Anyone else expecting a November sparkler? *Updated with due dates!*

I'm hoping that the ultrasounds are correct for us Angel, but I have seen them be very off. I had a friend who's baby was estimated at around 8 lbs, and he turned out to be 11lbs when he was born. And she didn't have GD! Mine were also off with my DD, so they are definitely only an estimate.

peanut- Didn't you say before that your diabetes wasn't very controlled either? I wonder why she's so small? Hopefully your scans are wrong and she's bigger than they say!

This was actually after multiple ultrasounds and even the doctors and hospital staff were shocked when he came out. Nobody expected it!

Wow I have never heard of such a drastic difference! But glad baby was healthy!

in the beginning it was a bit out of control yes. As I have not had any health insurance for over 10 years so it is hard to completely control with out help. and they said that being Diabetic for almost 20 years that the babies can get IUGR and be smaller as the placenta has smaller blood vessles than a none diabetic since all of mine are smaller due to the Diabetes so she will not grow as quickly
But my Diabetes is where it needs to be since week 12. So, who knows plus if I would have been born around my due date I would not have even made it to 6lbs. I was 20 days late. And Dh was barely over 6lbs. too

When I had my 28 week growth scan I asked the sonographer about estimating weight and he said that the scans can't be accurate because the programming comes up saying "x plus or minus 30%."

Afternoon ladies

I was planning on packing my hospital bag once I've moved in a couple of weeks (so almost 33 weeks pg) as my home is mostly packed up now ready to move. I have bought most things I need, so just a case of actually digging it out and packing it.

70 days left and it's finally starting to sink in that I am having a baby!

 

[southernbound]

Ahh Kseniya I haven't even thought about my hospital bag!

 

[peanutmomma]

happy new week to a few of you. Like Lora, Angel, and Bubsmom 32 weeks woo-hoo!!!
I have another BPP scan today. Wish it was next Friday's scan so we could get weight again. But, that is not far off. I have been up since 2:30am and it is 9am now. Baby Kicks or something, then Horrible long lasting BH and more baby kicks. BH like every 3 minutes and starting to hurt my back and upper inner thighs.
Luckily only a few weeks left til I meet her and I can relax some I hope LOL

 

[Dazed125]

I know what you mean Peanut, it's not like it will be relaxing with a new born but at least we will be able to SEE how they are doing!!!

 

[elt1013]

Had another growth scan today and baby is an ESTIMATED 3 1/2 pounds from 2 1/2 pounds 2 weeks ago. Seems like a lot of weight gain to me, but they said that he is doing great, and that they have never seen a baby practice their breathing as much as he was today! Another growth scan in 2 weeks, then scans and non stress tests every week from then on! I'm going to be one busy momma!

 

[Diddums]

Hello ladies, hope it's ok to join you im due 16th November with a little girl 10 weeks to go

 

[elt1013]

Welcome Diddums! We have the same due date, but I have a c section scheduled for November 11th and I'm having a boy!

 

[Diddums]

Thanks Elt, and congratulations on your little boy!

Have you ladies been thinking of names? How are your pregnancies treating you?

We're struggling to think of any names, we try to have a discussion but we can't seem to take it seriously and end up spouting random words lol. We only have 10wks left and I worry we won't have a name by the time baby is born! Other than that, I've found pregnancy fairly easy. I had mild/moderate morning sickness for the first 4 months or so, although even now strong stinky smells make me gag and throw up! The last couple weeks my pubic bone has started aching a bit by the end of the day, but I've realised it's because I do a lot of standing and walking at work, and also have to stop myself from sitting crossed legs. I'm classed as high risk due to high bmi and so was told I would develop gestational diabetes and high blood pressure. So far (touch wood) I have avoided GD (passes my GTT) and my blood pressure has been normal at all appointments and checkups. I have a growth and position scan booked for 33 and 37 weeks just to check baby is head down, and to make she sure isn't growing too big!

We have decided on the name Cooper Liam. It seemed like we had so many girl names picked out before we knew the gender, so he would obviously turn out to be a boy!

I had terrible 24/7 sickness, but I also had it with my DD, so I expected it, and I'm glad it's over!

I was diagnosed with GD at about 10 weeks and am considered high risk because of that. The only good thing about the GD is that I get to have scans every 2 weeks and start getting them every week from 32 weeks on. I happen to be a big girl also, and have a strong family history of diabetes, so I was at risk from the start. (Even though everyone else that I know that had GD seemed to be thin!)

I have been getting pretty sore lately (all over), but definitely worse after being at work all day! My blood pressure has actually gotten better since the pregnancy and seems to be getting even better as I go (fx it stays that way)!

So, is this your first baby? Do you plan on working up until you go into labor?

 

[camocutie2006]

We have decided on Elijah Todd.

pregnancy has been going pretty good. Besides bad hip pain and all.
