[snowangel187]

I usually wear dh's tshirts and my panties and dd is like "mommy where are your pants?" or "mommy why aren't you wearing pants"

 

[La Mere]

Hi, girls!

Little J- Glad to hear you passed your GTT!

Jaime- So very glad you hear you have power back! We miss you around here! Hope you get your internet back soon.

31 weeks today! I'm a pineapple!!! Only 63 more days!!!! Seems like its going by so fast, lol.

 

[Nikkilewis14]

oh the scans are so wonderful aren't they!!! We had a similar one where the baby had it's eyes open which made the eye look different, it was so weird. I'm still psychotic about finding out the sex, as soon as i walk in the room i'm like "DON'T TELL ME THE GENDER!!"

Snowangel, i've spent about 2 weeks trying to remember why you're high risk and doctor will want you to go early and for the life of me i can't remember at all... you're going to have to refresh my memory.

Nikki - do you have alot of extra scans because of your GD, have you been measuring ahead. My mum had GD with 4 of her pregnancies and went naturally with all of them between 38 and 40 weeks. It also didn't impact her labours at all, or even after labour care. Does anything special have to happen during or after labour with you.

I unfortunately dont have gestational diabetes..i have type1 diabetes so its a whole diff ball game..ive been monitored extra carefully from day one for defects etc bc my sugars were way out of control, but thankfully she is perfect..my sugars r all under control now which is why he keeps bumping my induction to 39 weeks instead of 37 like originally anticipated! But he said absolutely wont go past 39 weeks bc of placental abruption which can cause infection if my waters break on their own... It all looks good ..shes in the 50th percentile..not overweight yet.. so happy about that!

 

[Nikkilewis14]

And yes i get scans every week, biophysical ones, and non stress tests every monday since week 26... Once i hit 32 weeks i will have nst's two times a week and ultrasounds once a week still! After labour they worry bout baby more than me for drops in blood sugar etc....still not sure if ill have a c section or not due to weight but since shes not measuring ahead a naturally induced labor looks like what it will be!

 

[Betheney]

i knew you had type 1 diabetes but i thought during pregnancy it turned into gestational diabetes.... don't ask me where i got this idea from.... lol.

 

[Nikkilewis14]

Lol...nooo...i wish hahahaha

 

[ARuppe716]

I would just like to add that I am a proud member of the naked bump in the house club as well!

 

[Nikkilewis14]

However there are advantages bc i dont have to control with diet, i count carbs and take insulin for how many carbs i eat...while the poor girls with gd have to limit what they eat to stay in control.

 

[Nikkilewis14]

Freakin too cold here for naked bump i love to be nakey though

 

[DittyByrd]

I am fairly convinced I will have transitional labor completely naked. It feels great stripping it all off and when I feel sick/hot/painful I never want layers of clothes on me.

This is like me and BP meds, because I got high BP so early on they had no choice but to medicate me and everything has stayed in control because of my meds. A lot of other mummas with high BP are on bed rest and strict no salt diets and a whole bunch of lifestyle changes to attempt to lower the BP naturally. I'll take the meds thanks.

 

[BlossomJ]

I need to get up, but I'm in a bad mood with DH as I just had a dream he gave me mouldy food on purpose & then tried to feed me to zombies! Obviously not his fault, so I'm trying to improve my humour before I get up & join him & DS for breakfast

Lovely picture of the baby Sonia That's about the size my DS was at birth, which seems crazy! This one is looking like being smaller at the moment, so it may not even make 5lbs at term! What size are you on track for Snow?

Gorgeous bumb jrowen!

Completely agreed!

 

[Betheney]

Nikki I remember how you got type 1 diabetes and how you didnt inherit it, but does that mean your children can't inherit it from you? Or can they?

 

[BabyHopeful2]

I'm loving the bump and moving baby - must be legs, arms, elbows, etc. all at once.

They didn't give me an estimate at my last u/s but I'm hoping they'll give me one at my next growth u/s.

 

[sassy_mom]

So DH usually gets home by about 7am ... which means I have to get up and shower so I don't bother him later in the day .... I am already feeling like a zombie. DD and I have to be so quiet and it is difficult. 4 year olds don't know the meaning of quiet. She is doing really good but we are getting kind of bored. I thought about going out for a little while but I am so tired, I can't even think about walking around in the shops. We went out yesterday and after about 20 minutes my body said NO WAY. I got light headed and dizzy and sick at my stomach and had to go sit down for a little bit. I didn't ever feel much better so I left one store and went to pick up groceries which didn't help at all either! I desperately needed a nap yesterday and ended up falling asleep sitting up while watching a movie with DD. How sad! I'm already at the point today where I need some sleep ... except I can't .... I'm trying to keep myself awake but I am struggling so bad and DH won't be able to get up for at least another 3 hours ...

 

[Kaiecee]

I feel like these last couple weeks will be long

 

[Soniamillie01]

I feel like these last few week are going to drag along.

I've not been feeling great today, completely shattered, my whole body aches, drained of all energy. Am in bed in my pjs and intend to stay here for the rest of the night.

Sassy - hope you manage to get some sleep when DH wakes up.

 

[jellybeans]

finally reached 30 weeks woohoo
