Been gone for over a week now because my computer died on me and we had to order a new power supply. I now have it fixed so I'll be posting again.

I had my first midwife appointment and it was such a bust. Because my last real period was Oct 3rd that's the date they are going by for this pregnancy, even though I had bleeding in November but since it was only a day they are not going to count that as a loss. She would not hear me out at all which annoyed me and here they wont do U/S for dating reasons. I think it's really dumb to go by my LMS when I know for a fact I am not over 11weeks. Well, since the midwife I'll be seeing wasn't there we set a time for next week to do all the normal first appointment things. So needless to say I am super annoyed with them and really hating how they do things here.

I am having a really hard time with this pregnancy. My m/s is so bad and 24-7, I can't even sleep it's so bad. I am super hungry 24-7 no matter how much I eat it never seems like enough and I always have hunger pains which does not help the nausea. I am over tired and falling asleep everywhere, even if I get a good nap I am still unable to make it past 8pm. I am mega dizzy and lightheaded and can't even stand for more than 5 mins without having to sit down and of course I end up not being able to breath. This is by far the worse pregnancy I've ever had.

Chris had his final meeting for his Autism screening, he is now officially diagnosed with Autism. We'll be trying to get him into the special Autism preschool as soon as we're able to. He's doing great though, they have seen him get better, he's communicates a lot more than he did months ago and he's finally using ASL some and using it correctly, right now he's learning "thank you" and "water" which he has signed a few times without help. We're very proud of him.

Alissa is doing better in her weight gain, she's still only 14lbs but slowly going up. She still hasn't learned to fully crawl yet but can army crawl really good and is all over the place. She's learned to point though and loves to point and poke at things. She still sucks at solids, if there are any type of chunks at all she chocks, even if they are super small so she still only eats purees and even then she'll only eat fruits. So eating is going to be a real problem with her.

Sorry it's so long and I don't blame you for not reading it all If you actually did read it all.. you are awesome!

Sorry your having a tough time with your m/w and pregnancy {hugs} I'm assuming then if they think your 11-12 weeks along than they must be supper concerned they are unable to doppler a heartbeat.... I hope they check that out for you ASAP with an u/s
glad he finally got the Dx so you can get proper treatment and stuff!!!

Thanks for the update! Totally feel your pain with the m/s - here I am at almost 37 weeks and I'm still throwing up/gagging every morning. So looking forward to this pregnancy being OVER!

*hugs* i really hope your m/s improves soon. sounds like your kidlets are doing well though. can you switch midwives? whereabouts are you again? sweden was it?

[JediRach]

First off, feel better. I was so sick those first few weeks, day and night. I hope it passes quickly

Sounds like your other kiddos are well. Happy to hear Chris is improving!

Can you change midwives? It sounds like you might not jive with her in the future if you are already having issues.

Sorry about the m/s, ill-feelings and the midwife trouble.

I'm happy to hear Chris is improving.

Thanks.

Yes, I am in Sweden. And sadly I cannot change midwifes but I don't think it's the midwife that's the problem. I think any midwife would be the same way, just how things are done here.
