*October Bumpkins*2014* 43 Babies Born!

Good luck Yo_Yo. Really hope your beyond all the worrying things and can enjoy the rest of an easy pregnancy!

AFM it is 430am and I had to wake to eat.
 
Got my first GTT tomorrow :-( but also a gender scan! yay! I bought something girly yesterday, i am so sure. Is anyone else finding out before tomorrow? Or am I going to break the boy combo :haha:
 
20 weeks today! Halfway there! Both of my boys came early though (one 17 days early, one 25 days early), so I'm not counting on another 20 weeks. Hope everyone has a good day!

Yay for 20 weeks!

Good luck yoyo!
 
I was so afraid to have my anatomy scan but it was so exciting! :) p.s is Anyone else starting to leak?? Lol i woke up to wet spots on my shirt. This is a bit early I believe
 
Geralyn and Hope-- Congrats on your Boys!

Happy Belated Mother's Day to those of us in the US.

We are having our anatomy scan May 23rd and having a gender reveal picnic on the 24th.
 
Jcliff - I never leaked in either of my other pregnancies and took a good few days for my milk to come in. My midwife said "Your milk will come in quick this time" since I got pregnant 4 months after giving birth but I don't think it will, I think it'll be the same.
 
jcliff; mine don't leak on their own yet that I've been able to tell, but if I gently squeeze I get a lot of colostrum already, have since I was around 16 weeks!
 
Ooooh! I forgot to mention, i've been feeling baby move for the last 3 days or so :happydance:
 
Look into the GTT as some things can cause a false positive and best to avoid that from get go. I REALLY recommend walking a bit if you are allowed to. Same with drinking water. Not to fake the test but to get an ideal. Issue many run into is drinking the solution and sitting for the entire time. I know I normally do not eat and just sit. Plates to clear things to put away/wash and if your a Mom already kids to chase:P

I passed on my GTT they wanted as I do my own sugar monitoring from regular meal at fasting and post meals here and there to make sure none come up to high. My meals are not normally as much carb as the drink to start with.
 
Kitty - I had gestational diabetes in my first and second pregnancy. I failed the test in my first, but passed the second but started to develop high sugar readings from testing my sugars after food later in the pregnancy.

As far as I'm aware, we have to sit for two hours afterwards and not allowed to walk around. I totally agree with you though, because really, who eats and sits for two hours straight? I'm definitely not sitting in the waiting room tomorrow morning with two small children screaming and running around, I'm going to go home and at least sit in my living room!
 
My boobs have been growing and hurting a lot more this pregnancy. With my DD nothing happened until I gave birth!
 
SisterRose-Got you. Sucks with a past history of GD. But at least it is controlable and good to know early on:) Good luck and hope it goes easy.
 
Thanks everyone. Baby all looks great. He was super active, and the sonographer found it difficult to get measurements with all the wriggling, but she persisted. All looks great!
They couldn't see the sch (clot) but couldn't say with confidence it was totally gone.
looking at scan pics I see what I think could be a tiny bit of remaining clot. But it's either gone or nearly gone :)

Amniotic fluid looks good too, so I don't think I can have leaked any.

Think I will sleep for a week now :)
