PAL SUMMER BABIES (winter down south) 2011 ;) - Being updated again!

[MrsWez]

Sorry to hear that Aussie, Last time I was admitted it took 4 goes and a lot of wiggling to get my IV going as I was sooo dehydrated. I hope if there is a next time it's a quick stick.

 

[Starry Night]

I'm sorry to hear that, Aussie. I'm normally good with needles and I HATE when the nurses poke you up and down. It stings so much. And it seems to be the unsympathetic ones that do that too. I hope you don't bruise or anything like that.

When do you get the results? Or was this just a routine test?

 

[aussiettc]

thanks girls, i get the results next thursday when i have my appointment with my OB. Unfortunatly i bruise easily and have some brusing already from their crappy job.
So the test was routine, just the usual gestaional diabeties test, pluss some other bloodwork, iron levels and such.
So for those of you who have had the glucose test(diabeties) how did you feel the next day. I'm feeling really really tired and sick. I've never felt like this with the other 3 tests i've done before. Has anyone else felt like this and did you pass??

 

[Starry Night]

Is there anyone still posting here that has reached that point? I probably won't get mine for awhile. I'm moving out of province at 28 weeks and still need to figure out who my new OB will be. Maybe my current OB will do it early so I can get the results on time.

 

[sequeena]

Sorry Aussie I can't help, I'm having a GTT in May

 

[ornahayes]

How are we all today?

Hey Aussie. I had my GTT a couple of weeks ago. Results were normal and I felt fine the next day so not much help I'm afraid - sorry!

Have been told we can not have the birth centre due to my BMI but we're off tomorrow to look at another hospital; refused to have Chip at the one I had my MC due to the really bad care we received.
FX for this one.

[sequeena]

ornahayes how unfair to refuse you to birth in the birthing centre because of that I've made my intentions to give birth in the birthing centre clear and have had no problems thankfully. I had a BMI of 34 pre pregnancy but it's gone down to 31 now.

 

[ornahayes]

Thanks Sequeena - it was 35 at booking in. Have no idea what it is now. More annoyed that the midwife I swa on Monday said she didn't think it would be a problem. Then the consultant on Fri flat refused as there is a risk I'll have a big baby and he wrote in my book! I've surprised myself as the only weight I seem to have gained so far has been my baby bump and everyone else keeps telling me this too - I thought I'd become a big bloater lol!
Just have to wait and see what they say tomorrow. They have a birth centre and a labour ward at this hospital and both offer water birth which is what I really want. Other plus is my OH works there (not as a medical person but doing research so might get some preferential treatment??? lol)

 

[SammieGrace]

Could you update me Megg? It is a boy, and our new due date is 8/18! Thanks, Court

 

[Starry Night]

V-day for me today!! Another milestone down!

 

[MrsWez]

Congrats Starry!! Mine's tomorrow! I can't believe I've made it this far.

 

[Kess]

Congrats Starry Night! Not long till mine...

 

[Starry Night]

Now I need a new milestone. My due date still feels so far away it's really quite overwhelming. I was thinking maybe the beginning of third trimester or when the countdown is to 99 days or 30 weeks as it's a new set of numbers.

 

[foxforce]

Congrats Starry and happy v day to you MrsWez for tomorrow

I think 3rd tri is a good next milestone, not long until 99 day milestone, I'm that today yay!
I can't believe how quick it's going to be honest!

Got another colleague at work announce their pregnancy today, so nice to have someone else to chat pregnancy things with although she is only 12 weeks I'm glad we're well past that stage.

 

[aussiettc]

i got a phone call from my OB yesturday, i don't have GD which means i dont have to go for another lot of test but i do have to increase my iron again. I've had low iron levels throughout this entir pregnancy so its no biggy to me.

Just means upping the dose once again, oh well things could be worse.

Today my eldest is walking to and from school on his own. He has neve walked to school before so i'm so neervous. He has to cross a train line and about 4 roads to get to school. You would think that at nearly 11 years old i'ld be fine with him walking but i'm just so worried that something might happen to him. If anythinng did happen i'ld never forgive myself.
It sillly i know cause i have to let him grow up but in my eyes he's still a little boy so now i'm counting down the hours untill he's home

Man i sound like the mostt overprotective mother

 

[MrsWez]

Congrats Aussie!

 

[Starry Night]

Aussie, congrats on not having GD! How did you and your son handle the walk home from school?

AFM - saw my OB today and he still wants me to be on pelvic rest. Dh and I are disappointed. lol Also have been looking into finding a new OB for when we move in a month. Turns out there isn't a single OB near my town so I will have to go to a city over an hour away. The city near me only has gps doing the deliveries at the hospital and even then, if something goes wrong, they'd have to ambulance me over to the big city anyways. With the complications I've had I'd prefer to see a specialist and have the equipment for epidurals/pain relief, emergency c-sections and NICU if needed to be on hand.

 

[aussiettc]

i'm still team Yellow, it getting had to stay team yellow cause my OB scans me everytime i have an appointment to check growth and everything still being in the right spot. I think she does it cause she wants to make sure i dont go into labour as i have already had 3 c-sections.

Only 10 (well actually about 8) weeks left now and bags are almost done. Just have to put in some clothes in for bub(better buy them first) and for me to come home in and i'm sweet.

 

[Starry Night]

Wow, it's getting so close for you! How exciting! I don't think I'd be able to stay Team Yellow with all those scans. I'd definitely be peeking! I'm the sort of person who reads the last page of a book when I'm still on the first chapter. LOL I recently found out I'm moving to a city where the hospitals don't tell you the gender because they're all Catholic and don't want to encourage gender-based abortions (or get sued ). I'm already coming up with plans to kanoodle the gender out of the technician for my next pregnancy.

I found a regular health care provider in my new town I'll be moving to and she'll refer me to an OB once I'm there. It's strange how different health care systems can be in the same country. In our new province you aren't seen by an OB until you're 5 or 6 months along or even later!! I was talking to my cousin who lives out there and she said if you have a history of miscarriages or complications they see you sooner. So between my miscarriage and this pregnancy with bleeding, an abruption and an uterus that doesn't have proper blood flow I'm thinking I may fall into that category...(and yet this baby is thriving in spite of everything)

 

[aussiettc]

i'm actually quite good at not peeking. I think its cause i know i have to have surgery so i want something to look forward to. I can't wait to met this little one. DH and i have been discussing names and we can't come up with anything that we both like. Its so funny cause now we have virtually given up untill after bubs is born. Bubs shall remain nameless for a while after birth i think, but it will be great cause we'll actually be able to find a name that is truely chosen for their personallity IYKWIM.

I'm DD is currently creating a pupet show for her little brother at the moment, so cute

Oh well time to get back to rest as i have a cold that is taking its toll on my health. I wish it would leave already!!!
