I get little bouts of it but Im able to keep my food down

Just as long as I dont smell coffee or cigarettes, Im less likely to gag.

I was able to go natural with Emily and even managed no stitches ( ya, me)
With Emily I ate everything in sight.. this one everything but fruits and veggies make me gag.. well except chocolate.. don't seem to have a problem with that

I never lost a lb after Emily so I am hoping it will be different this time..

I had a easier time pushing out a 9lb baby at 37 than I did a 6lb baby at 21..

Im so excited, its gonna be a huge challenge lol. Did u gain as much as I did? When did u find out u had gd? My 1st one came back ok, but Ive never gained this much so they're concerned. Does it even mean anything,.. really? Other then bigger babies? I mean at this point where I can deliver any day now..

Well, I've gained almost 50 pounds and was diagnosed with GD at around 29-30 weeks. It's my 4th baby (others are 17, 16, and 13) and I'm older (41). I've gained much more weight with this pregnancy and have really had this nonchalant attitude, eaten what I wanted, not exercised....I figured it is the last one, and I'm entitled....lol! At first, I was really diligent with keeping up with my levels....but seriously, baby is measuring on par or just a few days ahead, so he isn't even really that big....if the growth scans are accurate. Are you still checking your sugar as frequently? I was told to check mine 5 times a day and was driving myself insane. I'm trying to make good choices, but I'm not following the plan to the letter or checking my sugar levels as frequently. I was told the baby weighed 6 and 1/2 pounds this week (35+3). I'll have one more scan next week, then the planned c-section on the 25th at 37+3. My last pregnancy was VERY complicated, and I had an emergency classical c-section at 29 weeks. So, they want to take him between 37 & 38 weeks to avoid any risk of uterine rupture.

I hope your delivery is smooth and easy

! I do worry that after the c-section I might not feel like the level of exercise I was accustomed to before, but I'll try! I'm also planning to BF at the moment. How about you? I was only able to BF the oldest, but it did really help with the weight loss. But, then again, I was 24 when he was born and gained less than 25 pounds.....so I am comparing apples and oranges!

Keep us posted on your progress......wishing you the best!

I havent heard back yet about my results from my gd test, they should be in tomorrow. At 36 weeks, my scan showed he weighed about 7lbs 10 oz. Me, being only 5'2" am terrified lol. My 1st was c-sec, after 56 hrs of labour he got stuck while pushing. But, I did BF him for about 20 months. The first few days were really tough getting him started, but we worked at it together and it was fine. The after pains, or contractions were painful, but I dont think strong enough to injure the scar on the uterus. I never heard of that before. Also, I was about 115 to 120 lbs when I got pg with him, and within a few weeks I was about 123'ish . Now?!? Weeelllll,... add 70 damn pounds to that! Stupid crazy, I never gained this much with my other babies. This is my 6th baby, and he's making sure I dont ever do this again lol.

Wow! Thanx for saying that! Funny cuz I was telling my dr I want to avoid the vacuum, and she said well, the older we get, the harder it is to push out a baby! I want to prove her wrong,.. and u just gave me some hope

I was also only into fruits, broccoli and spinach at the beginning of this pg. I lost weight at first being so sick, I cant remember how much anymore! But ud think I wouldnt gain much, cuz I eat pretty well! K, not anymore though. Since I got to the 60 lbs mark I decided to just eat whatever the heck I want since Im gaining anyways!! Maybe the chocolate will help me lose weight? Since the healthy choices are making me gain,,... u never know!

I was about the same size as you before I got pregnant with Emily ( 5'2" and about 125 lbs) by the time I gave birth I weighted 190 lbs

I thought I had ate really well when pregnant with her but still gained like I was on a ice cream only diet

I thought most would come off with delivery.. I had a 10 lb baby and probably 6-8 lbs of other stuff yet I walked away after delivery only 6 lbs lighter

I wasn't very dilligent with trying to lose the weight after so I did go down a bit ( to 150 lbs) by the time I got pregnant this time.
This time I am going to be on a quest to at least get back to 130- 135 lbs..

happymamma · Apr 19th, 2012, 13:22 PM

I'd love to be able to get back down to 130-135! I will do my best, I love working out, and I reaslly enjoy eatting healthy so Im hoping my metabolism cooperates with me!

Really really funny thing happened that I can't explain. Last visit at my dr, I think she said I gained 6 lbs in a week. I honestly cant remember exactly but it was more then I should have. But, I was eatting healthy, snacking on carrots and stuff. So I was quite upset with that and went back to chocolate and whatever I felt like eatting! So I went in yesterday and I had lost weight!! So needless to say, I willl continue to eat and enjoy my chjocolate, cookies, ice cream, and whatever I feel like

happymamma · Apr 19th, 2012, 13:24 PM

Oh I forgot to add, my fh also jumped from 37 to 40 in a week, so Im going for another scan Monday morning. My dr actually thinks I will have the baby within the next week. Im still hoping for MAY!

future_numan · Apr 20th, 2012, 19:57 PM

what is fh

happymamma · Apr 21st, 2012, 01:23 AM

fh=fundal height

I did something stupid, I looked up what it might mean if there is too much amniotic fluid. I should just nevermind google and listen to my dr!

Im kinda getting a kick outta going out in public lately. I get approached by so many ppl, today I was asked how many more hours till Im due lol. Everyone so far has guessed Im going to have my baby this weekend. What they dont know is I dropped months ago! This being my 6th baby, I dont have much muscle left to hold everything up, so my belly hangs low. Also being only 5'2" and measuring 40 weeks, I do look quite huge.

future_numan · Apr 21st, 2012, 16:47 PM

My MW said I was measuring 39 two weeks ago but 36 last Thursday.
Basicly he has dropped.
I am also 5'2" so I think I look as big round and I do high..lol.
My poor hips seems to be taking the blunt.
Do you notice a big differnce from this pregnancy compared to the others ?
This is my 5th and I do notice a big difference.. first off, I have never dropped before..so I assume ( hope) he decides to come a bit early ?!?!
