Hey ladies, Keeping busy?

Bit of a long one but here's my update ! :

I had my 28week midwife appointment yesterday, Saw a new lady called Joanne i was abit surprised at first because i wasn't expecting to see someone different but she was lovely and so kind

I got the results from my Glucose tolerance test from Friday which was really good, i had a Fasting blood sugar of 4.0mmol/l(72.07mg/dl) and after the 2 hours and horrible drink it was only 4.1mmol/l(73.8mg/dl) They aren't sure why i still have had +3 glucose in my pee samples this time and last but i did get told that some people just have that when pregnant so not to worry

My Blood pressure was its lowest yet which was still high but for me it was good at 80/140 Hehe.

I had my bloods taken AGAIN! That's 3 times in 6 days my poor arms are bruised up.. testing for anemia and checking blood type again i think, but my iron count is always at the highest end of the scale so no concerns there either

Belly measurements were good i was measuring 30cm 2 weeks ago (i'm abit podgy ) and 32cm yesterday so all is looking great !

Back in again on Monday for my Whooping cough vaccination! Think i might start booking myself a room there as i'm in so often at the moment the receptionist remembers my name

Owlbump signing out! x

Wish I was doing better, but I'm still really sick. I'll be 20 weeks tomorrow, and I've been sick since week 5 so I'm hoping the end is near, but not likely lol. I have a feeling I'm going to be sick the rest of my pregnancy. Otherwise I'm ok, starting to buy stuff for our little girl, so exciting!

 

[MomWife]

Owl I'm sorry that your arms have been getting poked and poked. At least you are receiving great health during your pregnancy. Keep us updated.
Den I hope you will stop getting sick soon. I will keep my fx for u.

As for me I will have my ultrasound on the 31st of this month. I seen my midwife for the last time on Monday and she said I was measuring 19 weeks. I will finally see my high risk ob on the 24th. My white blood count was at 16 which was high. My primary care Dr said that it was my asthma. It is trying to come down since I have been using my nebulizer every morning and I use different inhalers. My blood pressure is trying to come down which is good news.

[OwlBump]

I know! Scary but very exciting stuff, We started doing the nursery alittle yesterday. Cleaned the carpet and washed down the walls, we're not painting as we should be moving to a house before he's 1 so it seems like abit of a waste.

I really can't believe how fast its going, almost 11 weeks until he's due :O

I was given information about antenatal classes last week which both me and OH wanted to book in for, but the hospital its at couldn't be more awkward to get to for us ... It's only about 3 miles away but we don't drive and its a 3 bus journey, not sure i fancy riding the bus for 1.5 hours each way to attend a 2 hour class ? Bleh! Need to see what OH thinks.

 

[moltal213]

Sounds silly to travel two hours n then pay fir two hours u wud probably also b dead tired .. I shud probably go to classes .. But they not very cheap hope everyone well !!

 

[MomWife]

Hello ladies!! How are you all doing so far??

My Dr appt went ok yesterday. I was just a bit upset since my appt was at 9am and I did not get seen until 10:45!!?? I only spoke to the Dr for about 8 minutes. My blood pressure is ok, but my asthma is not controlled like I should since I always use my resue inhaler. She listened to my heart and told me that I have a heart murmur and wants me to get it checked out since she wants to know if it will cause any problems during labor. I have to do a 24 hr urine so I will start on that Sunday since I have to go back for my ultrasound on Monday!! I will also get my labs done too since I could not do it today since I would have been late to work. I have to schedule an appt with my asthma nurse which it will sometime next month. I just hope when the time comes for me to deliver everything will be ok with me and the baby. I just want to have a healthy baby boy or girl. The baby heartbeat is still strong which is good. The Dr. thought it was going to hard to find the baby heartbeat but she found it instantly!

 

[MomWife]

I hope all of you ladies are doing ok. I had my ultrasound today and I am having a boy!!!! Yay!! I am so excited! DH was doing silly dances after the doctors left. During the ultrasound I forgot to ask them to tell me how far along I am. (pregnancy brain) I asked afterwards and the dr said well they say you are 19 weeks now so I guess you are. Well I guess if the dr thought I was further along by doing the ultrasound I guess he would have said something. Well only time will tell I guess! So I will keep my ticker the same and due date. Hopefully I will not go all the way to August 24th sincew that will be like the whole summer!!! Nooooooooo!!! Don't deal with the heat too well.

I hope my asthma appt goes well this Thursday, I will let you ladies know how that goes. I will also post a pic of ultrasound tomorrow after I come home from work.

[MomWife]

Thank you! I'm sooooo happy. Now I can finally buy clothes, car seat, playpen and other things since we know what color to get.

Yes about the asthma I do have tightness underneath my ribs. Last night it started on the right side and today. Last week out was very bad. I should of known it was from the weather since it is warm now. Too many weather changes. I can't wait until I go to my asthma appt Thursday. Maybe she will switch my inhalers.

 

[DenyseGiguere]

congrats on the boy MomWife!

 

[moltal213]

I'm now wondering if I have slight asthma because I have exactly that n sometimes struggle to breathe I just thought it was because I was sick .. I hope the doctor can u give u somethin I might consider neubuliser let me know how it goes

 

[OwlBump]

Congratulations on the Boy MomWife

 

[MomWife]

Thank you ladies!!!! Well when I went to see my asthma nurse last Thursday it did not go so well. I failed both breathing tests, and I found out that my lungs are inflamed. She prescribed me Dulera which is an inhaler. I have not got it yet since I am waiting for my insurance since it have to be authorized. She told me not to worry since it has a higher doasge of steroid in it. She said it is just going in my lungs and it is better since I will be able to breathe better and the baby will have more oxygen. I have to see her again next month. I have another appointment tomorrow at 7:30 am so they can do an echo of my heart. They want to make sure that the heart murmur will not cause any problems during labor. I told my OB that I had 2 kids and there was not any problems, she said she just want to be on the safe side since I am older and they can hear the murmur well now.

How is everything going with you ladies so far?

 

[moltal213]

I have the cracklin still .. But they have never sed anythin about my heart as I go for nst lol .. So sorry I really hope he's just sittin wrong which is causin ur heart to sound the way it is ..

Owl n den why so busy ?

 

[MomWife]

I hope your asthma is getting better. Keep me updated. My appt went well today. My heart looks normal but an cardiologist is going to look at the scans and I will know when I go to my appt on the 23rd
