girls, hope we're all well! Been for my 31 week appt this morning. Baby is fine, good heart rate and actually kicked the midwife in the ear when she was using the cone listener thingy FH is a "good" 32 so measuring slightly ahead which midwife says indicates baby is growing well clever baby. Had some routine bloods 3 weeks ago to check iron levels so midwife looked at results today and I'm anaemic! As of 3 weeks ago! She was away when results came back so the doc should have phoned me to let me know I need iron tablets but he never did No wonder I've been feeling off it and faint! Oh well, shall start the iron today. Baby has flipped himself round and he's now breech (which obv isn't a prob at this stage) Have a nice day ladies x

Only 8 days until due date

Glad all is well Kimmy

Well back from my UAD scan.

Good news is I have no notching on my arteries. Discontented news is my indices are raised, ie my body is trying exceptionally hard to pump blood and nutrients to baby and vice versa. The measurements are off the scale of normality but he didnt seem to worry just wanted me back in 4 weeks for growth scan.

Baby measurements are bang on and he weighs approx 1lb 6oz at the min.

Baby was moving all over place and even doc could feel them lol. I have a consultant appointment Monday where I think im gonna get told to calm down as this can sometimes cause these indices to be raised. Im at no greater risk of pre-eclampsia than anyone else its just amazing how we all say stress doesnt affect baby but it does !!

Just gonna try and chill out for a while now x

 

[MadamRose]

Glad things seem to be mainly positive fluffy hope all continues well when you have you next scan.
I will def have Chloe by the time you have the next scan

Im 39weeks today and baby Chloe is still hanging in there the little madam. Got an appointment with midwife tomorrow, and im even gonna ask her about when i would get a sweep ect as i dont think Chloe is coming on her own

Loving all the good news ladies!

Had my apt today. Turns out that I do have GD. Sigh. So it's a tough diet for me now! I will be seen every two weeks now, with a scan about every 4 as lovebug is a BIG boy . Doc was already talking to me about having a big baby.

Have to do another GD test (3 hours long) in two weeks again to get a better judge of the scope of it. But the baby is doing well! HB was 147 and all seems well so far! Less than 3 weeks to V-day!

I see my MW today, hoping she can give me my hope back about this baby comign soon

 

[KimmyB]

wish, atleast they know and you can be treated accordingly. Did you have any symptoms of GD? I was just wondering how they knew to test you for it.
How is everyone else?
Good luck with the midwife Due!
I'm fine, apart from I've got thrush what a nightmare! I'm pretty sure baby boy has flipped himself back round aswell as I could feel his hiccups low down last night

 

[MadamRose]

[blondee]

Oh god, Hb1! How awful?

What happened? Jeez, i think it is is all of our nightmares to lose so late on. Poor, poor couple. That is just terrible.




I'm sure my little fella can tell when i am worried - he has just lodged a paw in my ribs to let me know he's there Pain schmain - i'll take it any day for him.

Sorry to hear about your friend hb.

Here is my DH tribute to our angel. https://www.jtsma.org.uk/mollie_whitfield.html

 

[wish2bmama]

OMG hb.. so sorry about your friends loss. I can't even imagine

Sorry about the thrush Kimmy!

Hope your MW apt goes really well today Due!

 

[wish2bmama]

Kimmy, They tested me for it because the baby is measuring 2 weeks ahead of his dates in size and weight. He's way to big for normal. So they tested me for GD saying that can cause this to happen.

It is in my genetics tho, so I kinda saw this comming. I havent gained that much weight but my mother and her mother and so on had it.

 

[KimmyB]

Thanks for the info wish - only reason I ask is because I had glucose in my urine at my last appt and was wondering if this could be a symptom of GD
HB I am so sorry to hear about your friend, I just cannot even begin to imagine...Poor thing.
Blondee I'm with you on that front - as soon as I read about HB's friend my little man started rolling around. I will never complain about being in pain because of him.

It happened this morning so I guess they won't know till they do tests - it's just so so so sad - I was only chatting to her yesterday afternoon - she was a little worried but no idea that it was this bad - my heart just breaks for her.
