Well it looks like any baby making plans are on a hiatus until the new year at least - thanks to my shiny new heart murmur! I got sick about a month ago now - like really vomity sick, which was all sorts of fun, any way I lying in the local A&E clinic and the Doctor is listening away to my chest and says "Your heart murmur is quite loud, isn't it?"
Cue surprised look from me.
So anyway, Doctor lady assures me that the murmur is due to the sick and that I will be all fine in a week. Accept I'm not. Gutted. The murmur is still there, wooshing away and on the advice of my GP I should wait for a cardiac assessment before getting pregnant. So we will do that, its not like waiting lists are that long right??
As a side note, if it turns out that if I do have something wrong with my heart, I cant wait to write letters to every PE teacher I ever had that said I was lazy because of my sucky beep test/cross country/team sport performances and get all guilt trippy on them about the hole in my heart being responsible for my lack of physical prowess. That will be quite sweet actually.
Jess you are hilarious! I was just reading your blog the other day wondering what was happening on the baby front. How long do you have to wait for a cardiac assessment? Pretend you are under 15 and come to my e.d we can do one for free :) p.s hope you are no longer vomity sick it is lame x
