That’s what an unsung hero would say xI know this is not necessarily helpful as MrA and his “unsung hero” talk was particularly popular in here the other day () but this sounds like what he gets with his reflux/heartburn. He does say omeprazole helps. Obviously he is decidedly un-pregnant but it does sound very similar to his symptoms!
I hope you’re adding ‘protein pisser’ to your LinkedIn profile!Weirdly enough everybody seems to have chilled out about my mystery protein trace. Went to the Day Unit for my five hours sitting in a cubicle on Monday and the doctor and obstetrics registrar were like "ehhhhh well guess you're just a protein pisser, it happens" (*). Had obstetrics clinic today and different obstetrics registrar was like "ehhhh dunno why, just seems to be the case, your bloods are consistently fine so eh, have some iron tablets though your ferritin is low" (which explains why I've been feeling a reet slug recently)
They'll up my monitoring once I'm into 32 weeks and then again once 36 weeks but whatever that blood test is they do to assess pre-eclampsia risk where if you're 30 or above you're high risk, I got 2.5 sothey might decide to induce me at bang on 40 weeks but I've also got a low lying placenta (which probably won't be an issue as it was 0.1cm closer to cervix than their limit so will probs have sorted itself out) so may have to have a C section anyway. WFK
I'm not completely free of being monitored but they're happy to space it out a bit more now

Glad baby’s fine! What an utter shit show at work though, I think you could probably bring a case for discrimination honestly. If I, as a teacher who does this a lot, was writing a document for an autistic child I would say “X needs clear instruction and may need instructions repeating to aid processing” rather than some patronising crap about “needing more instructions” and I literally teach 8-10 year olds. So you, as a proper actual adult, should never have such patronising crap on your own risk assessment or documents - how rude! Just get yourself signed off, that level of stress is no good for you or for baby. They can shove their paperwork, doctor’s note should be sufficient for you to be off work with stress.Had my 34 week midwife appointment today, blood pressure up by 20 in the 110s, midwife's face went all sombre and I've been immediately sent off to triagewhat a day for it, husband has got an important presentation this afternoon and we've got electricians in so I'm here by myself.
Work has been an utter shitshow, my "meeting to sign off stress risk assessment" which took place earlier this week degenerated into my bully manager trying to start an argument with my union rep, and HR hadn't shared any paperwork with me until half a day before, and my Manager and the head of my area had written MY risk assessment for me, and it was then them arguing with me saying what I've said caused me stress didn't happen or why I'm wrong about it or why I shouldn't be upset about them saying things like "LilyK needs more instructions than other individuals" to do with my being autistic
Got out of my midwife appointment reeling about having to go triage to a pissy message from my manager about how there's lots of emails in the inbox and my other two colleagues are now off til next week Better pull your finger out then love cos it's just you now.
Will probably sob about all of this at the obstetric doctor cos I can't deal any more or bear to do another of those meetings
Baby's fine though
not sure how much I can be arsed to fight it when I’ve got 4 weeks left until mat leave. If I was to get signed off I’d be the third person to go since September which says quite a lot about this place…Nemo & Dory!!!!Awwwww!!! I erm stupidly didn't even think about names... I just ran to Next knowing how much I've wanted to shop in the baby girl section
Unsung hero?MrA had a diva fit this evening because “he is the unsung hero” in thisso maybe not quite no longer a diva but better than he was! It sounds like your partner needs a bit of a kick up the bum with his job situation - either he has to put up with it or do something about it! Something better might well come along, if he looks for it first! Hopefully baby now on the way will mean he’s a bit more proactive - or he is just more accepting of his job to enable things to be easier whilst you’re pregnant and when baby is here. MrA hasn’t worked for half my pregnancy because he got made redundant in the summer then really struggled to find another job - he has one now but it won’t start until January, when I’ll be off and earning less
Haha yes, regarding the hormones there will be more times of rage/tears/both
Omg we’re date twins!! I’m at risk of preterm labour this time so v happy to have made it this far too!!32 weeks today, this just feels like such a milestone🥹 I was higher risk for premature labour with my son and then when I found out this pregnancy I was carrying twins my anxiety went through the roof and I really was expecting I'd have already given birth by now. I know I still have 5 weeks until I'm full term but I just feel like every day that goes by the chances of a positive outcome are more likely
The very first thing you’re going to do is not apologise. Pregnancy is wonderful but really scary and that’s without the losses you’ve had to endure. This (these) thread(s) are a safe space for you to download in and know that you aren’t alone.Hi, and thank you. Congratulations to you also. I haven’t got any proper symptoms, I don’t think? I feel a bit sick, especially on the evening - couldn’t eat tonight cuz I just felt repulsed and gaggy at food but not sure if that’s the mounjaro, as obviously I’m only 3 days out from my jab. I feel tired, although I don’t sleep great, so not necessarily pregnancy related. And I have intermittent “period” pain & back ache, which is what’s putting me on edge the most. Sometimes feel like my period could come that very second. Bit headache-y too. So, actually, saying I don’t think I have any symptoms and then listing some which actually are probably early pregnancy. Feel a bit like a fraud/like I don’t know what I’m doing/like it’s too early to feel these things. I’ve had 8 MC, never found out I was pregnant this early, normally around the 7 week mark and then mc within the 2 weeks after that. Sorry for rambling. I don’t want to burden RL people and feel like they’re rolling their eyes at me, people do this every day kind of thing
Wouldn’t that be a tale!!! We are very fond of Scots (mr muff’s dad is from aberdeeeeeeen) so very excited be in lawsYesssss! Congratulations Muff, Mr Muff and Baby Muff. At the risk of being heteronormative, I’m currently raising what could be a great husband/life partner for Baby Muff
So glad you are both well. What a hero for getting through on G&A and codeine.
I wonder was your drink of choice an oat latte.The only food aversion I’ve had this entire pregnancy was coffee in my first trimester, which was honestly totally heartbreaking for someone who usually had a coffee to start every day plus another 3 or 4 cups the rest of the dayI am fine with it now, but weirdly have got very jittery if I do have a proper coffee so have stuck to decaf. No judgement whatsoever from me on what others choose, pregnancy is absolutely hard enough without dealing with other people’s opinions and unsolicited advice!!
I'm in so much pain constantly, I'm just so ready for them to come out in 3 days
