time for a blog

Comment Published at 04:3704:3723 comments23 comments46 Visits46 VisitsReport

Today i had my 32 week ultrasound to see how bubs is growing. He weighs 3pounds at the moment. I got reallya ngry at the sonographer. I wanted the u/s on dvd and brought a dvd along but she sed his too big anyway and i wudnt see much, i was so angry.Like i care if i dont see much, its still my baby and still something ill never get to see again with him. He will only be in my tummy once!!

Anyway, cos bubs head is engaged she wanted me to pull my pants down ahahahha, i did it but she kept saying lower, lower,lower and i just felt so nervous. I know soon ill have no pants on in front of plenty of people but i just didnt feel comfortable with this lady.she was just rude and was angry that she had to answer my questions.

She said bubs looks settled down low nicely and she cant see him changing positions so i guess it will be a natural birth. Towards the end she took a last photo, it looked like the blood supply through the umbilical cord. She told me to wait in the room while she shows the docotr. 10 mins later she comes bak, here i am worrying and she says everything is fine you can go and your midwife you give you the results about the u/s.

So now im worried as if something is wrong, but i guess if something was reallyw rong theyw ud have to say something then and there or they wud have had my midwife call me???? oh just remembered my number is changed GREAT!! back to worrying now

I got a pic out of her tho, of his face. He has big lips and chubby cheeks hahaha, id put the pic up but it sin the car and i dunno where my bf put my car keys??? he is sleeping, ill get it tomorrow tho.

I havnt beenf eeling well the last 2days.Keep getting the braxton hicks, stupid me doesnt record them down ggrrrr, ive got to remember to start doing it. I feel like passing out at times cos i cant breathe and then i feel like throwing up.. I hope these last weeks fly and that everythig is fine with bubs, im just way to stressed and cant handle this much longer. This really hasnt been a pleasent experience at all for me

Well im gonna stop typing now my wrists hurt ahhahaha.. Ill blog tomorrow.

Dannii xxo

Re: time for a blog

Wow!  Really not long to go now Dannii!  Count down clock on for you!

Your sonographer, like mine, needs that device shoved somewhere I won't mention.  Unfortunately Dannii, they aren't the ones who write the reports for your doc or midwife, they only take the pics.  That means, that if there is something wrong, they can't say anything.  Legallities and all.  I would say though, that they probably saw the cord problem you already know about, and were just double checking.  I'm sure little man Ashton is just fine though.

Hey, if they send you to Brisbane, we can spend the day at the craft shop! ROFL.  Like they'd do that to you, Melbourne has everything you need.  Oh so need a teleport!

Those braxton hicks contractions can certainly be intense.  You should be using them for the real event, will help with your pain management and should become instinctive when the big push does come.

Make sure you rest as much as you can now, as once that little man makes an appearance, rest is going to cost more than petrol does!

Re: time for a blog

How exciting!  Wow 32 weeks.  I can't believe it!  I remember when you first came on and said that you were expecting.  My how time flies!  I read your other blogs, gotta love the clothes, huh?  I know that was my biggest weakness too.  It sounds like the U/S lady needed a day off, what a grump!  I know we had my baby girls pic on video and not my sons.  But glad you got a picture of him.  Just a few more weeks and hopefully we can see lots of pics?  Take it easy and make sure you go slow, you know the BH contractions will just get worse, sorry, the more you move around.  Hang in there, it's almost over!

Lots of love,
Letti

Hello Dannii

Great to hear that you have been feeling well. I remember those pain feelings.. Actually i remember walking thru the shopping centre one day and i literally had to stop and rest on the trolley coz i thought i was gunna pass out from the pain. HAHA if only i had known just how much more it would hurt when i was in labour!! LOL

What a b*tch not to do the dvd for you. They told me the same thing at 30 weeks. They werent even going to give me a pic! But i got one LOL

Sounds like bub is all packed and ready to go now. Just has to double check he's got everything!! PMSL

Well hunni, i hope the last few weeks of your pregnancy fly by for you. You must be getting sooo excited now!!

Big hugs and kisses, Cass and Austin xoxox

Re: time for a blog

Hey Cass,

The pains are doing my head in lol.. I try to think of them as good pains cos i know ill be in alot more pain in a few weeks. I had bad periods before i got preggy, very painful but i handled them well. Because of not having a period for so long these pains seem like they hurt but my period cramps were worse. Im pretty confident taht i should handle labour well, if i odnt, then oh well, he still needs to come out lol..

Yep thats exactly what she was!! Im just happy i got the pic out of her, the other one was better but she sed, oh i didnt thik u wanted a pic.hahahaha, i wanted  a dvd done and cudnt have it so like i didnt want a pic..

Yeh bubs is settled down low and i have a feeling he could come anytime so im just trying to take it easy cos he needs a few more weeks. I hope these last few weeks fly too, ive heard this is the worst part of pregnancy.

Hey Dannii
Did you end up having the 3D scan? Its such a shame you didnt get the DVD, I mean, if you brought it its not like its difficult to put it into the computer! What a cow. I'm glad you got a pic though, cant wait to see it!
Dont stress, if there is anything wrong or they have any concerns they ask you to get into the doctor straight away, so there is nothing to worry about, just that that woman had no bedside manners!!
Hope all is well with you sweetness, and that the house is all sorted and you are back on the net soon!

Hey,

 No i didnt have a 3d scan, it was a normal one. I was ringing today about a 4d scan but it didnt go to well, ill blog about it soon :(

I think this lady was just in a hurry to eat lunch or something, i really didnt care if i wudnt get to see much on the dvd, i still wanted it.  Yeah i dont thik naything is wrong with bubs, i wudnt know what that lady was doing she was just rude. I see my ob on Wednesday so ill find out everything then, im a little nervous lol, dont know wat to expect ???

House is getting tehre slowly, its hard cos my bf works and im trying to rest as much as i can. Im pretty happy hto cos this house is huge and ive kept it really clean, just got bits n pieces to pack away slowly, no hurry at the moment.

Re: time for a blog

Hey Dannii,

Not long now.... and as everybody has said try not to stress and get plenty of rest.    I disliked being preggers and I had nothing wrong until the last 2 mths.  Then it started the ichness and the leg cramps etc...

Pitty you didn't get the DVD....  What a B___h that lady was. 

Take care - Angie

OHH the leg cramps are the worst!! I roll around on my bed crying most days when i wake up, its realy painful.I just hope i dont get them during the labour cos that would be the worst!!

Ye she was a B**** for not doing the dvd, but oh well something will come her way one day..

Re: time for a blog

Hi dannii i AM SURE IF THERE WAS SOMETHING really wrong the lady would have got you to see your midwife or dr straight away.Sounds like bub is ready to go just try and relax and rest in the last few weeks as when bub arrives you will be a busy lady lol.Not that long now.

Re: time for a blog

Hey Cham, Yeah you are right, im sure they would have gotten me to see somebody straight away, i guess im just nervous.

Im trying to rest as much as i can, bubs is alot stronger now and when he moves it gets pretty painful so i cant do too much anyway. Nope not long now, at least should be a month, hopefully he waits that long.

Re: time for a blog

Hey Bel,

My last 2 sonographers were male, and so much more nicer and alot more informative then the cow i got yesterday!!  I would have been embarresed pulling my pants down in front of a guy tho lol, guess i have to get over that cos a guy could deliver bubs hahahaha... I hope time flys, im so over being pregnant.Ive posted the pic up of the scan, they squashed his nose a little lol, his already like fully engaged and his head is turned to the side so its pretty squashy.

Re: time for a blog

That sonographer sounds like a right b***h! I'm sorry you didn't get your dvd, and that she has made you stressed, but I'm sure if something was wrong they would have wanted you seen straight away.

The last few weeks can be really uncomfortable so rest up & enjoy your quiet time while you can!

Re: time for a blog

Hey Teshia,

Yeah im thinking now maybe this lady was just hungry and didnt want me taking up all her time... Ive heard between 32wks- 36wks is the worse part of pregnancy and id ahve to say it is for me so far, with all the extra weight and everything inside preparing for the birth, its not great feelings i get.

I'll ever have quiet time, thats jjust impossible, but im fine with it.

Re: time for a blog

Hi Danni,

How exciting, the head is engaged. Wow it is cool watching your whole pregnancy progress. Not long to go now, and yes then you will have no shame. All the inhibitions go out the window then! Hope all is fine. If the doctor had any concerns I am sure he would have talked to you. Make sure you give them your new number very soon. Don't stress too much as if they want to get hold of you there is usually more then one number they can get. I usually always put my mums as well down so I am sure they would have asked for more then one number. Take care of yourself, Lynette xx

Re: time for a blog

Hey Lynette,

Yeah its exciting the head is in position, and they say it doesnt look like he will be changing now.. They also say tho that they dont see a head normally so low until 37weeks, so it worries me a little.

I dont think i gave them any other numbers, i think they have my sisters house fone number tho, ill definetly give them the new number when i go in on wednesday.

Re: time for a blog

The last few weeks is the most uncomfortable and I keep reminding myself that I am at the best time of pregnancy as I can still move freely. That sonographer was rude and I thought I was the only one that they felt the need to be rude too! lol. I have decided that this time round I am not just going to lay back (excuse the pun) and except what they put you through I am going to question everything and make sure that they know that they have upset me its only when they know what they are doing wrong that they can change it, I know that it may be just a job to them at the end of the day but to most of us it is a once in a lifetime moment.

I understand that they are doing a valuble job but a bit of kindness and a smile wouldn't go a miss.

Re: time for a blog

Hey Clare, Yes i thought when i was at your stage, that things couldnt get any worse but i was wrong lol, its a whole new lot of pains but i can handle them.

No one should be rude to anyone, and you shouldnt feel they can be rude to you!! I really should have said something to her but i just couldnt be bothered, my midwife is the best and im happy i was blessed with the greatest midwife.

I do agree a little kindness and smile wouldnt hurt them, maybe it was time for her to change her job, she is probly sick of doing the same thing lol, i really should have complained but ohw ell.

Re: time for a blog

Sorry to interrupt. lol

I agree, when people work in places where they have to deal with other people (clients, customers etc) , their lack of interest in their job reflects in their work...

You get that a lot with those in the medical profession..
or even at your local bakery !

I remember when I was working, there were many customers who were rude to me, but I would STILL keep a smile on my face...

I guess, for some, they just can't be bothered.. (which is pathetic, because then you get the short end of the stick!)
And you're right, maybe it IS time for them to change their job and not take their resentment out on others !! lol

Re: time for a blog

i cant believe the nerve of that sonographer !
who cares if u cant see much..
its YOUR child and you have a right to see him if u want to..
whether its his whole body or a quarter of it !!!!

lol this bit was funny though:
"Anyway, cos bubs head is engaged she wanted me to pull my pants down ahahahha, i did it but she kept saying lower, lower,lower and i just felt so nervous." LOL

but anywho, she shouldn't have been so bitchy about answering your questions..
i had several nurses who were like that to me at the hospital, after i had alisha..
they treated me like i was a kid and like i didn't know anything !

awww hey dannii, dont worry about lil ashton kk..
i know its hard, but if they havent sed anything, it should b ok :)

and hey, just try ur best to keep ur stress levels down hey...
cuz then ashton will arrive safe and healthy, just like u want !!!! :)

sorry to hear ur feeling so bad..
just remember, at the end of all of this, you're going to be able to hold your lovely lil boy in your arms !
and all those bad feelings during pregnancy will go away :)

love thuy xox

Re: time for a blog

Hey Thuy,

Im so over it now, she will get hers one day im sure!!

I was so embarrased pulling my pants down, i dont know why, but im gla dit was a female, but ive overcome that fear now so should be ok from now on if i have to do it again, soon ill have to show everything ahahahhaa..

Ive only had to midwifes, both have been fantastic and so informative and funny, they make me feel comfortable!! One of them will be delivering bubs too, its some new policy they brought into my hospital.

Yeah im trying not to stress, i lay down as much as i can and alway shave a break after i do something, everythign should be good, ill be happy if he styas in for another month.

Dannii xxo
