heartburn is back

I think that the heartburn must be related to consuming anything whatsoever with sugar in. I have avoided it for the last couple of weeks but after drinking loads of ribena, orange squash and lime cordial + water yesterday I have had fierce heartburn again. Bitter!

The Heamatologist's office called yesterday to make an appointment for January 6th, which is great... not too long away. From there she said he'll probably be referring me to the 'High Risk Pregnancy' clinic in the hospital for my pre-natal care. Which is OK, I guess. I am not, thankfully, in too high of a risk category, but given that last time I ended up with Gestational Diabetes, way too much amniotic fluid, a blood clot, and a pulmonary embolism, I think that it's perhaps better safe than sorry this time. It means they'll be able to monitor me throughout the anti-coagulation therapy that I'll receive from 20wks plus...... and the birth will have to be co-ordinated with that to make sure they take me off it before I have the baby.
