Ophelia; I am convinced that's why I failed my GTT so terribly. I dont like chocolate and rarely eat cakes and things. I've been on a low carb diet for years so my body is not used to/doesnt process high loads of carbs and sugar very well. If I had eaten a candy bar a day for three days prior and gotten my body used to it, I may have been alright. So I say, by all means, follow doctors orders!!! Haha.

We live with DF's parents so baby girl isnt going to have a full nursery. She'll be sharing the room with us. We got the crib together over the weekend and DF and I sculpted her name using colored wire so we hung that on the wall over the crib. I also put my brown teddy bear from when I was little in the crib for her. I consider it her first family heirloom.

I've got my gtt on Monday too. Might have to try the chocolate thing.... Also getting a cold- am not happy! Managed all of winter without one and the first sign of spring is when I get a cold. I blame my husband- he had one at the weekend but got over it quickly so hope I do too.

Just back from the midwife and I have a breech LO! So that's why I keep getting kicked in the bits lol. Everything fine though and measured bang on dates x

I'm 27 weeks today, and officially considering myself 3rd trimester!

On that note, can someone please explain to me how anyone would ever get to 28 weeks as start of 3rd trimester?

Yesterday was 3 months to due date. 3 months = 1 trimester.
40 weeks / 3 is 13.3333, meaning that 2nd trimester would be over at the end of 26 weeks.

In what universe would 28 weeks work? I'm so confused!

 

[Boothh]

Iv never heard of anyone using 28 weeks as the start of third tri! It's always been 27 weeks as far as I've seen x

So at my last appointment my dr. recommended I go ahead and get a pediatrician lined up so in case the baby comes early or something it's all done and I don't have to worry about it. I just called one that's really close to my house to get it all set up and she wants me to come in next month, before the baby is even born for a "new mom visit". Are any of you guys at this point looking for pediatricians? Or for those of you who have kids already: did any of you guys have to do this when you were still pregnant. It seems kind of odd to me.

Yep , I've called three different pediatricians offices and they all asked me to come in so that I could meet the Drs/staff.. I asked moms around me and this seems to be common practice.. I am all for it anyway because I have a lot of things I want to make sure we are on the same page about before I decide to keep the pediatrician!!

I agree - it seems stupid! I also worked out that at 26 weeks, that's half a year (half of 52) therefore it has to be 6 months, and if 13 weeks is 1 trimester, and a pregnancy is made up of 3x13 weeks (+ 1 week), then 27 weeks should really be into the third.

Whereas pretty much everything I've looked at says 28 weeks for 3rd tri, including (online) 'Babycenter' and 'the bump'.

I've only contacted one pediatrician (shortly after I read your post actually hahaha). They said they have openings and to call when I get home from the hospital with him and they will set me up an appointment. Although to be fair, it was my pediatrician and my brother still goes there so they know me and I know them. I have to say it was the easiest thing this entire pregnancy!

 

[minni2906]

Sassymom, same here. I am using my old pediatrician as well, and my sister is using her for her little girl (born in December) so they already know me and don't need a "meet & greet" so to speak.

What To Expect When You're Expecting starts the third trimester (and 7th month) at 28 weeks. It's pretty weird.

 

[LalaR]

Just had a rubbish day. My bump has been uncomfortable all day and baby hasn't been very active so after several hours worrying I ended up at the hospital for 4h being checked. The midwife couldn't find a heartbeat so I had to go for a scan. I had to wait over 2h but eventually the doc found a strong heartbeat on scan and a breech baby deep low down. They are really worried about my bump being too it so I have to go back later in the week for a full scan and review. Now starting to doubt if I'll be allowed my vbac after all. Boo!

I am sorry to hear that , Hope everything turns out fine

 

[confuzion]

Oh no lala. That must have been so scary. I didn't realize you wanted to attempt a vbac. Hope your baby turns and you still get to do it

 

[x Zaly x]

Just caught up after ages and so shocked to see two June babies have been born already! Congrats to the ladies and so glad your little munchkins are doing well

I'm 26 weeks now and baby is doing well, things are starting to get uncomfortable though, especially whilst sleeping but I guess that's to be expected lol, hope the rest of you are well xx

 

[trinity_enigm]

Oh my lord lala- my heart was in my mouth when I read about them not finding the heartbeat!!! Glad they they found it in the end. Hope everything's ok and you get your vbac.

With the third trimester start I wonder if some people work it out on the idea that 42 weeks is as long as you can go? So that kind of makes it 14 weeks pers trimester but then I guess second tri would start at 14 weeks.... I don't know but I've been waiting until 28 weeks to officially say in third tri then I'm definitely in there lol. Haven't really been reading the second tri board for a whole now- not since I reached all the major milestones really.

 

[Frizzabelle]

I was also told third tri was 28 weeks but if it is 27 then I get there in 2 days! Woo! Lol
Had to post a pic of my first son against my 4d scan of son number two. They look so very similar!

 

[Mummafrog]

Lala - so sorry you had such a stressful, scary day I'm glad your bubba is okay. I didn't quite understand what you were saying about your bump? I think you missed a word, did you mean too big/small? Sending Really hope you get your VBAC.

Frizza - Oh my god they DO look similar don't they! And such cutie, handsome baby boys

You ladies have made me worry, all this talk about Peadiatritions.. is that just in America that you have to choose/organise one like that? Someone in the UK tell me I haven't missed something really important I need to do! I've not heard of it here..

 

[Jess812]

gosh im another with a 20lb gain! got quite scared reading the first lot of ladies on about they've lost so far on only gained 6lbs lol. I hope i dont gain too much more though!!

 

[Sizzles]

Mummafrog - here in the UK, you just take bubs along to your GP if there's an issue. I quite like the American idea though as you know you'll see someone specialised in children.
