Congrats on the baby boy workingttc!!! That is fantastic! So glad the scan went well.

HOpe everything is ok with your sugar levels dreamer. I'm glad they are checking you out. I know a few people who developed GD. It's a pain to manage, but everything was fine with babies and moms, and moms went back to normal after birth. It's no fun watching what you eat though HOpe it was just a fluke. When will they test you?

Love the nursery LadyL! So cute!! We are moving within weeks after the baby is born, about 2 hours away, so we won't be able to set up a nursery before hand. I'm really bummed about that. Oh well, I guess she will be in our room for a few months and we can take that time to do it. They just have the cutest stuff for babies!

Glad everyone's scans are going well. I was at the doctor yesterday and got a little worried because she said the baby felt small. She measured me with a measuring tape and said I was small...when I do it myself it is only like 24 cm, and it should be 30. I am very tall though so she said maybe that is why. The ultrasound showed the baby weighed 1700 grams, which she said is 31 weeks (but she said it can be a few weeks off) But then she said that was about 2 pounds, which made me nervous because I knew baby should be over 3. BUt when I looked it up, 1700 g is 3.75 pounds. I was a bit worried but I posted a thread and people have reassured me that ultrasound is more accurate than using the tape measure. My placenta is also still low She still feels it will move up. She is not my main doctor (although she is an OB, we alternate between our main doctor and her starting at like 5 months) I'm hoping my doctor will tell me that it is far enough away to deliver vaginally. I feel they usually move up by now, but I guess I still have a little time. Other than that baby looked good. Scrunched up in a ball down in my pelvis, punching my bladder and urethra.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Hello! I hope everyone is well. Time is ticking along now. I had my gestational diabetes check and so pleased to say that I dont have it. From what Ive heard it can be a real pain if you get it. Everything else at the check went well, my BP is good and so is the babies heart beat. So far baby is head down, but that can change.
How is everyone? Not too many aches and pains I hope?
Oh, and Im officially on the count down to fininshing work...4 weeks and 3days woooo!!!

 

[LadyL]

Hey girls! How is everyone? I had to call into work this morning. Was up at 2am vomiting!! I have no idea what that was about. I've gone this entire pregnancy without getting sick, and WHAM, the day I turn 26 weeks, I've got my head in the toilet! But, I feel better now. No idea if it was something I ate or a stomach bug or what. But I feel so bad for having to call into work. I've been there over 5 years and this was my first time to call in!! But I'm sure once Jack is here, I'll be having to do that a lot more often. So I guess it't time I get used to it.

Happy early birthday Baby! Hope you have a great day!
And yay! Double digits for me!!

hi everyone , lady thats weird you wer sick, but im sure work didnt mind if thats the first time you have rang in sick in 5 years, i wish my record was as good as that!

hi ladies,

sorry to hear of the worry about your baby being small. i think belly size is an odd indicator as you say, if you are tall, or short you'd carry different. guess its the only indication other than a scan though. but glad all was ok on the scan, and showed she was a good size.

glad to hear you had a good time in blackpool baby, but sorry you've got a bad cold. so far i've been so lucky (touch wood) not to get sick.

claire, great news on the GD test 4 weeks 3 days eek that'll soon be here! i'm counting mine down too, 7 weeks 2 days hooray. i cant wait to finish now.

yey on double digits lady! sorry to hear you've been poorly today, hope you're feeling better now. i'm sure your work will be understanding, first day in five years is pretty impressive!!!

you're exactly one week ahead of me trix, have you gone over to the third tri group? i'll be there on thursday

Oh has been busy painting the nursery for our little girlie, and we've been setting everything up. almost there now! we've kept it quite neutral as we'd picked out the theme before we found out the gender, and i'm so happy with it! Daddy-to-be is very proud of his handywork, and he's told me every time he walks by he has to turn the light on to see the nursery. So cute xxx

Congrats Trixie!!! 28 weeks is a huge milestone! My dr told me I can breath a sigh of relief at 28 weeks, as babies tend to do pretty well if born then, and every week after it just gets better and better!!

So sorry you are sick LadyL. I Have not thrown up but have been waking up in the middle of the night with some nausea. Yours sounds more severe though. HOpefully it was something that disagreed with your stomach and wont be returning!

Happy bday baby!!! Hope you find some time to relax and celebrate! Hope you feel better soon and that your cold goes quickly!

Great news Claire on your GT test and BP! It's always so stressful finding those things out!

Congrats on being almost done with the nursery dreamer! How exciting! Now you can just relax!

Hope everyone is feeling well. Time is ticking! Yay!

Happy birthday Baby have a lovely day xx

 

[Claire1]

Happy Birthday Baby, enjoy!
Dreamer, that time will pass in no time. Pleased to hear the nursery is coming along nicely.
Hope your feeling better lady.
Stranje, do they do growth scans is the US? Im sure it all ok though, from what Ive heard nothing is very accurate at all.
Hope you are relaxing a bit more Trixie, congratulations! x

 

[baby2310]

Thanks ladies
Had to work today unfortunately but still a lovely day and now looking forward to my bed!

Sorry you're poorly LadyL, hope you feel better qucikly.
Stranje, try not to worry, i'm sure everything is absolutely fine, as for the low placenta my sister in law had the same thing and they checked her about 2 weeks before she was due and by that time it had moved up and baby ethan was born naturally, no problems x

What exactly do they do at a growth scan? THey did an ultrasound on me(after she used the measuring tape) that measured 3 areas of the baby and then told me what the baby weighed according to the measurements. Is that similar to a growth scan? That came out showing the baby 1 week ahead of schedule. I have a very deep pelvis and some other people have mentioned that it is common to measure small with a deep pelvis, so I feel a little better!

[trixie79]

28 weekkkkkksss!!! whoo hoo!!

id be lost without all you girls.....its funny , when i read down through the last page you all have very good memories and write individual messages.....i totally have baby brain....so dont mind me if i dont respond to a question, you will have to write it again!!!!

thinking of trying reflexology.....anyone tried it before???

 

[Tobaira]

Happy belated bday Baby! Yesterday was my niece's bday as well (she turned 10)

Great to hear your almost off work Claire.. my work unfortunately has been ramping up so the last couple days has been pretty tiring for me and there's really no end in sight (besides being put on bedrest or giving birth lol)

trixie yay 28 weeks! very exciting! and no I have a horrible memory, I spend a long time responding when I do and go back and forth through previous comments and still miss stuff!! =) I haven't tried reflexology though.. just massage, chiropractor and acupuncture ..

stranje-not sure what happens on a growth scan, but I think I get one on Monday

dreamer - yay for the nursery!

that's great that so many of you are into the double digits.. I'm just about there myself. We started newborn care classes this week, Tuesday and then we go again tonight. Pretty basic since I've been around my nieces but DH got to practice diapering and changing a babies clothes (I have to admit it's kind of funny watching someone doing these things for the first time lol).

This week has been pretty busy and it doesn't really slow down. Saturday is my nieces bday party and then we start childbirth prep classes on Sunday (four weeks long). Monday is a growth scan and dr apptmt which I'm taking my mom to, so that should be fun (plus it's my bday - yay for Scorpios baby!!). And then Thursday (a week from today) we go in for our 3D scan which I'm excited for as well. Friday we have friends over for game night and Saturday is the symphony. And sometime between now and next Friday we have to clean the basement because we emptied out our storage room into our game room to go through stuff. So its now all in the way and has to be gone through and cleaned up before then. Of course it turns out most of it is DH's stuff - he's got boxes and boxes of papers and crud that he needs to go through. The only saving grace at this point is that I have next Monday, Thursday and Friday off of work!! This is about when the year gets crazy when I'm not pregnant though, it all goes downhill after Halloween (bday, thanksgiving, christmas, new years). Speaking of Halloween does anyone need any chocolate candy? We had half as many kids show up at our house as usual this year and now I have tons of chocolate left over.. ugh... I don't need to be eating it all!!! But the ones with caramel in them keep calling to me... =)

wow.. ok so that was long. So in case you guys don't hear from me for a week you'll know why lol - I'm either super busy or asleep!! =)

 

[trixie79]

my god tobaira i dont know how you are doing it!!!

 

[baby2310]

don't worry trixie im exactly the same since being pregnant, its quite worrying actually as i've always had a really good memory, hope it comes back after LO arrives.
the great thing about the ladies on this forum is no one seems to mind or take it personally so don't worry! x

Yay Trixie!!! Huge milestone!!!!
I did reflexology the month I got pregnant! Not sure if it helped, but obviously it didn't hurt! I want to do it again, but am worried because I know certain points on the ankle can induce labor. I think I will try it when I am full term. If you do it let us know how it goes!

Happy upcoming bday tobaira!!! Please get some rest. You make me feel lazy!!!

 

[lilrojo]

Happy to read your all doing well..

Yay for 28 weeks Trixie..

Happy belated bday baby.. hope you had a nice day.

Tob-wow your very busy.. hope your bday is a great day.. i too feel lazy compared to you..lol

AFM-next appt is wed. november 9th.. 24 weeks... getting there slowly.. then the next is my glucose test at 28 weeks on dec 7th.. cant believe how fast time is going.. already november..

I think thats pretty much what they do Stranje. I wouldnt worry though, everyone is different and from what you've said it all sounds good
