Is anyone else experiencing tightness or the need to stretch out across their lower abdomen? OB says it could be BH or stretching. I notice it more when I stand up after having been seated for a while, which makes me think it's more a stretching.

I am sorry about your glucose. hopefully you will pass the three hours test.

yes, I have been getting alot of tightness and I think it is both BH and stretching.

I have some rasp leaf capsules from before getting pregnant. I might try those too. Sill read more on the web in addition to the links you posted SS.

No out of the ordinary tightness for me. I still look very big. Kind of like a big ball is under my clothing. I look ugly and with a puffy face (very true) in my wedding pics, but will post a body shot when i get home to my laptop.

I am starting to feel as if my hands are swollen. I assume that is water retention.

I also decided to take off from work may 7. That is when the 2nd marking period ends fOr the students... I am just so tired always and the ealk to work from the subway and back is just too much. I get pains when i walk to much and little A (i think we finally have it!) sits on my bladder and other organs and hurts me. So I am just gonna call it quits at work!!

Another weekend has arrived! Anyone doing anything fun? I go home early sunday. The vacation is officially over and the honeymoon as well since dh is on his way home. I will see him again on or about june 8th. (im due the 14th. Should he book his ticket for the 8th?? So hard to predict!!!)

I think flying makes water retention easier to happen or maybe it's just all the extra sitting in an awkward position. I drink carbonated lime water to help with retention and help keep me flushed. Give it a go and be prepared to have many bathroom trips!

...and CONGRATS!!!

Hi ladies,

Hope everyone is well. I passed my GTT(Gloucose Tolerence Test) that I had to do on 29/03 just because MW said I was measuring 2wks ahead(student MW measured me and the actual MW didn't double check it)also my BMI at 28wks was over 31(she didn't even weigh me or check my heaight she just looked me up and down)she also didn't ask me if diabetes runs in the family or if I had a thirst that I could not get rid of! If she had I would of answered no to both questions. I told her I though her reasons for sending me were wrong and that I knew I didn't have diabetes and, I was proved right! The MW that sent me didn't even fill out a form so had o get one signed and faxed over from my GP! To say I wasn't impressed with her is an understatement. I also had to fast from 10pm the night before having nothing but plain water only, have the 1st blood test, drink the gloucose soloution, have another blood test 1hr later and, a 3rd blood test 1hr after that one. Once the 1st blood test has been taken I can't eat or drink anything until after my 3rd test. Baby was going nuts once I had taken the solution. Needless to say I will be complaining about her to my actual MW when I see her next Thurs 19/04 oh the MW I'm not impressed with also told me at my booking in appointment that the hospital where I am going to give birth don't offer pethadine anymore!!!! She is sooooooooo wrong on that one too!!!!! Here's to having 8.5wks to go til DDay. I finish work on 02/05 as I have 3wks+1day AL to use then my mat leave starts from 04/06 and I am due back at work on 03/03/2013

sounds good to me. When are the rest of you leaving work?

StarSign · Apr 14th, 2012, 13:54 PM

Shmoo..so much GTT drama, I'm telling you. But glad it's all worked out. As a USA gal, I won't be leaving until close to when the baby's coming and I'm out until the Fall only. Enjoy the extra time you'll have off for me

shmoo75 · Apr 14th, 2012, 16:54 PM

StarSign - I know gloucose gloucos and more gloucose!!!! I will try and enjoy my time off but, with a 20mth old, newborn, hubby and house to look after roll on January when I have Jury Service I will be in need of a break I think!!!!!

sadie · Apr 14th, 2012, 19:23 PM

What an annoyance, shmoo. Iam glad that the test was in your favor and good for you for being on top of these things. We all really need to speak up.

I think my official last day of work is the 7th of may. Cant wait. I will receive full pay until aug31 simply because my 10 month job pays out in 12 months. Then, no more income until I go back to work. Atm, i dont know when that will be.

Anyone ever use a doula??

Sadie - Loving the bump pic. I will get DH to take a pic of me tonight and I will pop it on here tomorrow as I am also 32wks

Off to see MW soon just waiting for my neighbour to pop in and keep an eye on DD as she is still asleep. She has taken to sleeping over 2hrs during the day and being really tired at about 8pm so she is in her cot for then but, wont go to sleep until about 9pm!!! So annoying!! She isn't screaming/crying she is just fighting it as we watch her on the video monitor she lies down and just as she feels herself about to nod off she forces herself to move or talk or something until she is that tired she just goes to sleep!!

Little monkey!!!! Hope you are all well.XXX

Gotta take some more pics. I've stopped doing as much wheat as that was REALLY inflaming my digestive system. So, no pasta for a while and limited rice even. I'm relegated to corn tortilla taco salads..good thing I like them! I'll do my watermelon post by this weekend...
