Mid June and July Firecrackers Group Due June/July 2017!

[Gagrlinpitt]

I had to get mine at the end of the first trimester because of my weight... I'll have to get it again at 25 weeks. I guess they are trying to catch it early for overweight woman now.

These tests vary from country to country and trust to trust tbh. Where I am you have the gtt at 28 weeks if you have a risk factor and repeat blood tests. I've got the gtt to look forward to as well..

 

[PrettyInInk42]

I'm worried I'll end up with GD cuz my dad had type 2 for many years and my sister developed it during her pregnancy. I just hope I handle it better than she did and don't "evict" my baby 20 days early cuz I'm too selfish to give myself insulin.

13 weeks along and still no bump. : /

 

[blessedmomma]

Where I am they do it between 26-28 weeks for everyone. It's the same as the state I moved from. I'm always nervous I'll fail, but I haven't yet. Type 2 runs in my family and the chance increases with each pregnancy. I have 8 kids, but I had some mc's, so I'm on my 14th pregnancy.

Gagrl- it doesn't surprise me they are doing it earlier sometimes. I really hope you pass the 3 hour one and the next one you'll have. I had to change my diet while breastfeeding one of mine who had several allergies and it is not easy! I know you would manage and I'd hope you weren't put on insulin, but even the diet changes is a lot harder than it sounds. I had to keep reminding myself it was only for a season. I'm praying for you!

At the office I go to they typically do it at 28ish weeks unless you have risk factors. I'm having a GTT done on the 26th. I'm not overweight but my dad is diabetic which also puts me in the risk category .

Anyone else's bloating get so much worse at 12-13 weeks?! I'll be 13 weeks Wednesday and all weekend and even today, my stomach has been so bloated and uncomfortable. I can barely eat because it's killed my appetite.... I heard that the bloating does get better at some point... right?!?! Lol

 

[DobbyForever]

My bloat is terrible I'm looking at pretty with envious eyes lol

I was surprised my gyn didn't order it. I gained like 5 lbs. I shit you not. But I was on a low carb low cal diet the first few weeks and I was dying so I just went back to regular eating (not even overeating). My mom is prediabetic and had GD with the twins (so one of her four pregnancies) but they decided not to test me. Which was fine by me haha

 

[lesondemavie]

Yes my bloating/gas is so much worse in second tri! I hardly had any in first tri!

Dobby - I have now also gained 5lbs after losing 3 or so in first tri (so technically 8lbs since mid first tri and 5 since pre-pregnancy). I'm a bit worried I'm gaining too fast now, but with the nausea easing I should be able to cut back on the sour candies and night time snacking

 

[Gagrlinpitt]

First day back at the pool and swimming felt fantastic. No pain or anything during.. Although about twenty minutes after I got out the regular back and hip pain returned... I guess that's what major trauma will do to you...

 

[DobbyForever]

Leso glad the nausea is letting up. Unfortunately for me I wasn't gaining from trying not to try up. I was getting dizzy spells and hot flashes and weakness from not having enough food. Once I started eating what I usually ate (but I was also more active) I felt much better. I have had very little symptoms since I switched to eating actual food. I eat a bowl of cereal for breakfast, a handful of fruit at snack, lunch, usually a glass of high pulp oj when I get home, then dinner. And dinner is like baked chicken with brown rice and veggies. I just give up lol

Gag so glad hear you are back in the pool! Hopefully the pain eases with time

 

[Thejoie]

Gagrl: glad the pool session went well!!

Leso: I would have it on/off before but this has been longer and more intense. Ugh.

I finally ate breakfast at 11 and now I'm nauseous. Fabulous. Only 8 more hours of work today and I can finally go home... today is NOT my favorite day of pregnancy.

 

[blessedmomma]

Gagrl- the swimming sounds nice!

I've lost 3 lbs since getting pregnant and stayed there. I usually don't gain anything in first tri and maybe 3-5 lbs at the end of second tri. I get all my weight in third. I expect it will be the same this time.

 

[PrettyInInk42]

Oh, don't be jealous of me. A few hours after the last pic was taken, I was super bloated. I almost looked full term. lol

I'm jealous you're still fitting in your clothing.. I've been out of my regular clothing since 10 weeks..

 

[Thejoie]

Well... definitely have the stomach flu. It's been going around and I feel like death. One more patient to see and I'm leaving early tonight to sleep in my bathroom

Doing mostly good... My morning sickness has eased up a bit but still comes and goes... I think I have a mild uti, waiting for my results from the DR. I also have another appointment this Thursday, hopefully they will do a scan so I can see my baby again! I have also been feeling bloated (even though I haven't gained any weight yet) and tired...(I don't do much and feel exhausted by the end of the day...) but Oh well

I hope you feel better soon!!! I was sick about a month ago and it was awful!!!

 

[blessedmomma]

Ew thejoie feel better!

I was feeling better and of course was sick all weekend. Feeling a tad better today.

The round ligament pain has started. Not a fan.

This are good news right? How often did you see your midwife?

This pregnancy has been treating me very well since the beginning. I did not throw off any time despite my MS (and this has been gone). However, I get headache often (3-4 times per week or more) and also has been suffering of constipation.
I'm going to start the injection to prevent premature labor this week.
