Hi ladies,

Not much to report from here either. The weather was very cold last week and it snowed a lot. But now all is gone and it's sunny, though quite chilly!

We got to see our little lady this morning and she was moving her arms and legs. It's so conforting, since I haven't started feeling movement yet . 2 days ago I felt rhytmic thumps for 4-5 seconds and wondered if she had the hiccups..

Next week we'll have our anatomy scan and 3 weeks after that the glucose intolerance test. I'm a little confused, as my OB said this morning that I should have my breakfast and have the test 2 hours later?! So did you all fast the night before?

 

[Left wonderin]

Yes I had to fast from 12 midnight and test started at 8am . One lady arrived and forgot to fast so they told her to come back another day .

It depends what test it is ece.

The 1 hour test you don't have to fast overnight for (which it sounds like you may be doing if they say eat 2 hours prior).
The 2 or 3 hour test (depending where you live) you need to fast over night. You usually do this test after failing the 1 hour test or if you have 'risk factors' or previous GD history.


Might be worth double checking which test you are doing (have you been given a form?)

Glucose screening test (sometimes called glucose challenge test) is the one hour.
Glucose tolerance test (GTT) is 2/3 hour.

Hi again
I guess I'll be doing the 1 hour test...
So... My anatomy scan was pushed one week early so we got to see her 2 days in a row . She was very cooperative so the whole thing took around 15 minutes (wished she was a little bit more naughtier)!
The doc said she is well developed according to her gestational age (20 w + a couple of days) and everything seemed OK. He was murmuring to himself all the time, listing all the parts/systems followed by "normal".
He said with my 1st trimester screening being low risk and the anatomy scan likewise, he wouldn't suggest an amnio or such. But if we were the anxious types and wanted to be 100% sure, we could go for it, my age being the only problematic thing in the equation!
So my heart says no, in fear we may lose her; but I've read many posts about babies considered low risk, being diagnosed with Downs Syndrome at birth. We'd love her no matter what of course, that's not the issue; but facilities for disabled people are really poor in Turkey so they don't lead very fulfilling lives unfortunately...
So we'll discuss with DH and also some of my friends who had babies recently and then decide what to do.
But so far so good. And she's kicking like crazy for the last couple of days. Even DH saw them and felt them when he put his hand! It's such a strange feeling!

I think the chance of that happening is very slim, but I can completely understand where you are coming from ece. I hope you can come to a decision you're happy with.

[lune_miel]

Names are sooo hard! We need this whole time to decide!

 

[twinmummy06]

Don't worry Lune. We are slowly running out of time and have nothing for boys names!
And the one girl name I love, the OH doesn't appear too keen on.

Crap. Haha.

Ladies it's been a while since I have spoken to a lot of you but I am now nervously moving over to this forum. Where is everyone at in their pregnancy. I have had a quick read and some of you sound quite far along!

 

[Left wonderin]

Hi Lady Luck if I'm guessing right SANTA has brought you a BFP ?? Well I'm 33 weeks so 7 weeks to go eeeeeek I can hardly believe it !!!! All the others are not too far behind

Happy Christmas everyone xxxx

 

[ladyluck84]

Merry Christmas!! wow left wonderin I temember when u get your bfp where has that time gone how exciting! yes but I'm only 5 weeks

Oh Lady I'm so happy for you I know it's a scary time when ya get BFP after losses so I really feel for you right now . Its that strange mixture of excitement and dread ! Well it was for me anyhow . I don't think I drew a breath for 8 weeks !!! Well a wise friend of mine told me " all babes ever born were 5 weeks at some point ! " Taking it one day at a time was how I found it best to survive , not thinking about tommrow or next week and setting small goals . I also found it really helpful to repeat to myself when I found myself drifting off to a place of " what ifs " and panic about things going wrong "TODAY I AM PREGNANT AND ALL IS OK "

Delighted your joining us and I hope to share your journey to your rainbow with you xxxxx
