Morning ladies how are we all?

 

[hb1]

Back from my GTT - I can call in after 7pm for my results - although she initially said you will be contacted after a week.

Went in - had a fasting blood test followed by a lucozade drink ( quite like lucozade so not so bad ) then a 2 hour wait before going back for another blood test ( ended up with one in each arm ) - so OH and I went to the supermarket instead of hanging around. Fingers crossed now!!

Glad you'll get your results today h - can't believe they said a week at first - we'll be 30 weeks by then and given the speed at which they have jumped on my GD suggests that waiting around is not good. Sure you'll be fine though and glad the drink wasn't too bad (mine was just like pure sugar dissolved in water and didn't have the fasting blood test first either).

I'm eager for tomorrow to come around quickly so I can see the diabetic MW (I think my care is being transferred to her at the hospital now instead of community care at the GP). I've been reading up a lot and it seems that there are vast differences from "mild" GD which can be controlled by diet, has little effect on the growth of the baby and whether or not to induce early - and "severe" GD which requires insulin control and results in gigantic babies, jaundice, blood sugar issues after birth, induction at 38 weeks and greater risk of c-section (if you believe what you read). I just want to start testing my blood sugars and have a growth scan to see what's happening.

Good luck for tomorrows appt Lou.

I think my anxious looks and continuous asking about how I find out made her feel sorry for me....

hb1 and Triple xxx

my inlaws are flying out - on 17th / 24th nov and staying for 2 weeks - til 5th dec
they said theyd stay with us to start with "but if its too much work for you we'll go into a hotel" - wtf? it wont be any work for me - cos i'll be doing jack sh1t on my arse on the sofa - either with the baby or still pregger n fat n overdue! - dropped a ton of hints during the call about the "lovely hotels on the beachfront" so they said they'll look into hotels when they arrive . . . wether that means they got the hint or not, im not sure

 

[hb1]

I'd be saying that they can help you out - lots of cleaning and cooking will need doing!!

 

[wish2bmama]

This will give you your fasting blood sugar level sea. If they think that's any cause for concern then you might get a follow-up GTT. Do you know why they have waited until 31 weeks to test? Usually GD shoes up around 28 weeks so they test then. xxx

 

[MadamRose]

about the bra size louise should be easy for me to remember (its one of my sisters middle names )

Yes i think it would sound a it strange calling me mummy

 

[hb1]

Hey Sea - the only time I've had that done was for liver function and not during pregnancy.

Nice new name Due

[SEA34]

Not sure, just had a tiny bit of glucose at 28 weeks and then again today but nothing so far that concerns them. It was 6.3 on the prick test they did so was in the normal range. I think my doctor likes me having my blood taken, my liver function has already been tested twice in the last 2 months x

 

[hb1]

My GTT came back normal am very relieved - had convinced myself I would have gd - it's about time I had something normal...
