Hey ladies!!

Well aren't we just trucking along huh :) the 3rd tri soon!!!

Sweet how have your cervix checks been going?

Afm not bad just did my sugar test... not bad.. and they are checking my iron levels.

Embo sorry yo hear about your work... really sucks... do you think that you will be back to work before baby comes?

Hope everyone is doing well.

:hi: Kim - Last week showed a cervix holding strong but starting to funnel when pressure applied (i.e. standing) have another check today to see if it is shortening at all but they stop doing them in 2 weeks.

Hope your glucose test went well! I get my confirmation of the results today
 
Good to hear Sweet. So are you on bed rest then?

I will get my results next week.
 
not complete. I've been on modified bed rest which is really just taking it easy since they took me off work in June. They said we would discuss it more if there were any changes as the scans continue weekly for another couple of weeks. Once I hit 30 weeks they transfer me to the low risk clinic!! The weekly visits have made second tri go by really fast and I will miss them but I think regular visits become bi-weekly at that point anyways?
 
Only a few more weeks then !! good news.

I haven't had a tonne of appointments but am finding that it's flying by too!! And we're just starting to get busy again.. my oldest is trying out for competitive hockey... my youngest will be in skating and swimming... I really hope I don't end up on bed rest!!! :)
 
yesterday I had the first kick that made me say "ouch" out loud and grab my belly button. :haha:
 
Kim - my DS is in swimming but it's everyday throughout the summer and it keeps us busy. I'm glad I'm not on total bed rest. It's really hard to sit still for that long.

kwynia - I can't wait for those as silly as it sounds. Silly anterior placenta and I still can't feel much at all. DH hasn't felt anything and I feel kinda bad for him.
 
Awwwww yay for the baby girl. So exciting.

Bed rest can be a pain, especially for those who have little ones. My friend was taken off work at 12 weeks and was supposed to remain on bed rest her entire pregnancy. They eventually let her do more, but I can't imagine being on rest for that long.

Hope everyone is doing well. I agree time is going fairly quickly. I'm finally starting to relax and get very excited to meet this little one. I have an appt this week with my OB, but nothing major. I'm only 25.5 weeks so nothing much going on. Which is good I suppose :)
 
Glad to hear that everybody is doing so well! Love all the good news!!

I have been cleared by the maternal fetal specialist as of today. Baby is 100% healthy and was not affected by me getting sick. So relieved!!!

Now onto the diabetic clinic Friday. Here's hoping that I don't need insulin this time. Those 4 time a day finger sticks are sucky!!
 
Thanks girls! I feel 200% better. Hopefully we can now just enjoy these pregnancies... And the heartburn, 10000 pee breaks, baby karate chops, etc 😊
 
Hey ladies!!

How's everyone doing?

Sweet how are your cervix checks going? you're almost there!!

We had a 3D ultrasound yesterday.. sooo cool!!!

Also saw my ob today, passed GD test, my iron is also good.. which is mind boggling.. but I'm not complaining!! I see him again in 4 weeks, and will have another ultrasound to check the thickness of my uterus wall.. Other than that I've been coughing like crazy for the last week.. my bump hurts:( doc said it's okay for now...

That's a nice update. Things are going pretty slow and uneventful here, but I'll take it :) We had the 3d ultrasound at my last appointment, but baby was using the placenta as a pillow so it took up half the screen and we didn't really get a good look. She's just squirreling around in there. I've been feeling pretty good too!
 
kwynia how cute!! my lo was doing the same thing... using the placenta as a pillow, the tech was really good and was able to maneouver me around to get a couple of good pics... my lo also insists on having her feet in front of her face!!! hahaha nice to hear that you're feeling well.
 
Awww, snuggled all comfy in there!! 3d ultrasounds are really cool!

Cervix is great! Still over 4.5 cm which is very long for almost 30 weeks. I had a growth scan today and everything is right on track except for the head which is measuring over a week ahead :)wacko:). My last cervical scan is next week and I transfer into regular care for the rest of my pregnancy :happydance:. They may still continue to monitor me weekly as with my anterior placenta I still feel almost no movement. Ultrasound today showed baby head down with spine facing belly so would explain why I have not felt anything in almost 2 days.

3rd tri is almost here!!
 
V so glad your cervix is behaving itself :)

I'm miserable over here ladies. Having the worst cold I've ever had in my life. I've never seen as much snot and I sound like a 40 a day smoker with this hacking cough. I'm pretty sure I have some kind of sinus problem too cos I have such pain in my face.

On the plus side I'm getting some lovely movements from baby Nando. Some of the kicks were so powerful today my 18 year old daughter jumped out of her skin!! She couldn't believe the strength. Think it freaked her out a bit :haha:
 
Em that's horrible that you are unwell. Being sick and pregnant when you can't take anything for it is the absolute worst. I hope it clears up soon!
I'm still so jealous of those kicks!!
