Been stalking just not too much time for posting!

Busy I am so sorry :hugs: it is not fair and I am praying for you and your family :hugs:
 
Thanks ladies, sorry to have brought the thread down. Spiffy we were just shy of 6 weeks, so not nearly as far along as we were with Avery.

Febbride you've beven missed catch us up on how you are.

For those of you having them how have your baby showers gone? And nursery rooms...how are they turning out?

For those of you staying team yellow have you played around with some of the gender guessing old wives tales?

Hope you all had a great Valentine's Day. The kids and I had brunch with my husbands family and then DH and I watched The Walking Dead (love that show).
 
Hey ladies. I just got back from my 27 week appointment. I did the glucose test, but won't have my results until tomorrow, probably. I asked my OB to check my cervix for me, and she said I'm a fingertip dilated on the inside. I was closed until 32 weeks last time around (and at that point I was a fingertip dilated) and then baby was born 3 weeks later. So I'm not sure what this means. I could stay like this for weeks, obviously, or it could mean this baby will come even earlier than the last. I'll have my OB check again in 2 weeks to see if there's been any progression, and that will give me a better idea of what's going on.
 
Spiffy it is very normal for mommas of more than one to have a slightly open cervix. Think of it like stretched out rubber band, things don't exactly bounce right back to normal. :haha: I hope you passed your glucose test.
 
Busy, that's the same thing I would tell any other mom, but they told me I was closed internally when I went into L&D two weeks ago, so it's the change that concerns me. But like I said, I'm not too worried at this point, since I know I could stay this way for a long time. I'll only really start to worry if I'm more dilated at my next appointment. :flower:

Oh, and I just looked online, and my glucose results are in. I passed by 69 points! :D However, my iron is low, like I suspected, so I guess I'll be taking iron supplements.
 
Spiffy- my hemoglobin is low too. Iron for both of us! Glad you passed your glucose screening!

Afm...had my 3 hour glucose tolerance test this morning. And passed! Not by much, but it counts! Huge weight off my shoulders.
 
So I have my glucose test this Friday.... I'm always seeing people ask online what they can and can't eat, and I'm always thinking "why didn't they just ask their doctor/midwife!?".... Well, I forgot to ask mine. :haha: my appointment isn't until the afternoon too. :/
 
Hi All - Sorry for being so bad about keeping up with the boards. Buying/selling a house while you're pregnant certainly is one way to make the time fly by. In less than three weeks we'll be living in a new house, and eight weeks after we move, we'll have a new family member. Oh yeah, and somewhere in the middle of that I'm planning/hoping to finish my PhD. :wacko:

In the preggo world, things are going very well. All the regular joys and complaints. Officially third trimester now :thumbup: and I've got my glucose screening test set for Friday. Only issue is that I think I've done something to my left knee. It's gone from feeling like I was kneeling on a toy when I kneel on it... to a tear-inducing amount of pain feeling like the muscle is ripping off the shin starting from the knee and radiating down. It pretty much ONLY happens when I kneel, so it's been easy to avoid.... but I still think it's something I should probably make an orthopedist appt to check on, especially since it's distinctly getting worse with time.


Anyway, hope all is well with everyone! Sorry to just write and run, but hopefully I'll get a better chance to catch up soon!
 
Ja, you don't need to eat anything specific before the test. In fact, I had a soda and some Valentine's candy before going to my appointment and passed with flying colors. :haha: They actually say if you avoid sugar before the test, the drink will make your numbers seeming higher than they should be, so just eat normal. :flower:

Krissy, I had a few weeks of horrible knee pain in my last pregnancy, and could never figure out why, other than the fact that your joints loosen during pregnancy. But I never saw anyone about it, since mine hurt closer to the end of pregnancy, and after he was born, it went away.
 
Sorry I've been MIA I passed my 1hr Gluclose and was tested for PreE but passed that too!! :)

We had a scan Monday and Chunky Cheeks is actually a week ahead at 29+1!!

Glad you ladies passed your tests! I have the glucose test next Tuesday. I noticed I feel funny when I eat a whole candy bar. Kinda sickly, I wonder if that is a telling sign of anything.
 
Krissy, wow you are busy! No wonder time is flying for you.

I am on double digits today!!
 
Congrats on passing the tests, ladies!! One less thing to worry about!

Spiffy - ugh my iron is low too. I'm trying to avoid iron supplements because they make my stomach hurt but it's also challenging to add extra iron to my diet.

Krissy - welcome back! You've been busy! Pregnancy can do such a number on our joints. It's probably best though to have a dr. take a look at it in case you need a knee brace or something to give you some extra support.

Sis - what a cutie! I love the name Chunky Cheeks hehe
 
Sugargully, I hope it isnt. The drink makes me feel kind of sick to my tummy, but I've always passed. I tend to have problems with low blood sugar...maybe you are the same?

Krissy, you have been busy :) Sorry you are having issues with your knee, probably a good idea to ask after it.

Ja I've always been told it's fasting, it wasn't until I was on bnb that I learned it isn't the same everywhere. Maybe call in to the lab and ask what their preference is.

Sis, so cute. I cannot get over those cheeks. <3
 
My appointment isn't until 1:40 pm, so I'll have to eat something! I've heard protein like eggs is generally allowed. May just eat that.
I also think I may have some issues with low blood sugar, I even thought that prior to pregnancy. Still nervous about failing though!
