Lil' October Pumpkins 2013

[SisterRose]

Dream - I left you a lil message on your profile, bet i sounded like a right stalker being so quick in wishing you but huge congrats to you hun, wishing you best of luck.

Goddess - I had GD in my last pregnancy and think that I deffinitely have it in this pregnancy too, as they offered me the option of testing my sugars with the blood sugar monitor from early on in this pregnancy. I know for a fact that if I eat anything with over 10-15g of sugar, my sugars are above what they should be and not in the norm category, so when I sit the test at 28 weeks I'm 100% expecting it to confirm what I already know.

If you want any advice or have any questions feel free to ask. It really isn't as bad as you think it's going to be, if you don't mind not eating sugary food for the next 14 weeks!

Happy v-day Jbell x

SisterRose - I don't mind a stalker especially if it means I am getting extra prayers and well wishes that this pregnancy has a different outcome. I will start to calm down more we each blood test shows hcg doubling and when we get to the screening bloods

Happy v day jbell.

Sorry to hear about gd goddess. I've no experience of it but sis rose's comments sound positive. Hope it doesn't have much of an impact for you xxx

Congrats Dream!!! What amazing news, so happy for you and your husband. Best of luck as things unfold with this pregnancy, I know it won't be an easy first few months. Having had losses and pregnancies immediately after I know how much anxiety can be involved. You may want to see if there is some kind of support group or even someone you can speak with privately to help you through some of that. I found that it really helped me.

Goddess - Did they make you repeat the test twice? With my first pregnancy, I got a positive result for GD on my first test, but then I had to do a longer test where I was fasting beforehand and it came back negative.

Amazing news Dream!!!! That's great that they figured out some of your issues so you can correct them this time. Happy and healthy 9 months to you!

Sorry about the GD, Goddess.

Dream- congrats! That is fantastic news! Like maze said I know it might be a hard first couple months because you worry so much but stay positive an know we r all here for you!

Happy vday jbell!!!

Goddess- again I'm sorry about the gd

 

[goddess25]

SR - I might take you up on that offer. Will try modifying my diet starting from today.

Maze - I did the fasting test, drank 75mg sugar, did the 1 hour post and 2 hour post and tested postive on the fasting and the 1 hour however the 2 hour post was ok.

Have a horrible cold right now and killer sore throat, one of the trials of pregnancy is not being able to take anything.

Happy V day Jbell -hope your not a papaya for too long.

 

[SisterRose]

Goddess - After I came back positive for GD, I just ate really healthy, checked the sugar in everything I ate as it's surprising what has sugar hiding in it and was really strict about it until baby was here, then my blood sugars returned to normal anyway. With the right diet it's really easy to manage.

I think the test is more of an eye opener, cus Im sure a lot of people don't sit down and eat or drink 75mg of sugar on a regular basis, and if they do that's worrying anyway! so it's good it just picks it up. I know I eat "normal" most of the time anyway, so I get regular readings most of the time it's only when I eat take-away food or something like cake, chocolate or anything with a high amount of sugar I get a high reading.

Is the test different over there then? Because here we have to fast from 10pm the night before until after the test, we have our bloods drawn before the drink, then we drink the high sugar glucose liquid drink and wait one hour. After one hour we go in again to have bloods drawn after the drink and they base it all from that one hour.

And for vday for Jbell and I!!!

 

[jbell157]

Hurray for you Angel!
I didn't know we had the same due date!

 

[broodymrs]

Happy v day angel!

 

[goddess25]

SR, over here you fast for at least 10 hours, you have your blood drawn, you drink the 75mg sugar drink, 1 hour later you have your blood drawn, and 2 hours later you have your blood drawn so they can see how fast your body is taking care of the sugar with the 2 hour post.

Will just healthily for now until I get a clinic appointment.
