Thank you ladies all for your words of compassion! I am keeping my spirits up and trying not to be concerned. When do all you ladies typically do your glucose test? I didn’t do mine until 28 weeks with my DD and it was initially the 3 hour. I never even knew there was a one hour.

In other news we are 24 weeks today!!! Happy V-Day to me \\:D/
 
Well, no sooner than I posted my last post about remaining positive did I get a call from my doctor. Originally we were going to be scheduled to have a second follow up at our high risk facility but I guess after further consultation with the other doctors in the practice they decided to refer me to a pediatric cardiologist. I am now in a state of panic. She said they are not seeing babies outflow tracts in his heart. Please has anyone had anything similar or have any advice? I am catastrophising and really not okay.

And to make matters worse we are on vacation in Florida until next Tuesday.
 
I’m so sorry lovely.... what a stress specially with being on holiday. From what I’ve google a lot of ladies mention the position of the baby meaning they can get the measurements or that they are tricky to find??? By the sounds of it lots of ladies are referred and all turns out ok? I’ve not had any experience like this so I can offer much on that front. Do you have a date for your next scan. Sending you hugs xxx
 
I’m sorry you’re going through that, Shan. I hope it turns out to be nothing and just a scan issue. Technology is great, but far from perfect!

Wanted to post a pic of one outfit we plan to use for E’s first photos. A family of three little owls outfit :cloud9:

 
So sorry @Shanlee16 I will pray for you and baby. I hope you are having fun in FL I live in FL. :)

I have been diagnosed with Gestational diabetes and am waiting for a call back from a diabetes nurse to get this restrictive diet plan party started :)
 
Not sure yet @Mummy2Corban I do not have my diabetes appt until Tuesday March 5th. I have looked some plans up online and it seems reasonable so far.
 
Thanks ladies. I am just worried about the escalation in referral from the high risk center to the pediatric cardiologist. I just know deep in my heart they aren’t telling me something. I am waiting right now to hear from the specialists office, but hopefully it will be soon. I keep trying to keep my head up but I don’t feel like there will be a baby in my arms going home with me after I give birth. I am devestated.
 
@Shanlee16 - With my last pregnancy I was referred to a specialist for my son's heart as well. The specialist practically rolled his eyes into the back of his head when he found out we were referred for a couple skipped heart beats. Said, "Well he's growing a heart, what do they expect?". Hopefully it's just a bit of growing that needs to be done or some crappy scan pics. It's good they're so thorough!! Hang in there. :hugs:
 
Bloody anaemia still! Been doing everything to get it up, now on iron tablets, but also being tested for B12 deficiency:(
 
Mummy - Yes! I guess so! Congrats! I'll be joining you in 3 days :haha:

Shanlee - I have mine next Friday, March 8th, along with my follow up scan to check on my placenta. Here in the US (or at least, where I'm from) we do the 1 hour first, then if we don't pass that, we go on to do the 3 hour. I have never had to do the 3 hour personally. Fingers crossed that I don't have to this time either! Happy V-day!

Shanlee (again) - Oh gosh, hun, I'm so sorry you're going through this! I was panicking with the calcifications they supposedly found with my LO.... all I can say from that experience is try your best to stay calm until you have more information (easier said than done, I know) and STAY OFF OF DOCTOR GOOGLE! Try your best to enjoy your vacation, and take comfort in the fact that they are taking this seriously and taking any necessary precautions. And remember - they DO make mistakes all the time! The calcifications my LO supposedly had turned out to be reflections or ribs, but the high risk doctor couldn't find anything wrong! And between 3 different people scanning me, each one had a different opinion on the position of my placenta. This could very well be nothing. But take comfort that if it does turn out to be something, they are sending you to the proper person to take care of you and your LO. Sending huge hugs your way! :hugs: :hug:

Wifey - ADORABLE! :cloud9:

Awwww Hoping & Shanlee - you guys should plan a meet-up! <3 That's awesome! Of course, FL is a big state & you may still be hours from each other :haha: Nice thought though! Hoping, sorry again about the GD, but nice to see you're being positive about it :flower:

MrsJJ - Wow! Glad everything turned out fine with your son! Great example of how they really don't always know whats going on via scan though, right?? :hugs: Cute diaper bag! Glad they took care of you when you didn't like the original one you ordered <3

UGH Mark&Annie, that stinks. I had that with both of my previous pregnancies... waiting for them to tell me the same for this one to be honest. Then the iron pills bring on the constipation.... YUCK! Misery all around. Hope you're feeling better soon!

AFM, work has been stressful lately. Long story short, I've been giving a standardized test for the past 2 months (it just takes that long when I've got 96 students) and I'm stressing over getting it done shortly. DH is working on his master's program and has been working long & stressful hours at his job, so he's under a lot of pressure right now. And I'm just feeling "not ready" AT ALL for this baby. I want my son's big boy room set up, but DH needs to renovate, and who knows when he'll have the time for that. Until then, my son is in the nursery and all baby stuff is on hold. It really looks like we'll be setting up a dresser and the cosleeper in our bedroom for baby in the beginning.... I don't know how else this could pan out. Even after LO has arrived, DH has one more master's course to finish up over the summer, so he'll STILL be going crazy... Just frustrated. On a positive note, I have my glucose test, follow up scan to check on my placenta, and 28 week appointment on March 8th. Will be exciting to see baby again! I've never had a scan past 20 weeks with either of my other 2 children, so that will be nice! FX that placenta has moved!!! <3
 
@Mrs. JJ I like that bag! Specially as it ca be a shoulder bag or back pack! Awesome they sent it to you for free!

@Mark&Annie that sucks! I still feel like mine is low even though I’ve been taking spatone and trying to get extra iron in my diet.

@BellaRosa8302 fingers crossed for that placenta! Sounds like your both crazy busy. It’s frustrating when you want to get things ready but something is stopping you.

@Shanlee16 like the other ladies have said hopefully it’s just error but at least your being looked after. Xx
 
@Shanlee16 - so sorry you are going through this hun ! Fingers crossed all is well with baby . Try not to worry too much and be positive I’m sure baby will be fine. I agree with Bella they make mistakes hopefully they just wanna be extra careful with you because they can’t see or get the right measurements for you!

@Hoping4numbr3 - sorry your results didn’t come back as you wanted ! Hopefully you will be able to keep it under control with the diet !

@BellaRosa8302 - wow that’s a lot that you have going on !! I totally don’t feel ready for baby either . We haven’t even started on moving the girls into their new room it’s needs a total revamp ! That will take a few weeks so sort out! Going to speak to DH about it later !!

@Mark&Annie we are in the same situation ! I’ve been put on liquid iron and B12 injections ! Got to have 3 injections next week and another 3 week after then 1 a month for the foreseeable future !! Not cool I feel tired all the time !!

We have started buying bits for baby bought a set of baby bottles with a cute boat theme on . Also got a blanket and Moses basket sheets !

I just got this diaper bag and I'm in loooooove! It's half messenger and half backpack and it has a wipes pocket big enough for full size wipes. I'd previously ordered a backpack one but wasn't pleased with it so the company sent me this one free! <3
