i'm having mild cramps, like period pain, but it doesn't hurt... no that's not quite right.
it feel something like between pain and pulling the muscles, if that makes sense.
would these be the braxton hicks? or just some more stretching? pfff confusing!

So i had to do a 24 hour urine test last week, you have to save your pee for 24 hours then bring it to the doctor. They had me do it so they would have a baseline on the amount of protein in my urine for when my BP gets high. I never heard back so i figured no news was good news. I found out today they didn't have my new phone number, they had my sons which used to be mine. They had left like 3 messages. The first said they had my test results and the doctor has some recommendations for me. The second said that my protein was elevated, but not to the preeclamptic level yet and they would talk to me at my appt. I don't know which one they left first, so i guess i will need to call them tomorrow. I wonder if this means the high BP is just around the corner, or if it simply means I normally spill more protein in my urine if thats possible? They took my blood too, but didnt say anything about those results. I think that one had something to do with my liver function. Either way it is all getting really real and scary now.....

Hello!

Coffeebean girl and I celebrated week 27 by fasting for longer than necessary (I forgot about my morning glucose test and gorged myself on apples at 1 in the morning - oops), drinking the Nasty Orange Fizz and then spending hours waiting and being poked... waiting and being poked... excellent times indeed. Then had to run-waddle like a mad penguin up a hill to my son's school to pick him up. Whew. Next week I think I'll just go buy myself a cupcake instead.

Still catching up on recent stuff here... hearts to all.

Hello everyone,

Well my GTT is normal which is excellent news as with my son I had Gestational diabetes and they said there was a 90% chance of getting it again, so thumbs up for not having it.

I've also put on a bump picture of 28 & 32 weeks, I can't believe time is going so fast and we only have 8 weeks left to meeting our little monster... crazy stuff...!

Hope everyone is ok and well.

Haha, no, I managed to take it at the weekend, when monster was in bed.. LOL

ru, when will you know the results?

MMMn... soon I hope, a day or so?

I got a call this morning from the EMMA Clinic (EMMA: Evaluating Maternal Markers Acquired) which sees woman with a risk for pre-eclampsia or IUGR. I gather they have rather strict regulations for who they see. My 'marker' was having higher than usual HCG levels a while back, so I'm hoping the fact that they want to see me isn't... Bad, that my doctor is just being extra careful. Hard to be chill though when high risk specialists want to see you.

I have a diagnostic ultrasound this Friday and a clinic meeting with a specialist on Monday... so it's happening quickly. I'm trying to iron everything out, have SO take these days off (they won't be happy about it this last minute, it's irritating - a lot of the other guys at his work have been taking time off to screw the pooch lately so they're behind and need everyone there -- he never takes days off and this is something IMPORTANT) and juggle the little mister who has a professional day. The up side is that I'll be able to iron everything out with hospital registration and re-familiarize myself with the place - it's been 5 years.

Crossing fingers everything's fine - I feel good, just pooped. I can't believe 3rd tri is so close...
Hope all is well in your womby world? X

Got a call back from doctor today. I guess my 24 hr urine test results weren't great. I wasn't really expecting that since my BP is still fairly good. So they want me to come in tomorrow for some reason to see the doctor. I don't know what they will do or say so wish me luck.

 

[tinybutterfly]

good luck today!!!

I feel good, just pooped.

LOL
so true, so true bahahaha

hope the specialists are just being careful, i would be so annoyed if they didn't tell me anything beforehand, like WHY i have to go.

Wooohooo great news. Looking good too

I had my scan yesterday. The levels haven't dropped anymore so although they remain reduced it is not enough to have to deliver today which is a huge relief.

The growth has tailed off a bit - she only gained 3ounces in a week and dropped from the 40th to 20th centile mark but they said she looked healthy wriggling around and there was a lot of practise breathing which is a great sign.

I have to go and see my consultant on Tuesday for a definite induction date which is likely to be the 8th Feb but she needs to check the diary for how busy they are.

It was a hugely busy day and I feel knackered now lol. I have my reflexology woman coming round tonight to see if she can help me with the spd pain so looking forward to that as she was great in my pg with Maff.

Oh and I got to hold teeny tiny twins that the girl I was in with last week had. I forgot how small they are.
