Mixed feelings today. Had a 2nd scan which went well. Baby is measuring 9 weeks 3 days, right on schedule. Then I met our wonderful midwife to unfortunately find out that here in Ontario the rule is if I have to start insulin for gd ( which my endocrinologist thinks is just a matter if time) I cannot have a midwife and will be transferred to an ob/gyn. Feeling sad. That would mean there is no guarantee who would deliver my baby and no after care what so ever. Just 1 check up at 6 weeks post partum. Not what I was hoping for.

That's a bummer. Can you not have a midwife as well as the ob?

 

[CanadianLady]

Not here. You can only have one or the other. Apparently Canadians have a stupid view on midwives.

 

[OilyMamma]

Sorry to hear that. Thats rough. Ive never looked into midwives myself as my doctor is so great. We get him on day of delivery and we see him every other week after delivery. Plus...the nurse comes to the house the day after baby gets home for an after care checkup.
Im in canada too. I wonder why things are so different for you.

 

[ReadynWaiting]

Canadian lady im in Ontario and it's only if you are high risk (and the personal view of the mw) that they transfer care. Gd does not necessarily make you high risk. With dd I had an antibody show up so the mw consulted with the OB. I also had kidney stones but again care was never transferred. Why do they think gd is imminent?

 

[ReadynWaiting]

Also why can't you continue with your mw and consult with your endo? I totally understand your upset as I thought care may have been transferred with dd. if you do use an OB tell them your concerns and the care you were hoping for. Try to create a good bond with them and maybe care will be different?

Hi sorry I don't get on here often with two kids and full time teaching I don't have much time for anything. I had my scan today and it was just magical. I'm due 5th June now.

 

[babynewbie]

Hi ladies, I've not been around much because I've been super busy. But had my 12 week scan today, saw our lovely, healthy little wriggler and my due date has been changed to 7th June!

 

[ReadynWaiting]

Congrats ladies on the scans! I have another 3 weeks until mine. I've been listening to baby on the Doppler though and feeling good about things. I could do without the ms but hopefully that will be gone in the next 2 weeks.

 

[Symphony7]

Hey ladies, not much has changed here. The nausea is still going full force. No less tired, no less sick. Getting kind of tired of it and only 13 weeks. Sigh...can it be June yet?

 

[Catalyst]

Bahh dont day that Symphony!!! I am now 10 weeks and was thinkinh that not much left of second trimester so I shoulf het over the ms soon!!

Hope it eases down soon for us all!

 

[crazylilth1ng]

My sickness has tailed off thank goodness! I am still fatigued really bad though. Glad to read all the updates

 

[yoshy]

My nausea comes and goes. Some days it's barely there, than I'll have a day like today, where it didn't let up the whole day....

 

[sweetysangel8]

I'm still going back and forth with nausea but not as bad as it was. Still having a lot of food aversions but I've been able to eat a little better lately. Starting to get cravings once in a while.

 

[yoshy]

So how's everyone doing with food aversions and cravings?

I had a mild aversion to Avocado for a while, but it seems to have passed (which I'm happy about cuz I love avocado), and I can't get near turkey, but other than that, I seem to still be able to eat most things.

Cravings-wise, I'm constantly craving chocolate, and having trouble making myself eat enough fresh fruits and vegetables.

 

[sweetysangel8]

I'm really awful with food aversions. There's more food I can't eat vs what I can eat. Especially chicken and turkey. Anything with a strong smell or lots of spice is out. I'm hit and miss with anything with any sort of cheese and I normally love cheese. As for cravings so far this pregnancy I've had a craving for marinara sauce so I've had a decent amount of spaghetti. And last week all I wanted was hash browns from McDonald's. Otherwise than those I haven't really had any other strong cravings.

 

[ReadynWaiting]

I had to up my meds this past week as I started vomiting again. It's making me so much more tired and cranky though. I'm ready for 1st tri to be done. My aversions are dependent on the day and how sick I feel. I need to eat more veg but they aren't appealing to me. With dd that's all I really ate! So bizarre. I have no particular cravings but when I decide I want something I have to have it.
Is anyone showing? I look about 5 months pg! My uterus is already up and midway to my belly button. The mw commented on it last week lol.
