Thanks for the team update BB!

Blonde-I had a few quiet days last week, I spoke to my Dr and she said babies hve rest periods, like BB said I bet your little one is moving around at night. I know I dream of baby kicking and it is beacause I sleep with my hand on my tummy!

Ladies, has anyone felt movement slowing down? I've noticed over the last week or so he has really stopped moving as much. I was feeling really hard kicks and nudges, and now the movements are more fluttery. Maybe he is running out of room to move around, but I didn't think that happened until later in pregnancy? Just wondering if anyone else has been experiencing this.

Our little guy is more into a routine now as well. When he is awake I am getting pretty big kicks sometimes but most of it is wriggly now...I feel him move in my belly...it is a weird feeling sometimes. Overall it seems less movement but defo more coordinated. When I feel my tummy I can also kind of tell where he is...and sometimes feel and arm or a leg well or knee...something poky.

ive noticed this too over the last couple of days. its kinda worrying me xx
 
Yup, noticed our little one slowing down as well. She was never too active to begin with, so I'm lucky to feel her at all now. That said, when she does kick the kicks are starting to get stronger - she even managed to wake me up this morning when I was in one of those half asleep/gotta get up in 10 minutes states.

Had my glucose tolerance test today, all fine ... hooray!
Also booked our second (technically third as the first got repeated) 3D scan for December 4th, only 2 weeks away! =D

What happens in the GTT?
 
Thank you ladies! I'm such a worrier. Glad to see I'm not the only one having these concerns!

Erised, glad your GTT went well, and your next scan is the day before my bday!

Not all that much to worry about =)
I was asked not to eat or drink anything but water from 21:00 the previous day, my appointment was nice and early at 8:30. Got there and they just took 1 vial of blood then asked me to go sit down in the waiting room while they got a sugary drink for me. The drink was sort of like undiluted lemon cordial and didn't actually taste that bad in my opinion. I was just happy to have something other than water! The amount was about 2 plastic cups full and I was asked to drink it within 5 minutes, which wasn't a problem at all.

We had to wait 2 hours for the next vial of blood to be taken, we were allowed to leave as long as we wouldn't go do something energetic like supermarket shopping. Not wanting to bother our taxi we stayed in the waiting room for 2 hours. Just had some blood taken from the other arm and that was it. So really, all it is is 2 blood tests with a long wait and a sugary drink in between.
 
My doctor gave me a chart to track fetal movemoment. Apparently the baby should kick/move at least 4 times within an hour after every meal, or there might be something wrong. It is never a problem for me, as my little boy seems to never quit moving.
I had my glucose test earlier this week, and I am still waiting for the results. My sugary drink tasted like a flat orange soda.
 
YAY!!!! Dee thats fab! one of each hehe :happydance: What does Hubby think? Did the scan go ok? xx
 
scan went well thanks, took bloody ages though as he was in the wrong position and facing my back, he wouldnt move!

He's laying breech at the moment, his head is under my right rib which I knew all along as my bump is lopsided! They estimate his weight at 1lb 3oz at the moment which is a good size. Placenta is low and anterior though so they need to rescan me at 34weeks to make sure its moved out of the way.

Other than that no signs of anything dodgy, risk of early labour less than 1%. Cos of my pre-eclampsia history they want to rescan me at 26, 30, 34 and 38 weeks so I'll be getting another scan around xmas week, plus I have my consultant appt then too!

So thrilled to have one of each, feeling very blessed! :)

how are the pink/blue/yellow standings now then?!
xx
 
Hi all, just to let you know I probably wont be on here for a week or so, have a look at my journal if your nosey and want to know why :)

Hope you are all well and see you when I come back xx
 
hi all, seems to have been very quiet on here lately.

I hope everyone is well, how are we all feeling?

I have been having some issues with my back and pain in my pelvis/thigh area that I am going to talk to my Dr about next week.

I have my glucose tolerance test next Wednesday which I am not looking forward to as it will be a blood draw as well and I am a big chicken! My OH is in the states next week for work so I won't have anyone to hold my big chicken feathered hand! Must be brave!!

Hope you all have a nice weekeend!
 
Pregnancy is going perfect still, honestly never expected to have such a text book pregnancy! For some unknown reason, after having troubles TTC, I was expecting a hell of a time with morning sickness, growing pains, spots, pelvic pain and pregnancy diabetes. I can't believe how incredibly lucky I have been so far, and I'm loving every second of being pregnant! Even those where I complain because she's in an awkward position and hurting me ;)

I had my midwife appointment in Holland on Tuesday, was incredibly quick. I had a diabetes test there as well, very different than England. No fasting (or even announced I was going to have it!), just a quick needle stab in the finger and instant result - other wise known as a regular diabetes test that I've seen my grandmother do millions of times. Once again they complemented me on how easy it is to feel my uterus. So happy about this, as a larger lady I'm constantly being told how easy it is and what a text book example my uterus is ... I'm not different! =D

Plus she came out with this massive but happy shock of a message ... 'As you know we'll be doing growth scans'. No, no I didn't! I thought I'd had my last scan at 20 weeks, turns out I'm getting at least 1 more scan / probably more! Woo-Hoo!!

So now I've got my private scan next week Friday, and a scan through the midwives on Mon. 21st of December. Really happy and now have even more reasons to look forward to December =)

Emskins - Good luck with the GTT next Wednesday, I'm sure you'll manage to stay strong for your little one. Hope the lady doing the test will be understanding and make things as easy as they can get for you.

bigbloomerz, :hugs: - hope you'll be much better spirited when you get back

mummydee & RSbabe - Congrats on team Blue!!
