Hi, I am starting to look bigger, but not by much. Anyway, I am very upset right now. I just heard this morning that my great grandpa had a stroke, and the people at the place that he lives at didn't think he would woke up, but he did.

 

[blessedmomma]

sorry to hear yoshi i hope he is ok besides the stroke

i have an appt monday and will start going every two weeks from there. feels like its going really fast! have my glucose test in two week also. not looking forward to drinking that crap

I know what you mean, I have mine next week also. The good thing is that I went to visit my great grandpa he seemed like he was doing great.

 

[blessedmomma]

im glad he was doing ok hun. a stroke is such a scary thing. you just never know the outcome. i pray he recovers fully!

 

[YoshiPikachu]

Yeah and he's like 87 years old so who knows how much longer he will live.

Hey Ladies, WOW havnt we all grown

Yoshi- I hope your great grandpa is ok, sending you

So today i am 'Viable' and after everything i have been through these last few weeks im so happy i feel amazing! if Kacey was born today they would save her and she has about a 60% survival rate.

Also today is the legal cut off in the UK to have an abortion!! no wonder people say its murder!!

Hope your all ok xxx

 

[Mummy Bean]

Yoshi - hope he ok.

Collette- Congrats - i am viable on Monday- so relived to have reached this stage.

Blessed - Whats the glucose test for ?(sorry may have not seen on the posts) Does everyone need it? Hope it goes ok.

I got my last constultant app on Monday - really hope that they finally agree to do the genetic testing i have requested - as so far have spoken to 4 different people all who just say 'have to speak to a specialist' or 'come back in 4 weeks and i will try and speak to some one' - so frustrating.

Hope u all having a lovely weekend

It is such a relief being 'viable' i bought her a little blanket today to celebrate. need to slow down on buying everything now cos im moving into my new house on friday so excited!

The glucose test is to test for gestational diabetes, they make u drink this nasty drink and then test ur blood sugar after, im not sure if they do it every where but im sure they do and its between 24 and 28 weeks

[YoshiPikachu]

That's great that your at 24 weeks! I will be at 24 weeks tomorrow!

 

[blessedmomma]

mummy- exactly what collette said. here its just standard on every pregnancy, i have heard that in UK its only done if you have a family history of diabetes or are having sugar/protein in your urine. i hope you dont have to do it, its a pain. you have to drink the gunk within a certain time frame, like 3 minutes or something. its so sugary it makes me feel like im gonna throw it up. then you have to sit there for an hour feeling nauseous from it before they test your blood sugar levels. if you get sick you have to come back in for the test so i make sure to keep it down.

if you fail you have to fast and do a three hour test. i havent ever failed so hoping i wont this time. im hungry all day these days, so cant imagine fasting

 

[TheNewWife]

We only have a 2 hour test now, instead of the 3 hour. I had GD with Heidi and have it again this time, which we knew by 16 weeks. Mine is only a problem with fasting numbers so it isn't so bad, you just have to be vigilant and follow the diet they prescribe you.

 

[YoshiPikachu]

Today is my V-day!

 

[alette]

We're 24 weeks today!! So happy about it!

 

[Mummy Bean]

Wow we are all due within a few days of each other! (Didnt realise it was that close)

Yoshi - Congrats on V Day!

Is V day the same in UK and USA?

Erk that glucose thing sounds horrible - Hoping I dont have to do it, i have midwife tomorrow so will have to ask. Hope yours come back ok - and isnt to bad.

Collette - good luck with moving house, we starting packing this weekend and we have SO much stuff. Can honestly say our local charity shop going to have a field day as i dont even know where we got half of it from!

Cant wait to start buying stuff - but said we wud wait until we in the new house.

 

[blessedmomma]

im not sure if v day is the same here. i know they do everything they can no matter when the baby is born here. there are stories i have read of babies being born a week or two before that and surviving. they usually have all kinds of problems though, poor babies. but even at 24 weeks its the same issues that can happen even if baby survives. i never even heard of a "viability" day until i was on this site.

 

[collette86]

Happy Vday yoshi and alette

Blessedmomma- One of my friends had in incompetent cervix diagnosed at her 20 week scan, they stitched her immediately! Then at 23 weeks and 5 days ahe stated getting lots of pain! she went to the hospital TWICE in one day and they sent her home sating she had an infection! 8 hours later her waters broke and she went into full labour and gave birth to her little girl Izobel, The midwifes just told her that she was too early to try and save her! my friend just held her baby girl until she stopped breathing! Makes me so angry. Over here they will give you an abortion up to 24 weeks! so the government WILL pay for a mum to KILL a baby at 24 weeks if she decided that she dont want it! but they will NOT pay to try and save a baby if a mother gives birth early! even if the baby doesnt survive at least they tried and im sure parents will know there is a possibility of the baby having health issues! the government think its wrong if the baby has possible health issues but its not wrong to murder a baby???????????????? our system over here sucks i tell u!

Hope everyone is well, mummybean- when are u moving! we must be crazy moving so close to christmas and expecting a baby lol! xx

 

[blessedmomma]

wow collette! that story just makes me wanna cry! it is pretty sickening that they wont even try to do anything before 24 weeks. i know there are babies here born before that and im sure their parents are thankful to still have them no matter what ends up being wrong. im so sorry your friend had to go through that.
