[Twiglet]

Aww wishing you luck for the exam WL! I'm gonna offically start my dissertation tomorrow sadsad times.

Yeah they're so small but when you consider you'll be pushing it out...it's a completly different perspective! scary times!

Love the wall SJK

So, I've been reading that between 24-28 weeks we're due for that sugar drink test and the anemia test. My dr didn't mention these.... Who's having/had them?

 

[cs22]

Ive got that test tomorrow. Its called the glucose tolerance test, to test for gestational diabetes. I dont wanna go. I hate needles

I was due mine tommorrow too but i had to go into L&D on Friday and they decided to just do them there and then so it was kinda sprung on me, no time to worry and to top it off it was a student nurse who was bored that came to do it!! eek!

Mine is coming up shortly. Not looking forward to it, considering I don't usually have a fondness for sugary drinks, or needles.

 

[SJK]

No I havent heard of that test either, guess Im not getting it, I have my mw for bloods next tues , when does the appoints start every 2 weeks ? is it 30 or 32 weeks, oh its getting exciting now

wishing I gave my mum all the neutral clothes I had for the wee man about 2 weeks ago and shes going to wash them soon for me, cant wait to get lo's bag ready now that mine is nearly done

WL good luck with the exam

I went home from work yday and dh had first coated the nursery , bless him, its gorgeous, hes finishing it tomorrow, then we washed the pram, car set, buggy and all the bed clothes, so we can put all them up in the room for the next few weeks

Hi guys, haven't been on for a little while as been mega busy - hope everyone is ok and had a lovely Easter

Am starting to feel big now and there is no mistaking that I'm pregnant!! Loads of people say I'm massive and then loads of people say they can't believe I'm 24 weeks and that I'm tiny .... sooooooooooooo confusing!!!

Just this last week I have started to have problems getting up off the sofa (its quite a low squishy one), anyone else having problems like this??

Can't wait for hubby to get back from tour at the beginning of June so we can do the nursery and buy everything I'm sooooo jealous of everyone else getting sorted

Right, am going to read back over the last week or so and see what I've missed

TTFN xxx

 

[Babydance]

i was in a clothes shop at 24 weeks and by DH went to try on some clothes so i sat on this sofa to wait for him... oh dear... i wobbled about arms and legs flailing trying to get up then gave up and waited for DH to come haul me up! hehe xx

think its wot my mw is taking blood for next time i go (28wk) sure all do them....i hate bloods

got my 4d scan 2day ladies,we cant wait , pray2god all is ok with LO i get so nervous b4 scans x

 

[Twiglet]

Yeah Honey so do I, its not nice! Do enjoy the scan though, cant wait to see piccies afterwards

We need a new house before we get a nursery together, I think Liam wants to do it, so long as I have a say in the colours I dont mind.

My midwife's not mentioned the test to me but I'm going to her on Thursday so maybe she'll mention it then? Hope everyone is fine and dandy today

 

[elley_baby248]

Yep i have the couch problem getting up can be an absolute nightmare lol! Oh and if i sit in the booths in a restaurant my bump fits snuggly under the table so i have to slide all the way out before i can standup which is a bit awkward! lol!

So far i've bought all the nursery furniture and built it, bought all his little baby grows and outfits and washed them and put them all away all i need to do now is pack my hospital bag and buy the pram and car seat lol!

I have the GTT on the 6th May. Not everyone has to have it it's only given to certain people for certain reasons like mines because i was big before i got pregnant although tbh i really don't want it.

Hi guys,

I had a midwife appointment this morning and she says everything is fine, bubs HB 140bpm, measuring right for dates and she lying sideways!!! This could explain why I've been feeling so uncomfortable recently and look a fair bit bigger!! The MW didn't mentioned anything about a glucose test but she did say I'll have bloods taken at my next appointment in 4 weeks so maybe thats it? She said as well that I'll get the application form for the £190 at my next appointment yay! Free money!!

Honey - hope everything goes brilliantly for you at your scan today and your little man is lying well for photos

Babydance & elley_baby248 - have you also started to waddle yet? I'm finding my centre of balance really off and have to concentrate to walk "properly" sometimes I never thought it would affect me this early on (24 weeks) especially with the sofa - the other night I was trying to get up and found it easier to get onto the floor and then get up from there!! My hips had completely given up on me as well I feel like an old woman .... and we're only gonna get bigger

TTFN xx

 

[geogem]

Hi ladies,

I know what you mean about struggling to get up off the sofa - what a pain in the butt!! And I apparantly have started waddling now too!! Oh the joys!!

I had to go to the m/w this morning for her to check my BP as I kept feeling woozy everytime I laid down or relaxed!! My bp was fine but she says LO could be lying on a blood vessel and temporarily cutting off the blood supply hence the woozy feeling!!
The best thing was the m/w wasnt my usual one and she asked how many weeks I was and then looked at me and asked if it was only one? cheeky cow!! Am I really that big??!!
Hubby found it hilarious!!

Honey - good luck today hope you enjoy yourself!! I am planning on bf'ing but I tried with my last one and my boobs just didnt produce!! managed the latching on and everything but I just ran out after 2 days and it never came back!! hoping they perform better next time!!

I spoke to Shelley the other day - she had her Gender scan the Saturday!! she is planning on popping on this week to let you all know what team she is on so I will keep my mouth shut!!

But hey - all is good at the mo - worked out I only have 42 working days left, which really pleased me!!

Hope you are all good

ttfn

 

[elley_baby248]

Oh yes i do find i'm waddling like a duck at times lol! Really embarassing! Your not the only one whos hips have given up mine is destroyed gets that bad sometimes i can't even move my leg! But everyone just says "oh it's because your pregnant!" like i didn't already know that!

I've just got my OH a birthday suprise. He is 26 today but is a big kid so got him a handmade birthday cake with balloons on and balloons and also a toy glider thing lol!

This is something that was in the news, and I wanted some input on it. I really don't want to type it again, so I just linked it from the other section.

I just have a hard time with the hysterics people have over the fact that "my child might see someone have sex". Honestly, how many people have had their child walk in on them in the middle of having sex?
