the worrys and excitement start

oh god not done a blog for a while. have been so tired lately that when i get round to typing one up my eyes are too tired to focus. so told myself i would write today.

well have been testing still even went out on payday and bought some more including some digis and its reassured me alot.

went to see the doctor to get booked in on the 7th jan and she was horrid. didnt want to listen to my concerns or rather didnt want to take them on board. asked to be reffered for a scan and she said she will but that the epu would only scan me if there was something wrong so basically saying you probably wont get a scan.

i came out of the doctors feeling upset and deflated. it was like no one wanted to care about me or my baby and my lost babies didnt matter.

the next day the 8th i started getting some serious cramping which had me doubled over at one point. i waited all day to see if the pains would ease but they didnt so rang epu which was shut. the next morning i tried again to be told i needed to be reffered by a doctor so phoned doctors and managed to get an appointment that day after explaining to the receptionist. i was dreading going as i thought i would have got the misery cow i got on the monday but was suprised to see a different doctor called dr rose. another female who was this time english and she couldnt of been more lovely.

she listened to my concerns and seemed genuinely worried for me especially as i told her my history of losing my angels. she took her time and reassured me and then tried to get through to the epu but then again it was shut so she promised to ring the epu the next morning and let me know what they say.

she said she was shocked the epu wouldnt see me without a refferal and it actually felt i had someone on mine and my babys side and all the positivity i lost with the 1st doctor i regained with her.


after seeing her i felt so much better and i'm determined to see her throughout my pregnancy if i can.

anyways the next morning the receptionist called saying the doctor had rang the epu but they wouldnt scan me til 6 weeks and i had a choice of seeing a doctor on the 19th or seeing dr rose on the 21st who would then book me a scan. of course i chose to see dr rose. so fingers crossed i will get to see my baby on or a few days after the 21st. i just hope the epu are considerate and dont pass me off as a neuorotic mother-to-be.

still suffering with the same symptoms. nausea seems to be kicking in mainly last thing at night when i'm in bed and first thing in the morning. am just glad that when i eat it makes it go away but i know give it a week or 2 and that morning sickness will hit me in the face and i will become best friends once again with the toilet bowl. going to try my best to get on with it this time round and try to avoid the tablets atleast until i get past 9 weeks and know things are ok. dont want to do anything this time round to harm my baby even paracetamol i would rather suffer.

hoping sometime next week i will get my midwife appointment through think with my last pregnancy it took about 2 weeks or just over and its been a week since i saw the doctor.

really looking forward to this pregnancy i just hope my precious baby decides to stay with us and is safe and warm in my womb.
