BD'ing my butt off--whose in it for November??

[Womble12]

Huuuuge congrats jess on Finn!! Can't wait to hear how he's doing and see a pic! X

Jenna, your wee man is absolutely gorgeous! The birth sounded interesting, but as you say the most important thing is he's here and he's safe and he's all yours ))) x

Bailey, am so happy to hear you've had a 28 day cycle!

Nikki and Amanda, fingers crossed for you both. Hope u r both ok. We've had horrendous heat wave here in the uk and I've been struggling big time. 4 weeks to go for me.

Tara, good to hear from you too, your usual fabulous positive self!

Checking in again soon to see the news, nikki probably next...!!

Sophie Xxx

Thanks girls, had another appointment today...still at 1cm and I could have swore with all that moving and shaking I did that it would at least be 2 or something even better news is that this is the 2nd appointment in a row with my urine sugar at a +3 so I had to get bloodwork done to find out if I have diabetes right now. It could explain my sleeping I guess but who knows. It sucks. I started going into labor the day of my csection with my son, 7 days before my due date... If that were to happen again...it would mean this Saturday on my bday..keep your fingers crossed! I would hate to have my csection on a Wednesday and have to come home on the weekend to chaos at home lol

Nikki I hope bubs comes soon for you!!! Looking forwrd to more babies on the thread!!
Nicky hope you're enjoying Spain!! Bet it's lovely over there just now.
Tara it's been pretty warm here too (unusual for Scotland!) lol. Having a wee heat wave. I was struggling with it when preg but is easier now.
Sophie hope you're doing well!! We've missed u!
In fact I've missed all of u! Lol.
Jess can't wait to see pics of lovely Finn!! I couldn't see the link u put on the other thread!
Naomi hope you're doing grand too!
Think I've maybe missed some of the chat from the thread but Im a bit sleepy to catch up.. Newborns are hard work!! Haha.
The wee man (or big man should I say- he's a wee chunk!) is doing well- eating(drinking) loads! I gave up with the breast feeding- boobs were bleeding and sore and I felt he wasn't getting enough, but glad I have it a go.. It's not for everyone I guess. Xxx

Nikki- I hope that you start progressing quicker, and you don't have diabetes!

Jenna- it's great to hear that everything is going great!

AFM- it was somewhat cooler late this morning, so I let Mikey go outside to play on his playset. I have a doc appt tomorrow, and she may start to check me now since I will be 37 weeks on Thursday, but I'm not 100% sure. Here's my latest bump pic...

 

[MommyNikki]

Cute bump pic!!

My bloodwork from my h+a1c came back elevated...normal range is 4 something to 5.6 and I was a 6. I will go see a endocrinologist tomorrow morning and find out more.

 

[bazzb]

What does that mean Nikki?
Diabetes?

 

[MommyNikki]

I'm not sure yet, ill have to find out tomorrow. I'm sure it's because I'm overweight and barely able to move so my metabolism is prolly jacked up. I'm sure if it is gestational diabetes that it will be gone after I have the baby and take off the weight. Like I said, the normal range stopped at 5.4 or 5.6 and I'm a 6...I read online that under 7 is just high risk for diabetes, not that it is diabetes. I'm not stressed about it.

 

[bazzb]

Ohhhhh ok
I'm sure u r fine xoxox good luck tomorrow

 

[MommyNikki]

Thanks, any news back from the sa hubby had?

 

[bazzb]

Not a word
Going to call and book an app for us to go in after va action

 

[Pray2bBlessed]

Nikki- that happened to me when I did the glucose blood draw, my levels were barely over normal. But when I went for the 3 hr glucose test after fasting, my levels were way under the high risk level. I hope everything turns out ok! What do they do since you are so close? Is there something special you have to take when you give birth?

 

[MommyNikki]

Probably not, that's why I don't really know why I'm having this appt. At my last appt my ob said they may have to do something for the baby after he's born. I have no idea.. Just another hoop

 

[Pray2bBlessed]

Well I hope it turns out ok! Better safe than sorry I guess!

 

[MommyNikki]

Where are these ladies with babies???? I'm kinda disappointed that I haven't heard much from them

 

[mackjess]

Hi everyone. I've been reading but too wiped to check in. Finn and I are starting to get better at the breastfeeding routine, so hopefully I'll get more naps in and can reply to everyone. BF is so hard, but I've met with lactation specialists 4 times and finally getting it down. Baby is happy and back to gaining weight, now I just need to figure out how to make it not hurt anymore so I'm meeting them again Thursday. It's been the most blissful chaos I've ever felt.

Here is a pic of my love.

 

[bazzb]

He is do sweet Jessica
I am so happy for you xoxox

 

[Pray2bBlessed]

He is so handsome Jess! Congrats girl!!

 

[MommyNikki]

Awe he's super cute... Bf does suck if they don't latch right... You have to have your nipple almost tipped up before you give it to him or your gonna be icing those puppies everyday lol

 

[nicky160880]

Wow jess he's so beautiful.
Hope u get the feeding sorted out.

Afm 39 weeks today and still no sign.....I have another midwife appointment today so we will see if she checks me at all. They keep saying they are going to do pelvic checks or monitor my contractions but the still haven't done anything.... Oh well I think she's fine although I think she us just trying to kick her way out rather than the normal way!!

Let me tell you BREAST FEEDING IS HARDWORK...Keep up the good work and let me tell you the lactation specialist is ur new best friend well besides the handsome little man you now have...The more you breastfeed the tougher your nipples get and the pain DOES go away!!!! I needed help with both of my kids and I thought I was a pro after 1...So hang in there and ur doing great!!! How did your hubby handle the whole ordeal? xoxoxo can't wait for more pix!!!
