2015 October Owls! | The chicks are hatching! *16 boys & 8 girls so far!*

[Twag]

I'm a new October Owl! My baby girl is due October 28th.

welcome

congrats to all the new double digits (I can't wait to reach that milestone)

Hope any GTT tests go okay today ladies who are having them!

Only 2 more weeks until V day

Quick question baby has been very quiet the last few days some movement but not as much and I know it is still early and she has plenty of room and I have a high anterior placenta which could all be playing a part! BUT does anyone know if they have a growth spurt around this stage?

 

[Hit Girl]

Twag, I've had a few quieter days and then some very active ones. I wouldn't worry about that too much.

Like you I can't wait to get to the double digits. Still feels so far away doesn't it?

 

[Twag]

Thanks

It does feel far away yes but only 18 more days for you Hit Girl

 

[Hit Girl]

Only 6 days longer than that for you!

My baby went a bit quiet for a few days around then too - and now has decided to party. Makes me very hungry!

Woop! Passed the GTT was at high risk as hige family history of diabetes plus I'm overweight and immobile with spd so its a hige relief. Iron levels are crap though!

That's fantastic news hun x

Great news about passing the GTT

So after she has worried me for a few days I get the doppler out and hear her straight away and then all night she was giving me big movements - I think she has turned around from breech to head down so she is kicking my anterior high placenta which is why I am not feeling as much as I was little madam

 

[GingerPanda]

My anterior placenta is just smack dab in the middle of the front and covers everything. So I only really feel Luci's movements really low for the most part. Sometimes I can see my belly moving, but can't feel it.

I think I failed my GTT I'm so worried. The Dr's receptionist called to make sure I was still going to my MW appointment tomorrow & when I asked why, she said because the Dr had looked at my results and I need to be seen to discuss my options. Apparently I need treatment. I asked if that meant the test had come back positive & she said she couldn't tell me. The MW will go through it all tomorrow. I've since phoned them back to ask to speak to a Dr so I know what to expect. I don't need that worry! Hopefully someone calls me this afternoon to go through it with me. I feel like such a massive failure I am praying my little guy is ok in there. I would never forgive myself if anything happened to him.

A couple of weeks ago I also had a quiet period and got worried, I have anterior placenta too. Then she got more active

 

[nmpjcp2015]

I don't have anterior placenta, but I have periods of low movement too. I think they just have spurts. Now he won't be still and is getting REALLY strong. I think they are a little quieter during growth spurts, at least in my experience. Probably tired and sleeping more.

Also, doesn't anyone elses baby like to stay on ONE SIDE consistently. He won't move from the right side, so my belly is really lopsided.

Sounds quite like mine. I can feel her playing sports with my insides and see the belly moving but the placenta is right in the way for oh or the kids trying to feel kicks x

Hubs has been lucky enough to feel her down low.

Please don't blame yourself. Even if you've failed the GTT, there are plenty of things you can do to look after yourself and baby. You're getting mw support tomorrow which I'm sure will help. You didn't do anything to get this, these things happen. I hope your appointment goes well tomorrow x

 

[DoubleTFun]

Well I had my GD consult visit and all went well. I get to test my blood 4 times a day and today every one was within the good range. I guess we'll see how it keeps going.

Sorry to here some of you are struggling with GD, hopefully its all easy to control for you all!

Am having my first antenatal class tonight, I cant wait!

 

[Dark_Star]

Charmed- I failed my GTST but passed my longer test. Supposedly this is quite common, and I have even heard of women being asked to retake the 2 hour test. You may just need an appointment to get your new test instructions and paperwork. How long was your test?
