I've been sleeping really badly lately too, I've had a sore throat for a few days which doesn't help, and my hips have been aching so much that it's difficult to get a comfortable position. So exhausted :/
 
Wow that's a lot of pillows! i think my DH would have a fit if I tried to get any more pillows in our bed :haha: I slept really badly last night, I was ok to begin with and then once I'd turned over the first time I was back and forth all night long!

On a side note, 28 weeks today :happydance:
 
Lol that is a lot of pillow!! I just have a body pillow.. Then an extra one between my legs and one behind my back..

I'm at my gestational diabetes test .. The orange drink didn't taste as bad as I thought but it left a nasty feeling in the back of my throat

Shes off to nannys for the night tomorow so mummy can have a slightly better nights sleep. feel awful shipping her to nannys but im seriously turning into a zombie. she loves it a nannies though and annoyingly i bet she'll be an angel n sleep all night!
i got my GTT on friday and my 28 week bloods and antenatal check up. cant wait NOT for the horrible test although am looking forward to hearing bubs hb and just having him checked on. pregnancy makes me a nervous wreck!

If I had that many pillows guaranteed I would wake up and my OH would of stolen them all :haha: He is such a bugger for stealing my pillows anyway and loves to wrap himself up in the blankets!

Hope all goes ok at your appointment! I have mine Wednesday after turning up for it Friday, fasting and being told they had run out of the drinks!
 
Good luck to all the ladies who have their GTT coming up. I think i mentioned that I failed the 1 hr, had the 3 hour done today and imagine I will hear the results in a couple of days. Am really hoping I pass this one, since a lot of women do, but am nervous because of BMI/family hx/age, etc.

I had my 28 week (we have one once a month) ultrasound today and all looked good!!! I love seeing her, and they even gave me sneak peeks of her in 4-d which was truly amazing!!!
 
I had my 2 hour today, didn't have to have a nasty drink though just had to choose a breakfast off the list and prepare it at home. 2 croissants, 2 tsps of jam and a glass of orange juice sounds a lot better than the sugary drink. I'm counting myself very lucky :)
 
Hi Everybody! I never noticed these groups before. Anyways I thought I would introduce myself. Im Lisa, and this is my first baby after having a miscarriage last December. My baby boy is due the 26th of March.
 
thanks for all the well wishes...I was surprised my body handled the sugar better then I thought..all i got was heart burn!! I guess i get the results when i go to my ob appt next monday.

Is anyone else having pains in their stomach muscles...I feel like i've done a ton of sit ups?????
 
Skeet, not so much my stomach muscles as my hips/pelvis and thighs... especially when I first stand up or when I have been up/walking a lot.
 
I have my GD test tommorow. I cant eat a single thing until afterwards, and my appt is at 10am!!! :wacko:I might die before then. Im usually starving before I even wake up in the mornings at 6am. But I do get a sonogram, so Im super excited about that. Ive got my fingers crossed baby girl has finally turned head down (shes been breech at every appt...)
 
Skeet...yes i ache like a mother..... lol!

Hi Mummies!

I had my two appointments today. Nurse this morning for my whooping cough jab. Was in and out of there in about a minute. The jab itself up was fine but my arm is sore now.

This afternoon I had my midwife appointment. Had the usual checks and had blood taken for the next lot of tests. There was a student in the room who checked my blood pressure. She also had a feel to find out the position of the baby. Turns out baby is breech at the moment. Heartbeat all good and I'm measuring on track. Next appointment in 3 weeks on 2nd Jan.
 
Hi ladies!

I saw this in my inbox today so I thought I'd share :flower: I haven't tried any of these but I have been eating a LOT of papaya since we got back from our babymoon so maybe that is why I haven't had the heartburn yet??

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q: Is there anything I can do to help relieve my terrible heartburn?

A: Heartburn is common during pregnancy because the hormones released in a woman’s body soften the valve between the stomach and esophagus, allowing gastric acids to travel up into the esophagus. This causes an unpleasant burning sensation.

Try these tips to reduce and prevent heartburn:

Eat smaller meals more often (5-6 mini meals throughout the day).
Avoid trigger foods, including highly acidic, spicy, and fatty foods.
Avoid wearing tight clothing after eating, which can worsen symptoms.
Chew fennel or sip fennel tea, which may reduce irritation.
Chew papaya enzymes with each meal or try eating a few pieces of fully ripened raw papaya, which aids digestion. (Speak with your health-care provider before doing so.)
Homeopathic remedies include Arsenicum 6c and Natrum Phosphoricum 6c, taken three times daily.
Slippery elm powder (1 teaspoon) may also help ease burning and irritation. Try adding some to your food or tea.


Always remember to discuss natural, herbal, and homeopathic remedies with your health care provider first.

Hope it helps some of you! AFM, still struggling with sleep so I'm just dead tired. We're hoping to buy our crib this week so lots of research around that. Still, I know! We're SLOOOOOOOW. Good luck on everyone's tests and test results :hugs:
