Thanks ladies

Dark_star, my GTT was 2hrs.

My mw has referred me to a specialist diabetes mw & should hear from them within the next couple of days. I've no idea what to do in the mean time though! I daren't eat anything! By the sounds of it, they won't let me retake the test. I failed by .5 My mw apparently couldn't give me any info on what to expect, just that I might be able to control it with diet. Will I have to test my BSL after every meal or anything?

I've got another scan today to recheck Oliver's femur length. Fingers crossed that's normal! I need a win today!

How is everyone coping with the heat? Apparently I'm supposed to try to get more exercise with GD, but how can I in this heat?! I'm currently sitting in front of a fan & plan to for a large portion of the day!

Charmed, I'm so sorry to hear about your GTT results. That really sucks.

I love the heat, it's beautiful here. I'm not itchy or any of that stuff any more thank goodness. The only thing I would suggest exercise wise would be swimming hun xx

 

[bathbabe]

Its too hot... ugh...

 

[Hit Girl]

It really sounds like you Northern Hemisphere girlies are experiencing quite the heatwave!

 

[Twag]

Sorry to hear about your GTT results Charmed!

I agree it is TOO HOT my poor little boy is just a toddler bundle of sweatiness bless him

 

[Mississippi03]

Yes youll test after every meal.. You should be able to control it is ypu stay away from sweets, pop, and minimize carbs. My gf due in four weeks has it and theyve knocked her own to testing once a day now and have no concerns about the baby

 

[Lionheart03]

I agree with the heat. Of course this summer when I'm PG that's when nature decides to get extra humid with some rain. So muggy and gross outside :/

 

[Aliop]

Sorry to hear about your GTT results Charmed, hope you get some answers and sorted soon

Winter over here so we are all rugged up with the heater on

 

[Tink1o5]

Well tomorrow is my breast ultrasound appointment. I'm a nervous wreck. My anxiety is through the roof.

 

[craquinette]

Hope all goes well Tink!!

I had my GTT yesterday. It really wasn't nearly as bad as I thought! Now hoping I don't hear back from them until my next midwife appointment in 2 weeks, which would mean all is good on that front!

I'm so glad it's winter here! I don't think I would enjoy 40-degree days while pregnant! But then I'm not sure baby will be too happy in January, being just 3 months old and melting in the australian heat either!

It's so weird how seasons are different in different parts of the world.

My first two were June & July babies and my third is a December baby. I was totally freaking out about the heat with him but it was really a non issue as the house is ducted air con, cars are air con, shopping centres etc etc so everywhere was cool. It was only breastfeeding which was a bit sucky as we'd sweat on each other lol but I ended up putting a terry square between us and that solved the problem.

 

[Hit Girl]

craquinette, couldn't agree with you more. It's actually really nice being pregnant in winter isn't it? Today is particularly cold, at least where I am.

 

[Hit Girl]

Tink, all the best lovely. Will be thinking of you lots and lots.

 

[CrazyMumma]

Cold over here too - thank god for heatpumps!

I am so friggin tired its 6pm and I am already falling asleep ughh

 

[Tink1o5]

[Hit Girl]
