Had my 32 weeks additional scan - all seemed to be fine, baby is heads down measured 1760 g.
This was followed by endocrinologist. I am currently on levothyroxine 125mg and my TSH is 0.55 with 0.35 lower limit. TSH was 1.2 past time. So I raised I need a decreased doze but the doctor said it would be reviewed 6 weeks after delivery and adjusted. No much justification given and I am feeling I am risking to overdose soon as baby is in active growth and started producing own hormones.
Other concern I had was swelling which started just now and my blood pressure is 125 as opposed to 95 before. I know 125 is generally perfectly normal but I never had such high before. I was normally 100-110 before pregnancy and it dropped since I conceived.So its definitely high for me and its two months to go and the trend isn't great. Again they said its all fine with no explanation.
Than I had my antenatal app (yes, with all the waiting spent half of the day in the hospital). And it was a disaster. I asked about labour and delivery saying what if I don't want to have vaginal examination as it doesn't have much value in terms of labour progression and will stress me out. I wanted to know if this would be respected by the staff.And the midwife got all aggressive saying she HAD to check me every four hours. If I don't want to I should have home birth. Also if I don't want manual examinations I need to sign to take all the responsibility for the baby.She was not listening and keep saying are you a doctor and how can you know better?
Was a complete disaster. We moved towards what if I am not progressing within the protocol (written 30 years ago) and dilated less they would need to stimulate the labour. So obviously it looks I will have to argue and fight every step to have a natural birth with no medical interventions. Thinking of changing my hospital (currently with Harlow) to Lister. Any advice?

Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
