Creme eggs?! Yum-o! I need to get one of those!

 

[Hann12]

Yeah they are super tasty! Only ever have them at this time of year but always so good!

 

[kezziek]

Ooh cadburys creme eggs have found their way into my cupboard this week the cheeky things.
I can't seem to get enough chocolate now. I remember having an extreme aversion to it the first half of thi pregnancy. I wish I still did! I've also taken up baking cakes every chance i get, it's a real urge. What I need is the urge to clean the house NOT Bake! Haha x

 

[TTCBean]

Yeah I was wondering how many more I need in this trimester. I'll add in an extra treat or serving at dinner time.

 

[pinktiara]

Funny this time around I have barely had any cravings my hubby has been having sympathy cravings like crazy he wants sweets all the time lmao just sitting at my 2 hour glucose test booring me and hubby are playing candy crush haha

 

[Sass827]

I cake AND creme eggs!

 

[pinktiara]

well that was fast got my results back online hours later everything looks in range but my ferratin (iron) is 6 from what im reading thats no good but I had the same thing with my son guess she will just have me increase my iron intake again.

 

[Foxycleopatra]

wow, its got really quiet in here over the last few days!

Pink, I'm glad your bloods came back good apart from iron. I will get my GTT results on Friday when i see my OB. I also got a FBC so I'm interested in my results, I'm guessing I'll have low iron too.

Here is my 28 & 29 week bump shots. To me it looks like i've dropped in the past week, what do you think? I'm thinking lil miss has now fully engaged and maybe thats why?

[pinktiara]

got my gestational results very confused

PATHOLOGIST'S COMMENT: Results meet the biochemical criteria for
Gestational Diabetes Mellitus.

is that good or bad haha like meaning i meat the criteria to have it or not to have it ugh sometimes I wish I couldn't see the results online. All my levels were higher than the range said they should be but not by alot.

 

[Lady H]

Not sure Pink. Hope it means not.

Foxy I agree, looking lower.

 

[julesjules100]

Hi ladies

Hope you've all had a good weekend. Mine was great as had family down (although did turn 37 and did it sober - booooo).

Pink, I must admit, it sounds like it's a yes if you're meeting criteria for GB otherwise presumably it would say "does not". Definitely worthwhile checking with your doc though and very odd that the results would be released directly to you without going via him/her. Let's hope it's just phrased strangely or the full picture is missing.

Foxy, yep, that bump is definitely looking lower!

I took a couple of photos of my bump on Sat night (at 29 weeks and 3 days - pre and post birthday dinner). Sadly even the old "hand on the hip" pose isn't helping hide it anymore!

[Lady H]

Looking good Jules xx

 

[julesjules100]

Thanks Lady H. I'm feeling properly swollen now though which isn't helped by the amount of food I've eaten over this weekend of celebrating! If I can't drink I was sure going to eat!

[Hann12]

Jules you look great! I reckon my bump is very similar sized to yours and I'm a week behind you!

Pink - yes I think unfortunately if your numbers are above the ones listed it sounds like you have it. It's bad that they just sent you that rather than called or brought you in to explain

 

[pinktiara]

Well looks like I do have gestational diabetes if its not one thing its another in this pregnancy ugh . first my gallbladder attack an now this I will probably be referred to a specialist and hopefully I can control it with diet. I am already hypoglycemic so I know about controlling my blood levels but this is a whole other ball game bah I just want Mason out and with me already.

Oh she will be calling me today I got the test on saturday and have the ability to see results online before the dr gets them thats why i already knew.

 

[jtink28]

boo, pinktiara. that sucks.
one of my best friends had GD and monitored it very well with diet - she ended up being much more healthy than other pregnant friends, because she was quite careful! it went away after the baby was born, too.

anyone else been buying baby stuff like crazy? bought the carseat this weekend. got the crib, swing, bouncer, diaper bag, dresser, all the big stuff. eek!

 

[pinktiara]

well that's reassuring thank you I hope its nothing I can't just control with diet as well. I have barely shopped will be starting next month haha I was like that with my first though !!

Thanks Hann. You've already had one baby though! If you're in the mood, post a bump shot at some point. I want to see!

Pink, try not to worry too much until you've spoken to the doc. It could be absolutely marginal (eg my DH has tripped liver function tests before as he was on the cusp at one lab but then another used a slightly higher referral range) and in which case it would be easily controlled with diet.

jtink, yep, I have been nuts recently. Have everything now except the mattress for the Bednest (the one that came with it is terrible so going to pick up a different one) ie the crib for up to 6 months, plus need some sheets for that and for the pram. Just checked out my car seat that was delivered to my parents so been messing around with that tonight (and thought I broke it!). His bigger cot is up here too although it's all boxed up. I'm resisting the urge to unpack it as i have to get it back to London next week. The last few bits I need are the monitor, bottle warmer and a feeding bra but will wait a little longer to get that. Once that is done, it's just washing all his clothes/bedding and then I'm focussing on finishing reading the baby books.

Job's a good 'un. x

 

[Sass827]

Could you see what your number was pink? I think some doctors use a different scale. If I remember correctly, some say 130 is the cut off, others say 140. I got a 143 my first gd test.
Looking good jules! Your smaller than me for sure. And as usual, great dress! Where do you find these things? I just look like a whale in everything.
Is everyone's baby upside down? I'm pretty sure mine is just spinning a lot.
