I may be being thick here but what is GTT and why do I know nothing about it?
Also, toothfairy I think I have psd, I am in so much pain that sometimes I can't even walk without putting some pressure on my pelvic area, Also I get shooting pains in my inner thigh, but only one and not the other? Anyone had any treatment for this? I'm going to get a docs appointment later in the week if the pain persists, sounds quite blunt but basically my lady bits hurt all day long!!!
Fifi the GTT is the glucose tolerance test to test for gestational diabetes. In the UK you fast from 10pm then go for bloods early the next morning and are given a glucose drink to drink. You then sit 2 hours and then they take more blood. It is done at about 28 wks I think so maybe you don't need one?
I feel the same with the SPD like the lady bits hurt all day, by the end of the day it all feels swollen too. My joint at the front keeps cracking! I had this 14 years ago with my last kid and treatment was physio and like a huge strong elastic girdle that strapped round my hips to hold it all tight. I have been referred to physio again this time by midwife although haven't heard anything yet and has been 2 weeks. She said they mostly just give you exercises these days. To be honest I get the feeling there isn't a lot to help and the baby will be here before I see physio!!!!!! The only thing that helps me is sleeping with a pillow between knees tucked right up to support swollen feeling lady bits. Sorry if TMI!!!
do you have one of those body pillows? I've heard they are supposed to be great. I'm starting to get uncomfortable at night and am thinking of getting one.
Now just waiting for the results to come back. 
amazing!
also my veins are very pronounced on my legs which ive never had nor noticed before plus they ache so that has to be watched im measuring 31 weeks baby is head down and low was all she said 
she told me she would contact my midwife who was not in today and get her to phone me as i may have to have another scan before my one thats due in a month 
she stated very sternly that i need to be resting or i will end up in hospital to be made to rest wouldnt mind but ive been doing exactly that any excuse to sit on my back side!! im on 4 weeks leave and my mat starts on the 10th of sep... anyone any ideas?? as both my other pregnancy's were so easy and i only felt uncomfortable in the last 4-5 weeks..
