Same my friend has had it twice now and she is also very fit & healthy!

 

[Mimzy3]

Thanks Mrs bump and Twag. Did both of your friends levels return to normal after baby or were they diabetic still? Also I've been looking at the GD diet and I feel like its going to make me gain weight. I mean I know I will gain weight I'm preg. but I mean more than if I was following my own diet plan. Its a lot of carbs and starchy foods?!

 

[Mrs_Bump]

She went back to normal once her son was born but got it again in this pregnancy. Most ppl do return to normal.

 

[Twag]

Back to normal after #1 and has it again with #2 who is due in a few weeks!

Okay ladies I need some help/advice. Long story short, my husband's aunt is dying of cancer. She has been fighting for awhile now. She has no kids or anything but was SUPER close to my husband and his sisters. Yesterday when we went to visit she started crying saying she really wanted to meet Selina (the name of our baby) NOW there is 3 grandBOYS in that family but this will be the first girl, so his whole family is excited for Selina to come...her name is Selina Maria but my husband wants to change her middle name to his aunts which is Selina Patricia...but I don't want too. I like maybe Selina Maria Patricia but we picked Maria because my middle name is that and so is my MIL...so how do I tell him no without killing him even more knowing his aunt is dying?

 

[Twag]

I think your name is a good compromise 👍

 

[missmayhem]

How about offering Patrick as an option for further boys???

 

[Mrs_Bump]

I'd go with both as middle names, seems a good compromise.

 

[littlesteph]

same as others have said have both.

 

[aley28]

Mimzy, I'm sorry!! I hope you pass the 3 hour test!

MrsBump, I'd compromise to the 2 middle names as well.

Thought this was a laugh.

 

[Twag]

Ha ha ha

Week 25 &26 make no sense tho as the complete box set of friends is huge (we have it) but a crochet hook I would say is smaller than a ruler?!

Mimzy, sorry the test didn't go well, my friend failed the first test but passed the 3 hour test fine so maybe you will too. I think this is part of the reason my Dr's office doesn't do the Glucola drink because it's unrealistic to a normal healthy diet. Especially if you never drink soda and eat really healthy then all the sudden you're supposed to drink this super sugary drink and process it perfectly when your body isn't used to it. If you fail the 3 hour test maybe you could ask for a redo with the alternative test (high carb breakfast with some protein and orange juice) if they would let you? You can also ask to do at-home glucose screening (finger pricking) to monitor it instead. Also make sure your test is early in the morning as we process glucose more efficiently in the morning rather than afternoon. Hope it works out okay. xx

So gd test is now tmrw and I did my fortnightly weigh in convinced I would of finally gained something as my bump is quite big but had lost another pound. I think I will have to mention it to the consultant at this point in case it is a sign of anything being wrong. I know I was overweight to start with but surely I shouldn't still be losing weight in the third trimester. I was told to gain 15-25lb in this pregnancy and at this point that clearly isn't going to happen. I'm eating plenty so why is this happening?

 

[aley28]

Is this how your body reacted to pregnancy last time, MrsBump? Some women just can't gain weight during pregnancy, while others can't stop gaining weight. I've known quite a few women who gain 75+ during pregnancy, despite their best efforts not to. If you're eating healthier or exercising more, it could have something to do with it, even this far in?

I hope you can get some reassurance though!

Good luck with the GTT... I hope it isn't so hard on you this time.

 

[littlesteph]

mrs bump just because your not gaining doesn't mean something is wrong. I know your high risk for a number of reasons, try not to worry about getting to the target weight gain.
my last pregnancies I failed to gain the minimum about of weight gain. for my bmi I was meant to gain at least 25lbs and only gained 15lbs in each. haven't weighed myself in a few weeks so not sure if i'm up on weight yet. last time I was still 3lbs down.
As long as you can still see your bump is growing and baby is still moving its normal pattern everything is fine. try not to worry about weight.

 

[DHBH0930]

Agreed with Aley, our bodies just all seem to react different. I was one that gained 75 lbs with DD, I didn't eat great, but not 75 lbs worth! Trying harder this time to keep it down, but even still well on my way to 75 lbs again.

 

[Mrs_Bump]

Thing is last time I gained 25 lb which meant I weighed the same after I had him as I did at the beginning so I don't think this is necessarily normal for me. I know it's probably fine but it also definitely needs to be run past the consultant as they are worried about placental failure and not gaining weight, and actually losing it, may not be great with that risk factor. I'm just being cautious because of last time. I'm certainly not dieting or restricting food in any way and my exercise level have if anything dropped off a bit because of back pain. Hence why it seems a bit unexplained.

 

[littlesteph]

defiantly talk to your consultant about it, it should be your mind at rest. hopefully you'll start gaining soon
