Haha maybe i'm lucky then with mine not growing much as i've had the same maternity bras since 12 weeks! But must admit i think i've grown out of current band size as they are starting to dig in now my bump is right under my boobs! Time for an upgrade i think!

Yeah-to make a long story short I was tested for PCOS but everything came back as normal apart from I had raised insulin resistance, this shocked me as no family history plus my naivety told me that would never be an issue (ie im slim, can eat what I like, get shakey if hungry etc). Anyway that was when I worked abroad in Australia for a while and they put me on metformin last May 1g...had my blighted ovum mc whilst on it...then ive stayed on it ever since. HOWEVER my gtt results 2 weeks ago showed no sugar issues so they wanted to take me off the metformin..but I was so nervous about it as 1) hello im mid pregnancy!! And 2) how does he know the metformin didn't give mee the normal results? Anyway im still taking 500mg a day and am seeing my gp about it next week actually...when I eat what I like-which I do 99% of time my bs range between the normal ranges so MAYBE I am ok afterall, just hard to believe you are when another professional tells you you're not! But that was last year and I did HATE being in Australia so maybe stress caused my high IR result. Anyway bit of waffle there, sorry! X

Yes I would have a chat with your GP thats what i did and made the decision to stay on a reduced dose (from 1500mg to 500mg) for the first 12 weeks of my pregnancy as my obgyn wanted me to just stop taking as soon as I had a positive test but like I said I did this and suffered miscarriages both times previously, may have happened anyway but i wasn't going to take any chances. I think that as you are well past the first tri that you will be fine to come off it if thats what you and your gp decide is best but I have heard a lot of women with PCOS stay on the met throughout the whole pregnancy and some even whilst breastfeeding with no issues so think it just depends on you and your doctor. Will you have the gestational diabetes test at around 28 weeks?
 
If my boobs went wonky and one was an E and the other a GG would that make me an egg cup?
 
I had the gestational diabetes test a couple of weeks ago and I passed it, and that's why the obstetrician wanted me to stop the metformin from then..yes will see gp :-)
 
Thanks everyone I am back at work was cleard to go back yesterday. He said wed that cervix was closed and length was staying same so guess thats good he still said no house work and don't pick up anything heavy.

JFG--I want to feel hiccups I did not know when you can start feeling them. I have had a good bit of side kicks almost to my ribs and kicks around belly button and low kicks. He has been pretty active lately. I have the same hip pain to especially on my left hip when I sleep on my left side believe me I was a stomach sleeper also however when I got pregnant I found it easier to sleep on my back and still do but thats not good now. :shrug: I use a boppie breastfeeding pillow that my SIL gave me that I can get pretty comfortable with and can kinda sleep on my stomach b/c I get in a position that it elevates my stomach where there is not much pressure on it.

GIY--Love the pics they are tooo cute!!!:flower:

AFM--I did have a scare last night. I was dreaming and in the dream I was cramping and I woke up to pretty bad cramps I got scared b/c they came and went but I had no tightening like BH so I thought that was odd. I went to the bathroom and was scared to push but afterwards they felt better. I also drank some water and took tylonal and I felt better and went back to sleep well that is after I ate a bowl of cereal b/c I got really hungry. What really scared me was the pain was cramps and also in my lower back on my left side. I am not sure if the dream actually made me cramp of I just needed to use the bathroom or maybe I got so scared that that made me use the bath room IDK either way I am glad they stopped. However I have had light cramps on and off all morning and my stomach feels tired and sore. :shrug:
 
Hey ladies! Just checking in. Monro so glad all is well with you! You must be relieved. Glad you stitch went well.
Giy you pics are amazing!!
I'm so tempted to get a 4d scan now! Must've been amazing to see her moving around in 3d like that.
As for sleep.. Argh I have given up on good nights sleep. Have a V shaped pillow which solves the comfort issue as I use it to prop myself on my side, but I'm up constantly peeing, and I'm having such crazy dreams- all very realistic and sometimes upsetting :-( plus I've started talking/moaning in my sleep and is keeping my hubby up too.. I never used to do that!
Boobs wise.. I've gone from a D to an E cup so far- but the E cup now seems too tight and is giving me a "4 boob" situation when I wear it. Lol. So will need to get bra shopping!!
Pregnancy wise all seems well, bubs kicking away sometimes distracting me mid sentence the kicks are so hard. Can't wait to meet the wee man! I go on maternity leave at 32 weeks, so only got 6 left to work.. Woohoo!
Hope all you ladies are doing well! Xxx
 
Monro just reread your post about cramps. I often wake up crampy but it eased usually after ahem passing wind, or moving bowels. It's scarey when it happens though as I doesnt really feel like that's what the cause is at the time- never had those sensations before I was preggers. But for me it must be that as it does ease afterwards. I think most cramps are normal, but if you are worried then defo check with your doctor or midwife xxx
 
If your bra is giving you four boobs then you definitely need remeasuring :) I'm always getting cramps when I don't drink enough
 
I landed myself in hospital today :dohh: I was walking up the stairs barefoot and fell. As I fell my knees smashed into my stomach. Baby immediately threw a tantrum and I called my midwife who brought me in to hospital for monitoring. Luckily she is fine. I'm quite beaten up though and sore all over so feet up and resting for me. Bored already
 
Aw giy that's terrible! Glad little one is ok though and hope u feel better soon. What a shock you must've gotten xxx
 
Well had my midwife apt at the hospital yesterday and all is good, I'm measuring spot on which I was surprised at as everyone says how big I am but think its because I'm short its only got room to grow outwards :shrug: heard babies heartbeat and felt her position she is head down on right side! Then they said next apt is in 13 weeks (41st week) if I haven't had her eeek scary!

Monro so glad stitch went well and you can return to work, I haven't felt the hiccups since but baby has moved position now was cute just felt like a regular tap not as strong as a kick! Yeh sleep is a major issue for me too just can't get comfortable even with my various pillows :dohh: I'm investing in a pregnancy pillow but not sure it will make much difference..worth a go though!

GIY sorry to hear about your fall, it must have been awful :-( glad you and baby are ok though.
 
Glad you and baby are ok giy :hugs:
JFG Glad everything went good at the mw :D
 
Hi ladies, just checking in, hope everyone is doing well. My baby does not sems to have much of a routine, lately she doesnt seem to move as much, so a bit concerned but midwife measured me and checked heart beat, and she is fine and developing normally. I have been told she is very curled up, so that might be why and have an anterior placenta. I am the next one out of my friends to have a baby, so getting excitted but also want time to fly. How is everyone else doing.
 
giy, glad you are doing ok.

jfg, good news on your appt!

hi everyone. I'm laying here tryin to sleep but it's thundering and lightning, so our little pup was shivering at my feet where she sleeps at the foot of the bed. I invited her up next to me, and she got calmed down and snuggled in my belly and boobs and fell asleep. so all should be good, except the baby who doesn't usually stir until around 930am after I've been up and at work for awhile, decided this is turf war and starts kicking her. one time he kicked her in her back so hard it hurt my belly cause she is bony there, so I had to move her a little.
Finn-1 Presley-0 :haha:

this all started 2 hours before my alarm goes off. now it will be buzzing in an hour and I'm not sure I'll get back to sleep. normally I'd just get up early, but I'm afraid to do that since I'm more tired being pregnant, not sure I'd make it all day. sigh
 
Monro - Glad to hear all is well with the stitich.

GIY - No more scares, please! :hugs:

Mackjess - Oh it's rubbish when you can't sleep! :coffee: Hope your day goes ok.

Dolly - 6 weeks left until maternity! Well jel! I've got 8!
