Strøtanker og andet

I have now moved my blog to this place. Gives more options for me to play. Of course with a little help from the webdude, who allso is the host of this page.

I hope you will like it here.

Today I went to my first visit at the midwife, it was a big disapointment. She was more a wall of information, then someone who was, or seemed to be, interested in me. The whole session was more about what I should and should not do, and nothing much of what she sayed was new to me. The examination was 2 pushes on my belly, and a comment that my uterus had the rigth size.

Then she ordered 2 glucose tests becourse of my weigh and gave some folders. That was it. Next time is in week 24, so sometime in april.

Im ”only” in week 16. I just realised that its actually 4 months pregnant, so time is passing faster then expected.

Im glad that i dont feel so unsecure about the whole pregnansy thing. Im pretty much at ease with it and like to take things as they come. I have a feeling that everything is fine and good. I feel great, im bit more tired then usual, but nothing bad.

Workwise I keep haveing my doubts. This weekend was the weekend from hell at work. Im suppose to leave after 6 hours, but the 3 days I been in after that deal it have not been possible. Everyone is running around, and nothing we can do is sufficient. this weekend have suffered from lag of staff compared to needs of our patients. I know everyone say I should be selfish and do as I need, but it’s REALLY hard to just leave 3 coworkers in caos.

I decided that i must be my job at work to spread positive feeling, and tell my coworkers how great they are. Mentally my work dont stress me, when I only work 18 hours, so i can try to spread some of my good mood and feeling. They really do need it sometimes.

My pelvis have been a bit worse today, but I think its becourse of the work this weekend. I do think it will be better soon. As it is now i just work one day a time and see how it goes.

Tomorrow I start on a gym team planned by the physiotherapists at work. Its designed for pregnant women. Im looking forward to see how that goes. I hope that the water gym team to start up soon, it would be a great thing for me to join.

I now lost 8.5 kilos and im loosing my pants. I can feel my belly getting more firm, underneath a bit of blubber. The baby is growing in there. I think I felt bubbles, im still in doubt, but it might be the first movements. Im in week 16 now so its very early, but sometimes i am allmost sure. It dont all feel like gas.

Its time to head for bed, I got a new pillow to cuddle. It feels unpleasent and painfull to sleep without something between my knees, so I look forward to useing this one. My poor sofa pillow could not stand the pressure and turned too flat.

Its so nice to have Matthew around. Hes been very good about haveing to carry everything, and is a good and careing support.

Today I been browsing on Netbaby’s homepage. And for fun i desided to start makeing a list of names i like. I started with the legally approved danish names. I started at A and then reading trough. When i made it to L this thing poped op and surprised me alot.

In Denmark there is actually 29 women called Lillemor as a name. I just wonder who call their child that ? Or how the official Denmark react. I can only just imagen how a bank worker would react when you call in and want to open a account and he aske for the name.

There are alot of odd names on that list, and i still oly made it to M. Looking at it till makes me think there is some serius cruel parents out the this country.

Yesterday I went to work in the normal way. And even tho I had a pretty easy day, i could feel that a 8 hour workday isnt good for the pain i have in my pelvis.

After talking about this with my GP last week i decided i would go down in hours at work. For now I will be working just 6 hours a time for 3 days a week. And that only in dayshifts. I prefor it this way with a hope that I can then keep on working untill may where im suppose to go on maternity leave.

Being pregnant seems to me as a fulltime job tho. Specially after the problems with pains in my pelvis started. I have to exercise once a day. I signed on to a pregnancy gym team, and in near future also a water gym team. On top of that i see a physiotherapist about once a week. Luckily its all free as long as i still work. Rigshospitalet offer to help their pregnant staff to stay at work as long as possible.

On top of all the things i go to I have to go to a Dietician and extra doctors apointments due to my weight. I dont think the dietician can help me much as it is, as a seem to be doing pretty well as it is. My start weight when I got pregnant was 105, and im now down to 97.2. I do wonder how long this will go on, and expect that at some point it will start to go the other way. Hopefully not to much tho.

The reason for my weightloss have not been hard work or evil diets. Its been very simple lack of lust to eat sweets and cakes. I dont feel like eating as much as i used to either. My portions have almost halfed, tho I need to eat a bit more offen.

I think it might be on time to go get some more vitamins, as i dont drink milk. I need to ask my GP for how long i should take folic acid as well, cus i heard its only needed for 3 first months. And in next week im entering the 4th.

Its a bit odd that so much time has passed. Getting a baby feels like something i will do in a far awey future, and not something that will happen soon. Well 5 months isnt that soon, and im not planning on shopping for at least 2 months more, i think.

What I think we need to start doing soon is to start to clear out some of all that clutter that have been gathering around in the house. Need to get rid of stuff that we never use. We live on about 50 square meters, so spacemakeing is needed. Its a annoying task, so I want to spread it over a loooong time before I get to tired and heavy to do it proberly.

For now i will just enjoy the rest of today, and go get some food. When i get hungry these days, it feels VERY urgent.

This is the new way of my very old blog.

My life have changed direction a bit. I still have the same job, the same apartment and the same boyfriend. The change in direction is something that is beginning inside me.

I saw it first time a weeks time ago, it have two arms, two legs, and a very clear mind to not want to cooperate with outsiders.

Im pregnant, we are haveing a baby, and its great. Untill last friday i still had my doubts that it was actually real. Noone had examined me and in some odd way it could still be something just in my head. Then we went to the scann and saw the little thing squirming around like a shrimp.

Im in week 14, tomorrow its week 15. I lost a bit more then 7 kilos from when i got pregnant till now. I feel pretty well in most ways, tho my pelvis is starting to complain when i work to much. Tomorrow i will take a full shift at work and see how it goes, if it gets to much i might have to talk to my boss about getting a change of hours dureing my pregnancy.

I hope very much i can stay alot longer at work, cus theres a LONG time till July 7th where im due.

I will end this post with the two tiny pictures that was taken of the little liveing thing inside me, for those of you who can see what it is.
