Hi Ladies :wave:

Well, I had the glucose tol test yesterday and get my results today. All the books say to make sure you drink it ice cold as it's easier ... well guess what? They heated mine up!!!! It felt seriously sick for the two hours I had to wait for the next blood test.

Shelley - google 'Pica'! I just read your licking post But seriously, it can be a sign of vitamin and mineral issues.

Wishing - I hate those pads! I've found that padded bras are a good alternative.


Question: I was reading posts about stretch marks, and someone was commenting that about the loose skin and it not going back into shape because they got stretch marks etc. I thought that stretch marks (red/purple lines etc.) were a different issue to the lose/wobbly skin that some mummies get? Or does getting stretch marks mean you get that loose skin, and if no stretch marks, no loose skin etc.? Anyone know?

I had a weird dream lastnight i was rubbing my belly and all of a sudden i could feel his features through my belly and i don't mean arms and legs i could feel his eyes and his little nose and mouth and chin etc it was really weird!

 

[geogem]

Sarah - I have both!! loose skin and stretchmarks!! (well skin not very loose at the mo)

but I know people with loose skin and no stretchies but everyone I know with stretchies has got loose skin, so dont really know!!

 

[maybethistime]

I cant find it shelly what was it about no scaring me now lol

Im so glad me exam is over cant stand them, due to me being in a rush I left me phone in the PC room and went down to me exam then I realised. I was gutted I was so convinsed it was gone that I didnt even want to bother ringing it. Well me mate told me 2 check in student services and they told me to check at the libray desk and Some lovely person handed it in bless!! couldnt believe it they have now restored my faith in human nature

 

[Sarah+]

Very lucky!

 

[shelleylu]

Hey ladies.

Maybe - the dream was a few pages ago. We met at your house and you showed me around - it was very posh and surreal! You kept your baby at the bottom of the bath, and when I came around, I put mine there too. It was way out there....lol

Sarah - I have loose skin and stretchies too. If you're lucky enough to noty get the strech marks, you should get some loose skin on your tum after things have settled down. A good way to determine what will happen is by looking at your tums tum, or asking her. Mine is exactly the same as my mums. Theres bugger all you can do about it either way... sorry!

Well ladies I think there might be a bit of a problem with my body.. I am thinking high blood pressure...
I keep having these 'moments' when my head spins and is very heavy. Its usually after a period of stress - like the other day at work when I was busy, or after a few words with OH..
I get headaches and just feel horrible. I couldnt sleep last night as I felt like my skin was itching all over (like under the skin?) it was horrible and scary. I have a blood pressure monitor at home and I took it this morning(I was too scared to last night) and it was verging on high (135/89) - for me this is high, i dont know about you girls. Whats worrying is everytime I go to the clinic, it gets higher - and they havent mentioned it! It has never been that high at the hospital before though..

I have an appointment tomorrow, and I will mention it then, but in the mean time I cant stop worrying - and this is makin it worse! lol..

Ah well, another great part of being PG. Seriously girls, Ive had enough now I WANT TO GET OFF THE RIDE!!! lol...

Please tell me Im not alone!!!! Are you all going mad too???!!

 

[SJK]

Hi Girls ,

gem, sorry about your sd, shes prob just playing on you and with your hormones at the mo, it doesnt help

twig about the house

Aided - no I didnt cry in the end, I just couldnt believe it and we norm dont buy anything until beany is born, so I got nothing

anyway talk soon xxx

Hi Ladies :wave:


Shelley - google 'Pica'! I just read your licking post But seriously, it can be a sign of vitamin and mineral issues.

I done that when the cravings started, as i thought i was going mad! I mean who wants to eat walls??? I did have pica with William, when I ate coal, but cement and grit are a bit different!

I actually broke my tooth/filling yesterday eating a bit of brick - I couldnt helo myself, but now I have that horrible metallic taste in my mouth all the time!!

 

[maybethistime]

LOL shelly its ok I won be leaving me baby in the bath lol its 2 cold in there lol

 

[Sarah+]

My Glucose Tol Test came back normal so I must have just eaten too much sugar before the other test. Relief!

 

[geogem]

Now then sweeties - having a better day today - not in as much apin with spd/Bh's!! Although I am tired as I only got about 2 and a half hours kip last night!!

Taking DS to the cinema tonight to watch night in the museum 2 and then out for tea! so a night off with no housework or cooking!! Lets just hope I dont fall asleep and snore through the film!!


Getting really excited about finishing work now, only 11 working days left!! I'll soon be in single figures!!

 

[Twiglet]

Yay Sarah

Enjoy the cinema Gem and glad your having a better day.

I'm gonna do some uni work urgh

 

[Twiglet]

And there's a february thread in 1st tri now! Scaryscaryscary times!!

 

[geogem]

OMG that is soooo wrong!! its getting closer!!! scary times !!

 

[godivalocks]

Sarah - I have both!! loose skin and stretchmarks!! (well skin not very loose at the mo)

but I know people with loose skin and no stretchies but everyone I know with stretchies has got loose skin, so dont really know!!

Hmmm, wonder if it has anything to do with the elasticity of the skin, since lack thereof is the predominant factor of stretchmarks, but would also seem that doesn't allow the skin to bounce back to a decent tautness. *shrug*

 

[geogem]

yeah probably, I was lucky, it only really started about an inch under my belly button downwards so was easy enough to tuck into my knickers!! hoping it doesnt get any worse after this one and I'll still have the tuck factor!!

 

[shelleylu]

Hey girls,

Good news about test Sarah

Hope you have a good time tonight Gem. I have a night off OH too and I am going to spend it with DS watching britains got talent and eating icecream!

Well I went to tthe hospital for my growth scan today. The sonographer said everything was normal, and baby measured in at 4lb1oz. I was quite pleased with that as DS was over 10.3, and there were concerns she was going to be as big.

So we went into se the consultant and she said the measurements were small. She went off to see a registrar and he told her they want me to come in for another scan in 2 weeks, plus weekly monitoring from now on. I have to have doppler and fluid tests eevry week to check the placenta is working properly. If you can take yourselves back to the begining of this whole experience and remember the horrid time I had with that cyst on my cord, and the internal bleeding and stuff, well they think it may be connected, and they seem a bit worried. Whats worse is that they brought my dates back nearly a week at my dating scan - and I know when I ov'd cause we were monitoring it all. So I knwo LO should be nearly 34 weeks, which makes her even smaller. They havent taken this into account...

I am amazed LO got this far, she is a little miracle after everything that happened, and now its all scary again. Sooner she is out the better as far as I can see. To make things more interesting, turns out the 'episodes' of weirdness Ive had this week are blood pressure related and Ive been asked if I can leave work early. No chance of that yet, but I'll have to reduce my hours now.

AND - as if it couldnt get any more fun, baby girl has turned! The most odd position. She moved last night, and has been uncomfortable ever since. Head down, with bum in the air! All the back is across the top of my bump - leaving next to no room for my vital organs/ stomach etc... Made eating a little more interesting I can tell you!!

Well I'll stop going on now. Just thought I'd fill you in. Hopefully we'll have some nice sunshine this weekend to take my mind off it all a bit.

Hope everyone is well xxxx

Maybe - get your baby out the bath woman!!!
