Hi moomies

Ohh My God Purple heart, you must have been scared. I am glad everything its fine now. If you dont mind me asking. What causes that and what are the symptoms.

I went on my appointment on the 28 jan...1stly they had a meeting and finished around 10...then we did the urine test n BP, the injection,weighing. That went quickly.
Then the next part of where they are to measure our stomachs n giving us the meds..came to a stand still when a young girl came in and she was in labour...they had stop everything to help her...did i mention that the clinic its a day clinic n they dont give ppl birth...so u can imagine the chaos...
After an hour or so the clinic manager came to explain the situation to us...i left the clinic around 1...
The sister was very nice n u can ask anything...well i was not interested as i wanted to leave the clinic as soon as possible...my next appointment its on the 09/03...its far but the less i go to that place the better

Hi Ladies.

Sorry for being so quiet. Just working though all the complications with my pregnancy. I had to have a cervical cerclage coz my cervix was opening. I'm okay now and on pelvic rest. This is my first pregnancy and it's really the hardest thing I've ever had to do.

Anyway... I went to my appointment on Wednesday. It really wasnt that horrible. We had a talk through session with the nurse, it was really informative and she was really sweet.

All the tests came back clear. Thank goodness. It looks like the basics of every appointment will be:
- Blood pressure
- Diabetes
- Urine test
- Measuring stomach <--- still not sure what this is for
- An injection <~ don't know what for
- Getting vitamins

Morning Pixielee

I am glad all went well for you, I will pray for you to get a boy. I have accepted that boys don't come easily in my family. my young sister has 2 gals and my younger brother also have a gal. after I found out I was very upset but now I am ok.

have you started buying things for your baby. I have not started yet.

Hi licious St Marys was much better although a very lengthy ordeal, I got there at 7:30 and left at 2 but at least they were thorough. Next appointments on monday and includes an U/S . I went for a private scan just before christmas and Im due 29/6/16.

@ PurpleHeart sorry to hear about the bruises, I think they go on robo mode half the time with no thought to what they doing! Im also hoping for a boy, I have a 5 year old daughter and two step daughters, 9 and 6. Far too many girls!!! And still six weeks to wait to find out

Purpleheart wow 20 weeks. its a half marathon I guess. I am 23 weeks.

Yesterday I went for a scan and its a gal. I was hoping for a boy but God planned otherwise. I already have an 11yrs old gal.

@licious my due date is May 22 2016. My next appointment is 20 Jan. I just hit the half way mark @ 20 weeks.
