I also failed and go for 3 hour tomorrow morning. I pray we both pass! I've been going crazy thinking about what if I don't. I ate well this weekend and I'm going to eat a good dinner in hopes it will help me pass but who knows if my efforts will even matter since I ate well the day of my 1 hour too

I think its a good sign if you get sick from the drink. With DS it made me feel ill and I passed this time around I felt fine and I failed at 138

I pray we both pass the test tomorrow last time I ate really good and failed so this time I am eating normal. I guess I will see how it goes

Good luck with your GTT today ladies fingers crossed

I have my 28 week midwife appointment today and then I think they go to every 2 weeks - eeek not long until 10 week countdown

 

[Mrs_Bump]

Mines on Thursday with the midwife then every 4 weeks, although they want extra checks on my blood pressure so I'll probably have a couple more. I haven't seen her on 13 weeks and to be honest I can't remember what she looks like, whoops.

 

[Twag]

I saw mine at 16 weeks, 25 weeks and now 28 weeks and then I am sure the next one in my book is 31 weeks

Strange how it differs eh?

 

[Mrs_Bump]

Scan success. Baby very average for me, bar very long legs. Just hope everything stays that way but so happy that everything looks good at the moment, plus she was head down for the first time.

That's fab news Mrs Bump

I had mw appointments at 16, 25 and then 28 (next week too) but I'm classified as high risk so the doctor thought I'd get the same appointments as a first time mum. Pretty sure my next one after next week is 32 weeks? I'd have to check my notes to be sure.

Hey ladies writing from th hospital was admitted last night due to severe stomach pain and back pain still not eased up which sucks tbh. Obs are ok had a really low bp at my last check which is soo not me but we will c. Having a scan on my gall bladder at half 5 so will hopefully c whats going on then! X

 

[lomelindi17]

Oh no catmummy! Hope you are ok and it's nothing serious! Sending you healing vibes!!

I've had appointments every 4 weeks since I first saw the midwives at 10 weeks. Then at 32 weeks it goes to every 2 weeks, then at 36 weeks I go every week until birth. Plus there are also 4 group classes we go to for different topics. Lots and lots of appointments lol!

Today's my 29th birthday and it's pouring rain haha! Oh well we needed the rain. Hubby got home last night after a week and a half away so I'm happy! Hope everyone has a great day

I hope everything is OK, cat mummy!! I had gallstones after my first baby -- worst. pain. ever. I can't imagine going through it DURING pregnancy!!

My appointments were every 4 weeks for the first 24 weeks, then every 3 weeks until 30 weeks, then every 2 weeks until 36 weeks, then weekly until delivery. The more and more frequent the appointments get, the more exciting it is!

My next appointment is in 2 weeks, at 30 weeks... 3D scan of the face and a second look at the heart, since we didn't get a clear view of it at 20 weeks.

Little miss is breach still her head was sticking out right up by my ribs 😍 on the left close to my heart ♥ love her

Smile why are you high risk? I also see midwife next week at 29 weeks (my ticker is off).

I had a terrible morning. Had my 3 hour glucose and during that time my truck battery died, had a friend come give me a jump than the AC wasn't working! Still had to go back in for my last blood draw. Than when I came back out the AC was all of a sudden working again, it was the strangest thing! I went and ate afterwards than felt SUPER nauseous, dry heaved a bit, laid down and now I'm finally feeling better. Talk about a stressful morning. I read online that being stressed raises your blood sugar too, great Just hope I passed than this will all be worth it!

FX mimzy

 

[aley28]

Awful morning, Mimzy!! I hope the stress didn't affect your levels any, FX'd you pass!!

 

[littlesteph]

mrs bump so glad to hear baby is growing well.

catmummyof3 hope they find out what is causing the pain and that you feel better soon.

lomelindi17 - Happy birthday, other then the rain hope it was a good day.


AFM I swear this little guy is transverse. He also seem to like being low. Braxton hicks are becoming more often and I've had a few painful ones. Had an ECG today as the doctor could hear something on my heart. The nurse said it looked all normal but have to wait for the doctor to look at it. Got my growth scan on the 24th, kinda worried what that will come back as, as at my 20 week scan baby's legs were 2 weeks behind and because Friday I ended up at hospital after being kicked in the stomach buy both my boys to find out my bump is measuring 2 weeks behind.

 

[Mimzy3]

littlesteph so sorry you ended up in the hospital. Hoping your little guy has caught up on growth by your next scan!

No call from my midwife yet...which I'm thinking may be a good sign. They called me right away when I failed the one hour. So anxious to find out but glad they haven't called yet in a way, makes me think its not urgent so maybe I passed! FX

 

[aley28]

littlesteph, how worrisome! I hope he catches up! Are you out of the hospital now?

Mimzy, no news is good news, I hope! I was told if I hadn't heard anything the next day that I was in the clear, but I waited until the Friday before I really relaxed about it. Keeping my fingers crossed for you

 

[Mrs_Bump]

Catmummy and littlesteph I really hope you're both ok.
Hope the 3 hr GTT works out for you ladies, seems like it is a lot of stress for you guys.

 

[Twag]

Hope you are okay now Littlesteph and on Friday all is okay with your little boy

Catmummy hope you are okay?

Mimzy - hoping the no news is good news

 

[littlesteph]

thank you ladies
I was in and out in a matter of an hour. there was much they could as I wasn't far enough along to go on the ctg monitor so they could only listen through a Doppler

 

[Mimzy3]

I passed my 3 hour!!!!

My numbers were 72 fasting, 147 1 hour, 133 2 hour , 97 3 hour. Abnormal values are fasting >95, >180 1 hour , >155 2 hour, >140 3 hour. So I would say I passed with flying colors! I'm so very much relieved that I get to stay with my midwives.
