Monday I nursed my poor kidneys, and today I found out my urine sample didn't show an infection ... so that means it's my dodgy hormones playing up and weakening my bladder and kidneys and all sorts. Darned IR. I was ok when I had my Estradiol patches ... I'm going to call Whitcroft's office and ask what I can do as the antibiotics are doing nothing really, as there isn't an infection. Next time it happens I suppose we'll send the sample to the lab before I start taking antibiotics. So a lot of the pain has gone now anyway, and I am drinking more, but being ill took its toll on my diet and cooking - I just didn't cook, and now I have left sided owies. Very annoying. I did cook today. And we had fish. I need to not be so run down and poorly. I really enjoyed getting some studying done last week.
Tuesday was a far more positive day, Mamma came and took me to Sarah's for the coffee morning and we had a lovely time. Was nice to hang out with Mum with no distractions. We planned and plotted about baby slings and flannel family beds, swaddle cloths, kanthas and all sorts. After she dropped me home I did struggle to eat stuff, and my choices weren't great, but minimal damage under the circumstances ... I went to Yoga in Royston at 5:15, and there was another lady there! Wendy's her name, and as I found out when we left after the session, she lives on Barkway which is brilliant (its the big road next to ours!)
So we swapped numbers and will try and go swimming together on Friday. We plan on trying to find the right bus. We think it leaves from Somerfield.
I had lots of bus expeditions today - I got the 26 to the Surgery - it was late and so was I. The shame of it! Midwife Anabel was very kind though, didn't give me a hard time and saw me right away. Seems all is fine with me and the baby. We had a listen to the heartbeat - such a lovely sound! The baby kept moving about. Not that I can feel it yet.
I got a different bus back (to Somerfield) and went to buy some fish and veg and fruit. Apart from getting stuck behind a little old lady at the cashpoint who seemed to have 5 cards to use to take money out with ... everything went smoothly. I felt fine at the fish van, so that awful part of this pregnancy when I could not stand the smell is now gone - yaay! - long may it stay away.
I have felt well today. I do know I have to make a big effort again with my food. I have been craving cake etc - not that I want to actually eat it, just wanting it in a way I know means I've had too many carbs already. It's not actual hunger. Darn it. A few servings of ramen noodles and some biscuits and this is where I get.
