Starry - that is strange they made you have GTT twice? Unless they have reason to believe you may have it, due to your history etc then you usually only have it once between 26-28 weeks here. I'm doing mine April 9th.

Alli - I didn't think the drink was bad at all! Maybe because I love sugar haha.

I will have the whooping cough vaccine at 28 weeks. Man I have had a lot of those recently due to me being pregnant 3 years in a row :haha: I can't get the flu vaccine due to allergies.

We are still trying to decide on a name, but I gave DH a list of my 5 favourites (he didnt know my order of faves) and he chose Felix. So at this stage it is looking like that's the only name we agree on. Theo is my favourite, but he will only use it if we name him Theodore, which I don't like.
 
The last two WC vaccines I had I came out in a huge bruise, hoping to avoid it this time lol

Officially viable today :happydance:
 
Buffy it’s because my BMI is on the higher side. I was on such a roll losing weight and to be told that, I was super bummed but it is what it is I guess. So I’ll go get mine in two weeks time. They want it done and results back before my 28 week midwife appt.

Not looking forward to the WC jab though. Don’t think I’m going to get the flu vaccine though. Any thoughts pro or con for that?

Happy V Day Unique :happydance:
 
I’ve had the flu vaccine with all my pregnancies, only downside is the cold you have the next day lol
 
Like I said earlier, I have never had a flu shot due to allergies in the ingredients. DH gets it every year and never gets the cold afterwards?

Ah OK Starry. That makes sense. Sucks though you have to sit through it twice. Man, I am dreading GTT because I get sooooooo hungry :(
 
I had the flu vaccine earlier in pregnancy (in November) and wasn't at all sick. My arm was a bit tender for the next day or two but nothing terrible, just a bit of an ouch.
 
Still just over a week for v day for me. I can't wait
 
Happy v-day Unique and Alligator! Always an exciting milestone :)

Starry - I never had the flu jab in any of my pregnancies. I had it as a kid once and ended up getting the flu from it. Everyone reacts differently to the vaccine though so you never really know until you try it, I guess.

AFM my ODS came down with Hand, Foot and Mouth after my YDD had it a couple weeks ago. I'm pretty sure I caught a touch of it because I had an awful sore throat for a week. Thankfully I didn't get a fever. DS is doing better today. Still feverish but it's coming down.
 
What a terrible go you've had lilmiss! Hope the germs clear out of your house soon.
 
V-day for me is officially a week away now! Unofficially my midwife told me that baby hit 24 weeks a week ago due to his size :rofl:
 
Midwife went well Friday. Heartrate 140. My blood pressure fine.

Diabetes test and anti d injection booked for 30th April
 
Is it going slower for everyone else now? It feels like it’s dragging but then I’m like wow, almost 25 weeks already :o

I still have to get bottles, muslins, towels, bath, pram, car seat, maternity pads, breast pump, breast pads, cardigans, an extra blanket, nursing bras, stuff for my hospital bag and bath stuff :haha:

I don’t feel organised at all to be honest. I got the bouncer chair the other day though :)

I have the midwife in 3 weeks, 28 week appointment. Only 10 weeks until my next scan. Crazy.
 
Oh gosh I still need diapers, bottles, blankets, crib bedding (not to mention setting that all up), all breast feeding supplies, all hospital bag stuff...ahh there's so much I need. But I am having a shower in early June which reminds me I need to start that registry lol.
 
It just seems to be going slow one minute and super fast the next. I have enough clothes for the first few days I just plan to buy a bundle once we know the sex :haha:

I like to have new PJs after birth so I’ll need some of them. I have birth to DS and DD in the same nighty, thinking I should do it again with this one!
 
I do need to get something for myself to wear home from the hospital but I've never done this before...I have a fav pair of maternity pj pants (that aren't really public appropriate but I suppose just giving birth is a good of an excuse as any to wear pjs in public) that I can wear and maybe just a looser fitting shirt since I will still look pregnant. It will be July and hot out after all so I can wear flip flops! (I can't wait for flip flop weather lol)
