22-3-2012 - 32 Weeks 6days pregnant [iron transfusion]

My mood while writing this blog: chilled

Yesterday I went had had my iron transfusion we had to be at the hospital for 8am, due to peak hour traffic been so jammed up and every car in our city on the free-way we ended up been 10-15 minutes late which didn't make a major difference . I got hooked up to and IV and they only put 200ml of iron into the bag as they usually do between 500-1000ml but because I have such a bad reaction to iron over the past they didn't want to risk giving me to much and me feeling really sick, I was stuck on an IV for over 6 hours both me and my partner where bored as hell sitting around waiting all day, they brought me heaps of food through out the day though and they where loading my partner with food and coffee as well, after the iron had fully gone in they gave me a B12 injection which hurt so much because it went into the muscle I swear I nearly broke my partners finger from holding it so tightly....

After all that I came home and went and laid on the couch and my partner had to start work [night shifts suck] and I ended up sleeping on the couch until 2am before rolling into bed woke up this morning and felt like crap, I don't think the iron really agreed with me but it's good for baby to have some and also they said I needed some so I could breast feed her when she is born, so all in all made me feel like crap but it's all for my little girl.

Tomorrow I have a 33 week growth scan and for some reason every single time I have to go for an ultra sound I get nervous but I love going to them to see my little one and get more pictures, but my anxiety takes over and it always seems so scary in ultra sounds.

I have another one after tomorrow at 36 weeks for another growth scan they do a few through out my pregnancy because of a condition I got that can sometimes affects babys growth and also now having gestational diabeties they keep a close eye on everything and the progress.

As for now I'm getting more and more anxious for the 7th of May 2012 to come because I can't wait to meet my little princess and finally hold her and kiss her and spend hours looking at my beautiful girl, and my partner is getting more and more excited too, he can't wait to meet his princess either.

Love you more than ever Laila-Grace xoxo
