Consultant appointment

We had our first consultant appointment today, after being referred because of my BMI. Was quite a short appointment, and we didn’t actually see the consultant, but one of his staff. I had to do a urine sample when I got there, the results from this were fine. Then had my blood pressure taken, this was also fine. Then just went through a bit of history, like medical problems, procedures etc., obviously mentioned about the PCOS, then she asked whether we had fallen pregnant naturally or with help, I obviously mentioned the clomid then, then she wanted to know how …

23 weeks (and a bump pic)

Yesterday was 23 weeks! Nearly at ‘V Day’, next week… Not much to report I’m afraid after only posting 22 week update on Thursday! I was in quite an emotional teary state over the weekend though, I think partly this is because the miserable cold weather and early dark nights are getting me down, like they do other people; I don’t usually suffer too much but obviously more emotional and hormonal this year so it’s affecting me a bit more! Also, I’ve been having those ‘I’m going to be a rubbish Mummy and do everything wrong’ thoughts! I suppose it’s …

Well I have neglected you for a over a week, since last Tuesday, how awful of me! The Sunday just passed saw me entering my 22nd week of pregnancy!

Anomaly scan

Yesterday we had our 20 week anomaly scan. I’m sure you all know by now that we wanted to find out the gender, and luckily baby had their legs uncrossed and let us see! Baby G is a…. BOY! Mummy’s instinct was right! (As was the old wives tales gender predictor, the astrological balance predictor, gender swaying BD timing, and the Baby Centre gender predictor) We are absolutely over the moon, I can’t stop smiling! Now, since I can remember, I always imagined myself having a baby girl, until I was actually pregnant, from about 6 or 7 weeks I …

21 weeks

(Slight TMI warning towards the end! Well maybe for you but not much is TMI for me!) Today is the 21 weeks mark! I really cannot believe how fast it’s going! Tomorrow is scan day, I’m sure it will have been well worth the wait when we get to see baby again! I’ve been doing the worrying thing again lately, that there’s going to be something wrong, but I’m sure everything is okay. Just want to make sure our baby is growing well and there’s nothing wrong. We’re on team finding out, if baby has his/her legs uncrossed and lets …
