Officially in the 3rd trimester today! Is it coincidence that I got slapped with extreme tiredness today too? lol I just can't get going!

That was like me jackers but at 27 weeks. Horrendous! After my little boy went to nursery today I went back to bed and slept til 12.30!! Not done that since having kids!

Isn't it just awful?! I don't remember being so tired all the time throughout my pregnancy with my son. This time around its been brutal! Maybe has to do with more estrogen this time around around? Hope it doesn't last long lol

Mines another boy so I think for me it's just running round after a toddler too

Just to report back, my extended Glucose tolerance test was not too bad. I thought I'd be super hungry but I guess the sugary drink kept me going. Glad it's done anyway!

Yay, 3rd trimester! I am feeling super tired too! X

I have to go for the hour glucose test this Friday. Not looking forward to it at all.

Newest pain I've been experiencing is shin pain.
My feet have already started to get a bit swollen towards the end of the day, but nothing crazy. However, my shins KILL when I'm walking/standing. I'm guessing it's caused by the extra weight.

Mines on Friday too bicorn. Think mine is a two hour test. Bloody hate it! My morning sickness is back and the only thing that stops it is food so that will be fun not being able to eat

 

[sewing_mama]

I was dreading it too, mine was 2 hours long. I feel queasy until I eat in the morning too so felt very unwell on the way there on the bus. Somehow once I'd had the lucozade I didn't feel too bad and the 2 hours went surprisingly fast. Good luck ladies! It's the last thing we need during pregnancy really!

I go the 27th for my gtt, then a growth scan on the 29th to monitor baby and my fluids.

I'm finding this pregnancy to be very emotionally draining

Are you ok Hun? Here if you want to chat?

 

[mirandaprice]

I'm fine, thank you though!

I'm just hoping no more complications pop up, between the spotting/bleeding I've had off and on the entire pregnancy, the higher risk for preeclampsia and flagged for excess amniotic fluids I'm just hoping no more curve balls...it's taken so much out of me worrying something is wrong or going to go wrong.

I had a good cry about it all and chatted with my best friend and I'm feeling better and more positive.

 

[bicornbump]

I had my monthly growth scan last night and I'm happy to report baby is doing really well!

He's 2lbs 4 oz and isn't measuring small at all anymore. He also has plenty of room still, which is the main thing they're concerned about. They were going to schedule me for a scan in 2 weeks, but because he's doing so well I won't be going back for another 4 weeks (I kind of wish I could still get a scan in 2 weeks though ).

The tech even said if she didn't know any better, she'd say I'd make it full term! Which is shocking after being told at one point I couldn't carry a baby at all!

 

[broodymrs]

Amazing news bicorn and glad you're ok Miranda

 

[mirandaprice]

That's great news bicorn!

 

[PrincessTaz]

Great new bicorn

I had my 29 week appointment with the midwife and all was okay, also had growth scan and the consultant last week and baby is weighing approx 2.8lbs.

I have low iron so waiting for my prescription of iron tablets, I knew I did because I just constantly feel exhausted and run down. I'm already really constipated too so she's going to prescribe something to help with that too.

I'm super excited for Christmas now too, only 4 more sleeps

Haven't been on in a little while but Christmas prep and of course my little man and this pregnancy have kept me busy. I went for my 3 hr gtt on tuesday and haven't heard back yet which i'm surprised by since with my 1 hr they called like the next morning, fx it means my results were good but it could also just be that they are off for the holiday already!

Fingers crossed for you! Always hate having tests done this time of year... always takes forever! My Dr always tells me "no news is good news" so I'm hoping that's the case for you! 😊

It's been quiet around here lately! How is everyone doing?
