January Jellybeans 2013!...

I had my 1 hour Glucose test yesterday. I found out today that I failed... Anyone else ever need the 3 hour?

I did the 3 hour one monday, wrote my whole experience here.

 

[Leinzlove]

Now, DeeDee... I went back to read your experience. And now I'm sure to have nightmares. How horrific! Did you have to do it all over again because you threw up?

 

[snowangel187]

Try to take the test as early as u can Leinz as the drink mixing with hunger after awhile does cause me nausea. I also don't chug the drink. I drink it slowly but in the time allotted. I have to fight to keep it down for the first 10-15 mins then I'm good til hour two, but I think it has to do with getting my blood drawn every hour as I hate needles an have been known to pass out. I tried reading while waiting but it actually made me sick to my stomach.

My one hour was a week ago and I haven't heard anything yet. I'm assuming I passed as I haven't heard from my midwife yet. It would be a first for me... I failed with my other two pregnancies and had to go back for a 3 hour.

 

[snowangel187]

Ugh. I definitely feel like I overdid it today. I got quite a bit crossed off my list, but having some a few harsh contractions now. Laying on my side to try to get them to calm down.

Take it easy and rest. Stop doing so much!

Glad you got things done .. but shame on you! Rest up and take it easy. Relax relax relax and rest rest rest! You need to bake that little turkey a weeeeeee bit longer!

Anyone have back pain in the rib area? I've had it persistently for about a week and it's distressing...

 

[Leinzlove]

Snow: Be careful hun. You are on bed rest remember.

Darkstar: I'm sure you passed if you haven't heard by now. I took the one hour yesterday and they called today.

Like I told Ducky earlier, I think I drank mine too fast, so try drinking it slowly. I was fine for a while, but there was a lady with a very smelly cream beside me that kept on putting it all over her arms and hands. I really think they shouldn't allow people to do that at a place with a lot of pregnant ladies. And it smelt super sweet, so I think that didn't help at all. (That's when I started feeling worse)

A lot of people do it without any problems, so I wouldn't expect you to have any, no worries. Take it as it comes.

And they said they would take my last draw 2 hours after I drank it, since I had it in my system for 1 hour 45 minutes or so, so they thought it was enough time for it to sink in. They would go from there and call me if anything showed up. No call so far, so I'm praying it means good news, we shall see.

Yesssss!!!

 

[Leinzlove]

DeeDee: Phew! I'm happy to hear that you don't have to do the glucose again. I'm sure its all good news if you haven't heard by now.

That's what we are hoping! Like you, I had my 1 hour one thursday and they called the morning of friday. So being positive, and if not, I've had enough time to think it's all about the diet and nothing else. a lot of help from Snow in that part

 

[snowangel187]

Call them in the morning and ask them if you passed? no need to stress over it. Either u passed an they haven't called or maybe they don't have the results yet. Tho unlikely.

Spoke to the nurse today about the ultra sound the doctor ordered because he was worried about my lack of weight gain. He hadn't looked at it yet but the nurse gave me a couple updates that I'm a bit concerned about.

One baby is still breach. Nurse said to will him to turn His femur bone is measuring small compared to the rest of his body. And my fluid is high. Im most concerned about the fluid because my water broke at 36 weeks with my son due to way too much fluid. He has to spend some time in the NICU because of breathing issues.

So Im waiting to hear the final word from the doctor to see if he is worried or not. I might have to start having extra ultra sounds to make sure everything is going ok.

On a lighter note...Our Pumpkins for this year

 

[Leinzlove]

mommyof2peas: It's not uncommon for him to be breech yet. Some don't turn until 36 weeks. It's good they are monitoring you though.

I love your pumpkins... Lovely Mickey.

 

[Betheney]

Mommy of 2 peas look at the website spinning babies they have great exercises on how to turn babies.

 

[mommyof2peas]

Thanks girls I know he has loads of time to turn. I'm not worried yet And as much as I would hate to have a section, having something wrong with baby would be 100 times worse. I'm not letting myself get to worried yet. I havent spoken with the doctor yet, and there are a couple things that could have caused the measurements to be off. the tech, the way baby was sitting.

So right now Im just going to continue doing what I do
