A couple of questions before I disappear into sorting out stuff again, has anyone else not been weighted since their 8 week appointment and is the glucose test a standard one as as far as I know I'm not having this.

Hi Lostunicorn, I havent been weighed either by my community midwife or by the consultant at the hospital either. I didnt in my last pregnancy the whole way through. I think it depends on your area. A friend of mine was weighed at every appointment so im thinking we should be weighed. I asked last pregnancy and they told me that they dont weigh people routinely they go by looking at your size and only weigh if you appear to have put alot of weight on (bullshit and lazy if you ask me, horrible community midwife team again. sorry for the language ) I have only weighed myself at home since my booking appointment and my weight has dropped by 11 lbs but has come back up now and I am still 2 lb lighter than pre-pregnancy.

As far as I am aware you have to meet a set criteria for the Glucose tolerance test (you do in our trust although it may differ across the country). If you have a BMI over 30, proven PCOS, family history of diabetes or previous gestational diabetes. I know there are more but these are the only ones I can remember. I have my GTT this Friday as I have PCOS and have had issues with low blood sugar before.

Sorry for the long reply, hope this helps x

I was also wondering why my doc hasn't weighed me. At my last appointment he said we'd check weight and make sure baby has grown, etc. I thought he was talking about my weight so I hopped on the scale and said this is the first time he's weighing me this pregnancy. Well he was actually talking about the baby's weight lol. He said it wasn't necessary to weigh in every time anymore. I forgot to ask why. I remember he weighed me when I was pregnant with my son, at every consultation.

Hi ladies,

I had my antenatal check up today and my fundus is measuring 3cm bigger!! I was 31cm and I am only 28 weeks. Getting a bit scared now that this baby is going to be huuuge! lol

I have now got some pictures of the baby's room all finished!

 

[mum2be2011]

naomicourt - your nursery looks gorgeous. There is only one thing missing now to make it complete and that is your baby.

Congratulations and well done on such a fantastic nursery.

Congrats to all the ladies that have moved to 3rd tri!!! There will be more of us there very soon.. Jojo and Jolene, we'll all be moving together!!

Naomi, your nursery is beautiful. I think I have nursery envy!!

I hope all you lovely ladies are feeling good. I'm good. Although feeling a little tired. Jelly bean is very active now. I like to sit and watch my bump move. Sometimes I see a little pointy bit stick out, like a foot or an elbow.

Is anyone noticing a pattern of movements yet?

Fab nursery naomi, I'm just keeping an eye on ebay waiting to see if I win some curtains for bean's room. Just some neutral ones as I thought 45 quid for a pair from mothercare was far too expensive!! Just need a few more bits and bobs now and bean's room will be done. Got a massive bag of clothes for a tenner from a friend's sister in law yesterday too. All new born and 0-3 stuff so got some sorting to do but am gonna save it till half term. Only 8 weeks of work left (9 with half term) cos I finish on 3rd dec too!! Counting it down day by day and this week only got till thurs with critters as its inset on friday!!! Yay!

Really felt big and uncomfortable for the first time at work today and was totally drained when I got home. Some workmates mentioned they thought I'd had a growth spurt this wknd too! Managed to make me and OH some tea and have just loafed around on the sofa otherwise!

In third tri now too. Have left my camera at school over the wknd and meant to get it today but it means I didn't manage to get a 26 wk pic grrr. Will try and remember it for tomorrow night, I would like you lot to give me an opinion on bean and bumps growth over the past wk or so lol!

Hugs xxxx

I wondered where the jellybeans went! Great to find you all again after a trouble free 2nd tri. Today is my move into 3rd tri . The reality is sinking in now!

 

[Jolene]

Faff&Fidget and Jojo...... only 99 days left until EDD We have made it to double digits!!!!!! When I would tell my dh how many days left the ticker said, he would always say it's too many and I must tell him when it's under 100 so I woke him at 1:00 this morning to tell him, lol.

 

[Jolene]

Naomi, I love your nursery. Looks like such a peaceful place for baby, awww.

 

[jojo-m]

Gorgeous nursery Naomi!

Jolene & Faff woo hoo to our 99 days, as if you woke up dh to tell him that early lol, hope he showed sufficient excitement!

Gpoing to try get a new bump pic up, so exciting seeing all the growing bumps! x

 

[jms895]

2 days till 3rd tri for me! Scary how quick its going!

This is where we start to huff and puff and waddle

 

[beccybobeccy]

Hi folks... hope eveyone is doing well!
Love the nursery Naomi.

I'm desperate to be in 3rd Tri now... I feel like I'm in a transition period right now. It doesn't feel totally right to be in the 2nd Tri forum anymore and I find myself lurking in 3rd Tri... I was exactly the same at about 12 weeks in moving over the 2nd Tri!

So impatient!

I'm on countdown to a 2 week break from work in November (Nursery Time!!) and then it will only be 4 weeks until Christmas and Mat Leave!! Hurray!!!

Asda Baby Event starts today... gonna see if I can get me some bargains!!
25 week appt tomorrow too... It's been so long since the 16 week one!

 

[beccybobeccy]

oooh "falcon" has gone up to an eggplant

 

[Central Perk]

Gorgeous Nursery! I love the cot.

Third trimester for me tomorrow...whoo hoo!!

This is my final bump picture before I start third tri!

Thank you everyone for their lovely comments on my nursery.

I just had to share with everyone that my Daughter had her first hair cut today!! She was so good and they gave us a couple of her curls which got cut off. I really didn't want to do it in a way but her hair was growing uneven so it did need a trim.

 

[pinkie77]

Aww well done to your daughter Naomi (and you too, I have big girls so I do understand)

Her hair will grow much thicker and more even now, I remember having to do that with DD2 what seems like a very long time ago now!

Actually I'm being a wimp over my oldest's hair, keep putting off booking her an appointment cos I don't want her to have her hair cut off She's 13 and it's down to her waist, so thick and in lovely condition but she wants a bob I've never had a problem with my kids dressing etc how they want (within reason of course) but I'm really having trouble with this

I love your nursery too btw

Congrats to everyone reaching milestones this week - I'm 27 weeks tomorrow eeeek! It's going tooooooo fast

Lovely nursery Naomi and cute pics of daugther.

Congrats to all the ladies that are down to double digits and on to 3rd tri!

I just had my glucose test done. That orange drink is absolutely terrible. I wonder if anyone has ever barfed it all up - I think I was pretty close!

Oh my goodness.... i'm terrified of my GTT! I'm going to ask my doctor if I can just eat a whole bag of starburst candy or something... I still get so nauseous, even when drinking water! So if I barf it all up.... I'm hoping I wont be the first.. lol
