run. But luckily my mum had come with me so we did squeeze in a trip to M&S between appointments where she insisted on buying very nice baby things for me plus lunch
So not all bad...
Wow, what a ramble!
I certainly won't be giving in to that craving!! Very strange, it's not as though I normally take soluble painkillers. If I have a headache I would normally pop a couple of nurofen (pre-pregnancy of course). It's just the taste of the solution that I was craving. Thankfully it seems to have passed now. I bought some orange squash as I can't stand the taste of water at the moment, and it seems to have got rid of my freaky soluble drug craving.
