The past few days have been weird...

On wednesday I felt a lil odd n faint,but managed to go out shopping with my friend who was visiting sheffield. I hadnt' seen her since january as her n her partner moved to a area outside of manchester as he could have a better paid job there n jen fancied a change to. She is also pregnant and it was really sweet when we both went to touch each others grown bumps! We spent the day chatting n oooin n awwing at cute things for babies n it was just really nice. I was meant to go to my knitting group in the eve but after dying my hair a blacky blue,by accident I mistook midnight oasis to be black :/..n havin a shower I just felt like I wanted to rest n out my feet up instead of trecking on the bus in the cold n gettin back home late.
On thursday my boyfriend was out for the day and I really didn't know what to do with myself as I was feeling not to good. At about 4 I was just sat down waiting for deal or no deal to come on when out of the blue I felt dizzy even though I had been sat down for ages n had recentlly eaten. I looked up my symptoms online to see what could be wrong n once I noticed allthough dizziness is common in pregnancy but to be weary of severe headaches n pains I rang the midwifes at the local hospital as I haven't got a new one at my gp's yet. She said to have paracetamol for my headache n a bath for my pains. So my boyfriend came back bringing paracetamol and a twix n maltesers with him..I thought he was going to stop in but as he thought I was ok n his friend he hadn't seen for abot 2 years had jsut rung him he said he was going to meet him for a bit n then come back n if I needed him he would come home. Obviously a pregnant lady in pain is a scared one..So I did feel a bit bummed out about him going back out. Now I think I was bein a bit ott n that really he knew I was ok n I just needed to calm down. The midwife I had spoke to said that if the pains didn't stop so when they hadn't by 9 and my boyfriend had gotten back we went of in a taxi to a&e at about half 10 as we had to wait for an out of hours doctor to ring n advise us what to do. He was pretty certain I was havin premature contractions...We saw a nurse at a&e and she said to expect a miscarriage but booked us in to have an ermergency scan in the morning. So all night I couldn't sleep as I was scared of losing our baby n kept havin these odd pains.
On friday we went to the hospital for the scan at about 9. The midwife there said that the out of hours gp and the nurse at a&e had been very hasty to presume it was a miscarraige and that she thought it was most likely to be growing pains or just my body adjusting and feeling discomfort. So that was a slight relief to us. A doctor then did a sound scan to check if he could hear the baby's heartbeat and it was very intense waiting to hear it as it is hard to find. But then we did and it was like everything was ok now. My boyfriend made me giggle cause he said it sounded like galloping! He sure knows how to make me laugh at awkward times :). We then came home,and popped into a cafe for something to eat on the way. I had a nice sleep and then we went to see our friends. Me n my friend nat have been trying to learn how to crochet for a while now so when I found a crochetin mag that came with a dvd and a hook n yarn for 50p in a local charity shop I was very happy! We have been trying to learn from books but couldn't really understand it. So watching the dvd was really helpful,even my boyfriend tried to have a go but I showed him how to do it wrong n basically told him how to cast on ready to knit instead! Ah the joys of mushypea pregnancy brain eh! We stayed at our friends quite late which made me a bit mardy as I was quite tired but to be honest it was nice to stay out late in a way. They were all drinking and there I was with my water, I did try to drink normal tea but it made me feel a bit odd :/. I also rediscovered bacon tomatoe n lettuce sandwhiches as one of my friends had bacon n I had been wanting it all day. Two of my friends made them selfs fried egg n quaver crips sandwhiches lol! Apparently they are nice but I think it sounds icky..
Which brings me to today. Today I feel a bit dazed, I am going to watch a episode of glee I missed to try n perk me up soon. Me n my boyfriend are going to a gig to see a few rockabilly bands in a few hours. He really likes and knows these bands but me I don't I do like some rockabilly n pyschobilly bands though so I am looking forward to it actually. I've not really been to a gig to see bands I don't really know before so it will be a new experience for me. Also I know it is ok to go to a gig pregnant as my old art teacher told me about how she was pregnant and went to see the band Pulp in the 90's..Also I will stay clear of any moshing or what not lol!
It is also a sunny day in Sheffield which is rare and nice and me and my boyfriend are so happy and relieved that our baby is ok. I just hope that we won't have to have any more odd a&e experiences!
This has been a very long blog as I haven't blooged since tuesday. Overall the jist is: We have had a very intense n worrying experience and are discovering the true worry that comes with being parents. But that things are going well and we are having more of a social life lately which is really nice.
