Beautiful scans ladies!!! Makes me even more excited for ours tomorrow. Can't wait to share pictures :)
 
Love all the scans ladies!!!

I can't wait until mine on Wednesday! As for how I sleep, I've slept on my side since my last pregnancy using a body pillow. I was always a tummy sleeper before.

glbaby1 did you eat within an hour or so before your urinalysis? I was spilling sugar into my urine twice because I ate before both urinalysis. My doctor said that it's because your kidneys work overtime when your pregnant and can end up spilling sugar within an hour or so after eating. I had to take the glucose test at 8w and it came back that everything was perfect! They don't like your sugar to be over 130 and mine was at 81.

My OB told me that it didn't matter when I ate, and I believe the test was blood that they measured (AC1)I guess the normal range is suppose to be like 4.7 to 5.6, and I measured 5.7. In the lab right now doing the fasting test with the nasty orange drink. I honestly have no idea what I ate and when I ate that day I did the first test. But I hope your right.

Ohhhh body pillows are the best thing ever! I loved mine I can't wait to get it back out x
 
30 more minutes left before the final blood draw for my 2 hour glucose test. So glad I have my iPad with me for a little entertainment... I wish I could just nap, Lol. Funny thing is, even though its been 1 1/2 hours since I drank the nasty orange stuff, that flavor is still lingering in my mouth (Gross!). Totally makes me feel like I'm gonna hurl. Just wish I could have waited until 24-28 weeks to do this test like all the other Mom's testing today. It is cute seeing all the baby bumps look similar in size... Except mine of course since I am like 10 or so weeks earlier than everyone else here today. Wish me luck with these results!
 
Good luck glbaby1, I hope it's a great result.

What you said reminds me of when I went for my 12 week scan - I seemed to be the only early one and every one else in the waiting room was there for what I assume was a 20 or 32 week scan. Me being bumpless at the time made me feel shy and like I'd come to the wrong place! Little did I know then that I'd feel the same at my 20 week scan because my bump still hadn't appeared!

I have to get one done soon because DD was over 9 lbs at birth. Of course she was also 8 days late and only 4 oz over, but apparently it's enough for them to want an early GD test. Passed my 1 hour test with flying colors last pregnancy, so I think I just make big babies. They still want to stick me anyway. :(
 
Yeah I will be having an early GD test this time too, last time I was a little over with the 1 hour test (apparently that is REALLY common, and some places go straight to the 3 hour one cos that 1 hour one is so often inaccurate!) But I was fine with the 3 hour one. I do have a family history of diabetes though, I had a big baby last time, and I am overweight. So I personally am quite happy to have the test done early (and will probably do it again later as well) because there is actually a risk I may develop it, and I would like to know asap to be able to deal with it if it does happen!!!!! Or to have my mind put to rest early too. Lol. That, and getting to sit down and do nothing for several hours sounds like bliss right now, as I will make DH look after Monster while I go in! Haha.
 
Good luck to all you ladies taking the GD test early! I actually am probably one of the only ones who didn't mind the orange drink. The woman at the lab looked at me like I was nuts when I told her I was in for the GD test and when she asked me how pregnant I was, I said 8 weeks, and she gave me a dirty look. It ended up working out in my favor, though, because I was the nicest patient she had, so she at least thanked me for that.
 
Got my GD results back! No gestational diabetes..."so far." :happydance: Of course my OB had to throw in the "so far" since I get to drink that crap again around 24 weeks or so (oh joy). So relieved, but at the same time, I want to do everything possible to avoid getting it. Like I said before, not even close to an issue with my first three pregnancies, but I did not start out over weight with them either, so I really want to be careful. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
 
Glbaby, this is my first pregnancy, so I'm not basing this on any experience, just what I'm trying to do. I bought some fruit, some high fiber cereal, and some cottage cheese and yogurt, so when hunger strikes, I have options on hand, because I need to eat Pronto - don't no one get in my way! And esp late night snacks, I have an apple with pb or cottage cheese cause otherwise I'd eat this whole,bag of mint MnMs staring me down. I found that telling my brain/stomach there are good food choices available has helped me be hungry without feeling guilty.
 
Congrats everyone on beautiful scans and glbaby on not having GD. My scan is tomorrow. I had some spotting and cramping on Monday, so I feel a bit nervous about the scan.
 
I didn't realise GD was so common. I'm glad though on the negative results.

Off to see the consultant this afternoon about all the bleeding. I'm really nervous though at least we should see the baby again.
 
Hi all

Even though my little button is now an angel. I just really think it is interesting how common miscarriages are. Some statistics say 1in 5 pregnancy's end in miscarriage and some say 1in 4. You just need to look at the title bar above to notice that these statistics are pretty spot on.

I am sorry for anyone who's rainbow baby is now an angel but please be hopeful for the future. And for those with rainbow baby's I hope the next 6 months are healthy and drama free.

Just wanted to share my comments about the statistics.

Xx

I'm sorry for your loss :( my 2nd pregnancy I had a miscarriage and I was devistated but I fell pregnant with my daughter 3 months later. I will never forget my 2nd baby and now I see it as it just wasn't ment to be. But hugs to you and fingers crossed you get your rainbow baby soon.
