PAL Winter Babies 2010/11 - ** Waiting impatiently for our remaining babies! **

They also advise low GI for diabetes - might be easier than straight no carb or sugar - might be worth an ask....

 

[wish2bmama]

What is low gi hb? Ill try anything better

 

[MadamRose]

Well done Due - both you and Chloe look fab! You are in inspiration to us waiting ladies on the birthing front!

Don't blame you Jo - wish I could say I'm lighter now than before but with my appetite - no chance! I've forgotten what it was like to have a figure - I feel like a tomato on legs today (maybe my red top isn't helping!)

How are you feeling h?

Love the pouting story Kimmy - I've never been one for turning on the waterworks but its just like flipping a switch these days!

I've been freaking out yesterday and today that my kicks have gone from high up to low down (worrying about breach again). That's changed now - not sure if its a third tri thing but my WHOLE bump seems to move!

Thanks dont be scared to beleive you can do it without much pain relief, i wont deny it hurts. Some ways more than expected but at the same time in some ways less. I feel empowered that i managed to do it on just gas and air in the water. I think if you beleive you can you do it. The MW had a really way of looking at it each contraction is a hill to getting to you baby and its a powerful useful feeling and not a bad painful one

Kimmy yeah, lowdown pains can also be headbutts rather than kicks. Ive had plenty of those and he was defo cephalic on Friday

Anyone who wants me on FB, search for Nicola X and you should find me - red and White stripey bump pic - Kimmy I'll add you now but the phone app doesn't allow me to send a msg with it

Love all round x

As for ECV - no way. I'd rather have a section.

 

[MadamRose]

i added you on facebook tulip

 

[KimmyB]

Thanks for the adds girls
I'm glad you said that about the ECV Nic, I feel the same but didn't know how others would feel about it. Am I well within my rights to decline one and opt for C section? Obviously I'd rather not have a C section but I really don't like the thought of them man handling my baby in the way they have to in ECV. Fingers crossed you're right though and he's head-butting me

Here's some links W2B.

Low GI foods release slowly so you avoid insulin spikes - I have pcos and due to the impact on insulin resistance low gi is advised for me but also for diabetes, by including more low GI foods ( more wholemeal etc and less refined sugars and carbs ) the theory is you can better control your blood sugar - it's more person friendly too I would ask to be referred to a dietician at your dr's to discuss it...

 

[wish2bmama]

Due, I LOVE the pic of you holding Chloe and your dh holding her hand. SO adorable. xxx

 

[wish2bmama]

Thanks hb!! That sounds way better than my current diet! I will make an apt with a dietiction at the docs office.

Kimmy - have also heard that there are lots of positions that can help your LO turn by themselves.

My hypno-birthing teacher has had several beach babies ( you get an extra class if you are breach ) and has turned all but one ( the lady had a septate uterus so not much room to move ) using relaxation and postures.....

 

[KimmyB]

Wow thats impressive hb1, thanks for the info. I'm probably worrying myself for nothing but would rather be prepared for all eventualities. Obviously if he is breech I'll try everything I can by myself. But the way I feel about ECV...Well I doubt thats going to change.

 

[Tulip]

I agree. My biggest fear (this week) is cord accident. No way will I allow them to force him to spin when he doesn't want to. Try googling 'spinning babies' for the positions to try if you need them x

Thanks for the add, yummy mummy Phillippa! x

 

[Tulip]

Ooh so many adds, I am a lucky girl

 

[hb1]

No - I don't think I would have ECV either

 

[TripleB]

Totally with you on the ECV. My friend had one, said it was complete agony (not positive pain like labour, just pain pain). She bawled her eyes out and it completely freaked out her hubby. She had her beautiful boy by c-section in the end.

I've been very good at sleeping on my left so hoping that will help with the positioning.

Hubby has just gone out to play squash - have just sent him a text asking him to get me some ice-cream on the way home (major craving), I hope he complies!

[Tulip]

I hope you were specific with the type and flavour, Louise You don't want to be disappointed

 

[TripleB]

Oh blimey, good point! Follow-up text on it's way - don't want any mint choc-chip nastiness (his fav - yuck!) xxx

 

[wish2bmama]

Eww mint choc-chip. I like frozen yogert. And some berries on top yumm
