and i know i'm not posting much, it's not the lack of things to say i'm just tired...
All those people out there who have been pregnant or who have kids will probably know where i'm coming from.
Its so weird how doing next to nothing makes you feel like you have run a marathon! (not that i would ever be guilty of that lol)
Anyway baby and i are fine if not knackered, the family all seem fine at the mo, couple of minor hospital visits but nothing to worry about.
I'm still at work, 3 weeks and counting till i finish!
Other than that we have finally (almost) finished decorating the dining room, the worst room in the house, how many rooms that are about 12ft square have three doors and a window to take into account grrr

Poorly Sick!
It seems sailing through a pregnancy is not allowed and if the pregnancy cant get ya then something else will!
Since last Thursday i have been getting really bad headaches, when we went to see the midwife on Friday morning we mentioned it, she told us i could have co-codamol instead of paracetamol but to keep an eye on it over the weekend.
Saturday i get a rash, Sunday the rash is slightly worse and i'm feeling sick...
Monday morning we have to go to the hospital for the diabetes test where we bump into my midwife who takes one look at me and arranges for me to see a doctor.
So three hours later when the diabetes test is over we head up to the third floor to see the doctor, blood pressure is checked, urine sample is checked, i'm put on a monitor for baby and babys heartbeat is good and strong and baby is kicking away.
The doctor then says she only deals with "pregnancy and women's bits" and doesnt feel qualified to discuss the headaches or the rash and so will get another doctor to come and see us.
Some time later another doctor comes to see us, looks at the rash and says he is going to speak to someone in dermatology.
He comes back and tells us he is actually a cardiologist (WTF) and as such doesnt really know a huge amount about rashes but he can tell us it isnt menengitis or chicken pox.....well we could probably have told you that!
He gives us a prescription for some painkillers and tells us we should go and see our own GP!
We go to the hospital pharmacy where the pharmacist comes out with a medical dictionary, tells us the drug we have been prescribed isnt commonly used in this country but is used in Germany quite a lot without any side effects to pregnant women. She then asked us if we still wanted it!
I dont know about you but i dont go to a doctor so i can be the one to decide what i am prescribed, isnt that why they do the study and get the salary....
Anyhoo we then manage to get an appointment with our GP, the new one remember??
We had been in her office less than five minutes when she said "looks like shingles to me"
I've been back to see her this morning and she has referred me to another hospital, i am waiting to find out when my appointment is this afternoon to get the diagnosis confirmed.
I have been signed off for a week and told i will probably be off next week as well.
And where am i lucky enough to have this rash you ask??
Lucky old me, it's on my face....

Fuming
So about a year or so ago i developed an infection in my belly button (i know yuk!)
Went to the Doctors he gave me some cream, it went away.
It came back, used more cream, it went away.
It came back, used more cream, it went away.
It came back, used more cream, it went away.
Went back to the Doctors, he gave me some antibiotics, it went away.
It came back, used more cream, it went away.
It came back, used more cream, it went away.
It came back, used more cream, it went away.
So a couple of weeks ago i went back to the doctors, he took a swab to send off to the hospital and gave me 2 creams...
I got a phone call roughly a week later from the doctors receptionist stating the results had come back and that the doctor had written me a prescription for some more antibiotics which was waiting for me to collect.
I'm not sure what made me ask if they were ok for me to take as HELLO I'M 20 WEEKS PREGNANT but i did, at which point she put the doctor on the phone so he could tell me no, i couldnt take them if i was pregnant.
He said he would phone the hospital to find out if there was anything i could take.
A few hours later the receptionist phones again to tell me there is nothing i can take for this while i'm pregnant so just to keep it clean and dry.
Again, not sure what made me ask if i was to continue using the creams but i did, she wasnt sure she would phone me back.
Another phone call from the receptionist to say "erm yeah use em if you like"
Now i dont consider myself to be somone who panicks unreasonably but why is everyone looking at me and Chris like we are over reacting when we say we would like to change doctors.
They guy prescribed me something i shouldnt be taking when not only did he confirm i was pregnant but i asked him if i should be worried about it in connection with the baby when i was there and he was taking the swab!
Is there only us that find it unacceptable that he would carelessly prescribe me something im not supposed to be taking???
