March 2013 babies - we all have our beautiful babies :)

[sportysgirl]

I have my GD test tommorow. I cant eat a single thing until afterwards, and my appt is at 10am!!! 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...)

I have my GD test tomorrow too! Hope yours goes ok. xx

Good luck ladies on the GD test!!!

I wanted to update on my 3 hour glucose... I passed with flying colors! I am soooo happy and relieved!!!

Good luck to all you ladies still waiting for yours... and if you fail the 1 hour try not to freak out, like I did, because I guess it is true that it's possible (and likely) to fail the 1 hour and pass the 3 hour.

 

[skeet9924]

Great news Amy

Congratulations on the glucose results I think I only get a call if mine are bad - I think that's a bit weird, I'd rather know either way!

First day of third tri for me today, and Alfie's moving around lots in celebration!

 

[AmyB1978]

Welcome to third Tri, Rose... can you believe we are there!?!

 

[MrsChezek]

Lou - what's the next set of blood tests you got? I'm wondering what to expect at my next appointment.

My doc hasn't really mentioned the whooping cough jab…do we get these in the US as well ladies?

AmyB - how awesome that everything looked great on your 3 hour! I'm so happy for you

rose - welcome to the third tri!

How did everyone else's GD tests go? Still 8 days to go until mine…SO I've finally succumbed to using a heating pad in the evenings and it's really helping me sleep. I just hate applying heat to my hip and lower back knowing bean is right there. So I do it every other day so I actually get some sleep on those nights. Anyone else try heat?

This may be a silly question, but in Canada we have designated parking spots for expecting moms and moms with young infants, I'm just curious if you ladies have them in your area, are you using them? My mother asked me the other day when we were out shopping and couldnt find a spot why i kept driving past the spot...i just didnt feel that i needed the spot... any one else?

 

[sportysgirl]

GTT test went ok. Had one blood test then the drink then another blood test 2 hours later. Seeing the midwife next week so assume I will get the results then.

Rose, hooray for 3rd trimester!

Hope everyone is well. xx

No, I really can't believe it!! Time is going so fast. Booked a 4d scan for next Saturday 22nd, can't wait, planning on playing the DVD to everyone at Christmas

Skeet- we have some of those around my town too... I haven't used them yet though. Guess I don't feel *pregnant* enough quite yet lol. I have a tendency to park in the way back of parking lots anyway- extra "exercise" and less risk of someone running into me! (I have been hit and ran 5 times.. little paranoid now lol)

 

[skeet9924]

I usually park pretty far away..actually I park near the area that you return your cart too... I usually dont mind the walk and figure the same as you as its good exercise

My doc hasn't really mentioned the whooping cough jab…do we get these in the US as well ladies?

I got the whooping cough shot at my last appointment. They said they recommend it in the third trimester (to help pass antibodies on to baby) or right after birth.

 

[MrsChezek]

skeet - that's funny that you brought that up. My DH was adamant that I don't "cash in" on them the other week! I don't know, I didn't feel like I was showing enough nor did I feel like I needed the shortcut, but now that I'm starting to "waddle" (as my DH put it), I might just start using them

rose - how exciting to have the 3D DVD to share with family at such a wonderful time! Hope you share some images with us as well

Stelly - I try to park further away too! It totally is extra exercise CANNOT believe you got hit and runned (for lack of a better word) that many times! That's insane…where in the world do you live? Remind me not to visit Just kidding…but seriously, that's scary.


SO I seem to have lost my appetite since Sunday Anyone else experiencing this? Thinking of calling my doc to see what he thinks…I have to force myself to eat. I'm not nauseated or anything…just not hungry.

Thanks for chipping in wanting! I'll have to ask my doc about it at my appointment next week. Don't want to miss out in case it's being overlooked.

MrsChezek, I live in Alaska... so notoriously slippy parking lots and bad drivers haha. (just to clarify, they hit and ran my car.. not myself lol) I just got frustrated cause no one would ever wait till i got back to my car or leave a note or anything.. I just walk out of the store to find dents!

I have had this off and on as well. I am still getting nausea, and even still vomiting at times, but that has been going on. The loss of appetite has been an off and on thing for the last week or two. There are times I am really hungry but other times, not at all.

 

[MissPiggy]

Just been told i am being attacked by a nurse next Friday lol, Flu Jab, Whooping Cough Jab and then my GTT....pin cushion comes to mind lol xx

 

[rose.]

I will definitely share some pictures once it's done mrs chezek can't wait!!

I can't say that I've had any loss of appetite - I seem to be hungry all the time lately! I have started to fancy vegetables a lot more though, and don't fancy curry any more - weird how tastes change! I guess it's good to fancy vegetables right before Xmas, hopefully I'll go for them rather than a mountain of pudding.

I haven't talked to my midwife about whooping cough yet but have an appointment next week so I'm going to ask then. I'm also going to ask if there is any chance of some physio for my pelvis as it just seems to be getting worse.
