Great news tims.xxx

tims - whats the sugar test??? xxxx

i cant WAIT to start feeling bubs

The sugar test is the glucose test for gestational diabetes. You have your blood drawn, and then drink an orange juice drink (tastes like really strong orange pop) and an hour later, they take your blood again. The drink is not too bad, I just found it hard to drink as it is cold. I have trouble drinking cold drinks really fast. It gives you the burps!

Glad all of your tests were normal Tims! What great news!!

Well, my 5 day streak came to an end yesterday!! I was sick again....but I would rather throw up every 5 days, then everyday like I was!!

I am also offically in maternity pants!! I was squeezing myself into my old pants and using all kinds of contraptions to keep the buttons closed......so I thought....why fight it! I am getting bigger, so might as well be comfortable! Luckily I have everything from last time, so I just had to get out my bin of maternity clothes and wash everything.

My ultrasound is in less than a week! I can't wait!! So excited to see how big baby is now, as he/she was just a head and body last time!

How is everyone else doing??

Hello!

Still suffering with sickness. It's getting a bit old to be honest. Late evening seems to be the worst time. Not getting much sleep due to freaky dreams, which in one I dreamt my bath was full of dead fish. Mmm delightful. I am already massive and running out of clothes to wear. Five weeks until my 20 week scan.

Firsttimer, in the UK they test your wee at every check up for glucose. At least they used to when I was expecting my youngest 6 years ago.

It feels like popcorn popping in my tummy. so so sweet!!!!

happy Friday ladies

Hi i am in uk too and i have to have it because i'm over weight, bmi say obese but i'm a uk14-16 so uk average is obviously obese haha!
Anyway, there is sometimes other reasons for it too to have it but not to sure what as someone i know also had it and she really isnt over weight! and a few other i know never had it either! i wouldnt worry about not having it, your midwife would of requested you should have it if she thought there was reason to do so!

[essie0828]

Hi ladies

Just wanted to pop in and say Howdy. Glad all y'all are doing well, besides the normal pregnancy woes.

Broke in and told my mom about baby. Her birthday is comming up soon so I put my 6w scan pic in her card. She was saying she couldn't see very well so I pulled my 11w scan pic out and said mabey you an see this one better. Lol. She just looked so confused and then I pulled out the roll of pics from my 15 week scan and she said omg how far along are you. Hahahaha. It was great. Took the doppler with me and let her listen and she loved it. I also found out my first cousin is pregnant after being told she would never be able to get pregnant. She is due May 21. We have the same doctor, and he is awesome! He reconstructed one of her tubes and did a repair of some type on her ovary and now she is pregnant for the first time at 32 with just one ovary and one tube. I cant wait for next spring!! Its gonna be great. Have a great week girls!

 

[Glowstar]

Aww what a lovely way to tell your mum and great news for your cousin. Glad everything going great xxx

 

[ttclou25]

Essie - Thats a great way to tell your mum - I bet you are pleased about your cousin too.

hope everyone else is doing ok its very quiet here so your probably enjoying our week of sun if your in uk before winter starts xx

 

[Cornish]

Essie, brilliant story and well done for being as patient as you have, you've done well waiting this long.
How are you ladies?
I was officially signed off consultant care this morning, back to midwife care and classed as low risk. It was a relief to hear that previous molar will have no effect on this baby at all. I'm still feeling a big blah and I can't explain why at all. Heard hb again, still a good 160bpm (poss girl?), so I know baby is ok, I just feel like I've lost my excitement as waiting for bad news.
Sorry for my moan.x

 

[Glowstar]

Aww it's prob because you get so much extra care when you're high risk. That alone makes you feel special even if it's in a scarey,worrying situation.

Mmmm since 12 weeks my babies heartbeat has been between 135-145 so I'm thinking boy??
