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

[TripleB]

Oh no h, that sounds like a nightmare - keep away from those spores though. Guess its too noisy for a nap?

Come on Munch, you know you want to be born tomorrow!

Am I naughty not to have my notes on me? I always leave them at home when I come to work - will have to change that. There have been more movements now - still nudges and wiggles but definately there and regular. Will prob call the midwife this afternoon for piece of mind though.

They say you should keep them with you always in 3rd Tri in case you're taken ill and are sparko. If I'm popping to the co-op I don't take them but any further and they come with me

 

[KimmyB]

I must admit I am naughty too and never take my notes anywhere apart from antenatal appts I know I should though!

 

[hb1]

My sis said I should've started taking my notes with me from 30 weeks - I thought it would be the case from 37 weeks.

Good to know LO is moving round Lou - it is so hard to know what's right and wrong - and then everyone is different so it's even hard to compare!!

I have had a bit of a nap - through some quite loud stuff to. They've finished for today now - the skip never came so there's a load of crap outside - but we have a long path and it's out of the way. The water pipe has been fixed so the water and heating are back on - the house is still in a dissary but the bulk of the floor is fixed and it's almost ready for tiling tomorrow - and they haven't had to rip out the kitchen which I heard being talked about at one point - oh has been fab - he's been my rock bless him!!
Shed hasn't been delivered tho- will have to give them a bell....

[wish2bmama]

Wow H! Sounds like you had a very crazy day! I'm glad they don't have to rip out your kitchen, and the water is fixed. Hope tomorrow is better and productive!

Love to everyone!

girls, it is soooo quiet on here lately! Maybe that's because I've got sooo much time on my hands and not much to fill it Happy 31 weeks to Hb and Louise And happy 39 weeks to Nic and Munch

I've got a day of cleaning ahead, boooooo! Already done the downstairs and our bedroom, just got to tackle the bathroom and do the ironing (that I meant to do yesterday ) Was up quite often in the night with a headache. It's eased off now but going to keep an eye as my feet are more swollen today, the left one is quite uncomfortable Took the dog for a walk yesterday and had to wear my wellies coz my fat feet wouldn't fit in my trainers

Have a nice day girls!

Crazy day 2 11th Novemebr 1000 hours

I am again stuck in the infernal prison they call "our bedroom", I can hear movement downstairs but only dread to think what is happening - I know a shed is being torn down. I have few supplies - luckily I secreted my laptop in here - just hope I can hold out until I am again free. In the meantime I will plot my revenge * laughs maniacally *

Not a great way to spend your week off eh h?! Happy 31 weeks to you - and thanks Kimmy!

Bit of a wobble on my blood sugar reading this morning. Trying not to panic but preparing myself that they might recommend insulin at my next appointment on Monday.

[KimmyB]

Hoping it's just a one off Louise and that you won't need the insulin (sorry, I'm a bit clueless when it comes to GD ) x

 

[hb1]

def don't panic Lou - you've been doing so well - just think back to what you've eaten / not eaten the last 24 hours.

I would think they would try metformin before insulin - but not after just a one off - it's still early days and you are still learning about balancing your diet.

[hb1]

If it wasn't for my car being broken I would be out having lunch with friends this afternoon

 

[Tulip]

Poor Prisoner H bless you.

Lou, agreed, don't panic. Could it be something else you need to identify and cut out?

Love to all - im having a grumpy day xxxx

 

[TripleB]

It's strange as I've had the same breakfast (porridge) all week with no problem and yet today my reading was 8.4 (should be 7.7 max). I have my next appointment on Monday so hoping that one odd one won't mean any sudden decision to put me on insulin (because I don't want to inject but also insulin-controlled = induction at 38/39 weeks).

I guess I shouldn't be saying that today - 39 weeks is long enough right Nic? Come on Munch, don't let me down, you are supposed to be born TODAY!

Was it my imagination Nic or were you planning a homebirth?

I don't think my hospital offer Metformin (at least it hasn't been mentioned or included on any of the literature I was given). I have read that it takes a few weeks to start working so maybe that's why they don't think its suitable for GD ladies after 28 weeks? We'll see on Monday I suppose. I think if its insulin then probably a nighttime shot is what I'm looking at - all my lunchtime and evening readings are fine.

Sorry girls, he's not shifting. I think Hubbys now decided we're going overdue, he keeps offering to bring me stuff home to keep me occupied! Ive got plenty to do - make Xmas pressies, housework, play computer games - I just can't get comfy.

Yeah I was planning a homebirth but my 'somethings going to go wrong!' paranoia got the better of me. I feel much calmer now knowing there's a crash team along the corridor xx

 

[hb1]

good point re the met - we only have 9 weeks left.

What did you eat last night?

Nic - you're not overdue till you're overdue - you have 7 days and there are inklings of "things happening" so don't give up hope!!

I had chicken in a creamy sauce with brown rice and veg. I checked the label for sugars and it was low but that is the first processed/convenience food I've eaten since starting the diet so I'm thinking I just steer well clear of anything like that and cook food from scratch only. I don't mind that generally its just difficult when one little attempt at cutting corners makes the reading go high (trying to get the nursery finished in the evenings!).

I did a little reading on Metformin and while it is NICE recommended (good or bad thing - not sure!) its not yet licenced for use in GD. Maybe thats why my hospital haven't mentioned it. It does seem as thought it might be right thing for me though as its only the fasting reading I am having more difficulty controlling and the Metformin would regulate things overnight. I will be asking about it on Monday if they suggest insulin (although still hoping I'm ok to continue with diet-only).

I have been scaring myself about glucose drips and no chance of an active labour - I just want this baby now!

Speaking of which, I am prepared to move my Munch prediction Nic - I'm going for a due-date baby.
