Hi ladies, I was wondering if you know when the standard test for glucose is usually taken? Mind if I join you too? I'm due Aug. 27 and soooooo excited.
Linz your around 9 weeks too did your doc order this as a standard test? Thanks in advance ladies!!

I was just reading and saw there's been some recent losses, I just wanted to say how sorry I an for you having to go through this, I've been there. I hope you can move on in good time. Never forget but let the sadness leave your heart.

2have4kids - Usually the test is done between 24 and 28 weeks. My DD was born over 9 lbs (9lbs 4 oz) so they think I may have had GD during my last pregnancy toward the end because I passed my test at 24 weeks along but still had a large baby. So they tested me early this time around and it looks like this time I may actually have it.

Also an update - they've scheduled me to come in for the 3 hour GTT now on Monday. They have you fast so they do it in the morning. I won't be able to eat until about 11:30 so that's going to royally suck.

Apparently they do your fasting draw first and get your result before you even drink the glucola. If your fasting level is 95 or above, then they cancel the test then and there and diagnose you with GD. Otherwise if you are below, they administer the drink and draw blood 3 more times. SO not looking forward to this.

Cassidy, can you add my first scan date will be 14th march?

 

[2have4kids]

Linz, when you have gd the babies tend to be large? I have some reading to do!!
Just enrolled in some free baby classes. There's a finance class as well as a birth to babies class that covers breast feeding, infant massage, what oh can do during labour (he thinks, like in the old days, he should be sitting in the waiting room) Bah!

Ladies help me out! I believe I found the heartbeat on te Doppler. Caught it three times and this is the best video I could get. Is this my gummy bear? I posted on the firt trimester board too to get advice

Also could you change my intuition to girl? Now that I'm getting further along I really feel like there's a girl in there. Still hoping for a boy but my instinct is kicking in lol

OMG!!! That is so cool! Now I really want to order a Doppler? What kind do you have?

This is the one I have. It's not the best, I got a lot of interference on it but it's not too bad.

[28329]

Wow, well done you. I get exhausted with 2 children!

 

[LoveCakes]

Well we are telling people this weekend as I'm 12 weeks tomorrow and I'll explain to work on Monday why I was off.

I'm still having some consistent brown spotting. It's not much but I've had some firm of bleeding for 2 weeks now. I wish it would just go away so I could calm down a bit. My next appointment is my midwife one at 16 weeks so it seems forever away now.

Is anyone on baby 2, 3, 4 etc and just feeling.... not pregnant? With my first two I was sooo excited and already shopped a bit.... this time I just don't really feel like its real or something. I don't know how to explain it really... but I feel a bit guilty because I'm just not "feeling it"

What your feeling if PERFECTLY normal! This is number 4 for me and when I was having #3, I didn't buy or prepare anything until like month 7. Plus I was going through a horrible divorce, which made it even more difficult to get excited. No need to feel guilty. Once your nesting instinct kicks in, which I am sure you remember, you will feel much better! My symptoms have also been very mild compared to the others, but I was immediately put at ease after my scan. Maybe it will kick in after your next scan? I wouldn't worry hun! Always remind yourself that every pregnancy is different! Inside and out!

Thank you! Our first scan was when we found out we had lost a twin so I don't think I had the normal excited feeling most get... hopefully at my 12 week scan there will be no extra sac left or any evidence of that and I can finally feel happy

I am starting to get excited. I know once I feel movement it will feel more real. The thought of buying newborn diapers gets me pretty excited.

I am feeling like time is going by fast, because we have to redo both bedrooms, as the girls will now share. Feel like we have a lot to do in little time!!
