He's mostly 'armless...
But I don't know, does that mean I wait for the tail to turn up before seeking help?
Yeah, I know, hilarious. And my nose is wonky.
So I did actually ask him since there has been all this stuff about pregnant women being at high risk and going into comas and lots of reports of women worldwide losing their babies before or shortly after birth. Then just today after my appointment I saw the paper and one local girl has lost her unborn baby at 36 weeks because the girl got swine flu. The news was calling it the first local loss of life to swine flu which I thought was good that they were recognising that her baby counted. I fully expected that it would be swept aside as an unfortunate "side effect" to her getting swine flu because sadly this country doesn't recognise unborn children as real people.
The media is loving sensationalising swine flu so I figured I should ask my doctor rather than take my medical advice from channel 7. I also spent the weekend with my head so clogged with goop I thought my brain would explode and my glands swollen up so huge that I could have been mistaken for a courting froggy. Dr Steve said I have no more need to get paranoid than the rest of the community but he suggested no unnecessary outings to crowded places. He said he wouldn't be going out to dinner or going shopping too much, that sort of thing. I will still be needing to do groceries since we are a bit backwards here and aren't doing online groceries yet. No need for quarantining myself and skipping playgroup and bible study and stuff but just caution.
There has been a big increase in cases locally with all the recent events. The show, school holidays, V8 supercars, etc. so now we are living in a hotbed of H1N1 activity. Yay for us.
So still no holiday photos because I am holding out for that computer to turn up. I am starting to think about caving and just loading them up but I am being as strong as I can.
There's only 6 weeks till we get to meet this little gymnast/soccer player/crumper. People keep saying things like "oh, you look like you have more than 6 weeks to go". What I want to know is how huge do they want me to get? I was looking bigger all last week then Friday morning it did a little dance/somersault/high kick or something and my whole belly shape changed. I'm pretty sure in a few days people will be telling me that my dates must be wrong and I'm going to go any day. Because you know... the general public just know those sorts of things... remind me again, why am I paying my obstetrician? It's upped it's intake of Red Bull I think, it's getting more and more active all the time... Bigger and more active... That's a winning combination for my bladder!
