I'm debating whether I should give my midwife a call. My GTT came back clear but for the last few days I've been having dizzy spells and been a little unsteady on my feet. I've tried sugary drinks and eating more but it's making no difference. Am I just being a major drama queen?
@Bluehawaii90 I hate when they just stab away like you're a pin cushion. I refuse to let them near my arms for blood. They have to use a butterfly clip in the back of my hand or I'm black and blue.
I'm terms of softening the cervix I think only medical induction can actually help speed it up x
I did speak to the wee ones Health Visitor about her 1 year check though, and apparently she needs to see me too as I'm close enough to 8 weeks to go by the appointment. I'm worried for the wee ones check more than mine because she was such a big baby but lately everyone keeps commenting on how 'dainty' she is. Maybe they're suggesting she doesn't eat me out of house and home 😂🙄.
I don't know if this antenatal meeting is a new thing as I never met the last HV until she was 10 days old? She didn't seem concerned about my symptoms as they had gone away and there's loads of movement but if it comes back says I should try calling triage.
@Witmore26 I read online that you can insert the EPO vaginally overnight but I personally stuck to swallowing them. Imagine they didn't dissolve properly and when you push baby out they're all stuck to its wee head 😂. I'd probably pass out!

Have you got a self referral place at your hospital for spd? I keep meaning to give them a call but there are times where it's not bothering me and other times where I can't move.
I'm back at the midwife on Wednesday as I was measuring big, hopefully he was just in a funny position or something.
Just got back from hospital, they've hooked me up to a heart monitor for the next week to see if they can catch these heart palpitations, I doubt they will but for now I'm hoping little one doesn't find the cables under my top and yank since they're stuck on pretty well 🤣
Having a nightmare week. My wee girl is still teething, she's taken a reaction to her jags so is spotty and miserable and none of us are getting much sleep. Better now than once there's a newborn in the mix though I suppose
@Witmore26 our class is just a 3 hour long one on 5th Oct! Then another breastfeeding one on 9th Nov.
I had to call triage again this morning with spotting again basically given same advice as last time to monitor it and wear a pad, then call back if it continues. I think it’s due to exertion because both times it has been the morning after I have had a busy day. Baby was pushing and kicking quite hard yesterday and I was stood up and bending a fair bit for work. My back was killing and bump really tight by last night. Taking it easy this morning before work this afternoon for a couple of hours. Both times it has been the day before my midwife appointment too
