Lil' October Pumpkins 2013

Forums New posts
I gave my OH sleeping pills last night and I slept for 7 STRAIGHT hours! Oh my god. I felt better today than I have before I even got pregnant.

My glucose tomorrow on my birthday. Luckily my appointment is at 9 am, so it won't affect the rest of my day any. Last monthly appointment! Next step, every other week! When do we start going weekly again? I forget.

I rounded out, finally, but she's also sitting weird. Who knows what my bump will look like tomorrow.

Does anyone not feel as pregnant as they are? I think because I'm finally over my ms and i'm starting to show an actual bump, I feel like I'm only 20 weeks or so. I definitely don't feel 7 months pregnant.
 
That's great about the free pump. I've been meaning to contact my insurance to see what my coverage is re pumps. Thanks for the reminder!!
 
Wow, I didn't know that insurance companies even gave free/discounted pumps. I'm sure that mine doesn't, but it's great that you guys do. :)
 
I definitely feel as pregnant as I am! Today is a good day actually but most days something hurts, I feel ridiculously heavy and can't breathe or get about very easily. Had my 28 week bloods done yesterday, have a MASSIVE bruise. Booked whooping cough jab after much deliberation for next week. Bit scared really but have decided it's for the best, and having my 30 week scan on Sat!! Well I'll be 29 weeks, 2 days but still, can't wait to see Dylan one last time before I see him in person!
 
I actually feel great.. i mean i feel like i am pregnant but i dont feel huge yet.. i remember feeling the way you all feel with Mason around this time but i think either i am smaller this time or i just remember what is to come at the end!! LOL ..... I would say the last month has got to be the worse. hehehhehhehe, especially since i was almost 2 weeks overdue, i really hope i go on time with this one!
 
I booked my whooping cough for next Friday-it was hard for me to decide too! A few of my friends who have been pregnant in the past few years all got theirs and recommended it though. I had my glucose done on Friday, but no one has called with results yet. I hope they call soon as I get worried and assume the worst.

girlnboots-we go every other week for 4 appointments, then we will go evey week, starting at week 36, till baby gets here! I can't believe it is getting so close!
 
I also feel great this pregnancy. With Paiyton i was young and whiny. With Mason i felt so big and clumsy, but this time i feel great, and i've had people tell me i'm a lot bigger this time. I'm even managing great during this hot hot weather we are having.
I've been suffering with more heartburn this time round though, but keep that at bay by eating little and often :)
 
I def have to check with my insurance about the breast pump. I have seen people online saying they got it free or discounted with mine.

That is great that your bump rounded out girlnboots. I feel more pregnant than I am. Pathetic really. By the end of the day I certainly waddle and I feel like as soon as I walk out into the heat that all my energy is gone.
 
I don't look as big as most women are at my stage, but I certainly feel as pregnant as I am. I waddle too (mostly because of RLP).
I was supposed to have my glucose test done today, but the nurse told me to go to the wrong place to drink the drink and then apparently didn't realize it until after I had already downed it and then told me I would have to do it on a different day. Suffice to say I was not happy, I was really looking forward to getting that glucose test over with today and I'm not sure if I can down that nasty drink a second time. ):
 
Thanks Junebugs! So glad it's going to get worse! At least it will hopefully be cooler by then.

Hope your glucose tests are ok ladies, generally they seem to say no news is good news. They normally call you ASAP if it's bad but send you a letter if it's good. I was panicking because I'd been swabbed for strep B and not had any results even though they said they'd call but at my appointment on Mon she had the results and it was all fine.
 
I can't believe how quick its going. I've got my 26 week MW appt tomorrow. I'm hoping we'll have the nursery painted by the end of this week too.

I'm feeling great actually. I don't think I'm feeling as pregnant as I am. I definitely waddle and its easy to overdo it, especially at work. Then I do feel pregnant. Lol.
 
I don't feel brilliant but I equally don't feel that unwell either.

I struggle with work but don't have that much longer to go.

Had my diabetes clinic appt today have all the supplies and so far today all my sugars are normal.
 
My doc just called and I failed the 1 hour glucose test :( my levels were 151. So I have to take the 3 hour test of Friday...pretty bummed and scared. They also said I need to eat more iron. I feel like I am doing so much wrong.
 
Oh I'm sorry to hear that. Don't be so hard on yourself though, it's tough be pregnant and trying to follow allllllllll the advice. Just do the best you can.
 
Your not doing anything wrong. These things just happen in pregnancy. I bet almost 100% of women at our stage are anemic i know I am. The baby just sucks everything out of you its normal.
 
Thanks girls! Hubby is making steak and spinach for dinner-he is being sweet! I think he can tell I am down today. I really hope I pass the 3 hour, but either way, I will follow what every dietary needs they tell me!

I got that same phone call! Failed my 1 hour and need to take an iron supplement. Good news is, I passed the 3 hour! I hope you do too! Tons of ladies fail the 1 hr, but pass the 3 hr. ill cross my fingers for you :)
 
Good luck with your three hour test, TX!

I haven't been feeling that pregnant until the last few days. It's been a heat wave and we've had consistent 95+ days with super high humidity. It wouldn't be that bad if I worked in an office, but I'm in and out if my car all day.
 
I failed my 1 hour but passed my 2 and 3 hour but here in canada they still class you as having gestational diabetes with failing the 1 hour.
