Happy 34 weeks hb and Lou! Sorryou have been sick hb :hugs: Never fun :(

Hope the little one comes out soon Hannah :hugs:

Sorry about the bloods sea, but yay for 36 weeks and engaged!

afm, I have been busy! I have my final exam in less than 2 weeks! And now I am being seen by my docs every week, then 2 times a week at 32 weeks. They upped my GD meds, but say I am doing well with the diet so, so far so good! But I really want a cupcake :blush:
 
Ah wish - you and me both hunni, although I'm leaning towards a slice of apple pie! What meds do they have you on? I'm injecting 6mls of slow-acting insulin every evening - its not so bad and its really working on my blood sugars. Diet works for me during the day. Glad you're being looked after. I'm at the hospital every week and its very reassuring. I should find out my induction date a week on Monday - getting very excited now that baby could be here in 5 weeks!

Hope your bloods come back ok Sea - great news on measurements and engagement!

Me too, think its the 11th time I've had blood taken for one reason or another.

I was only measuring 32cm 2 weeks ago so must have had a growth spurt certainly feels like it.

Not long for us all to go now, are you allowed to eat normally again straight after the birth or do you have to wait for further tests xx
 
Straight back to normal as soon as the placenta is out (that's what I've been promised and I'm holding them to it!). Have a follow-up GTT six weeks after the birth to make sure everything is ok then annual checks (there is a higher risk of developing Type 2 diabetes having had GD). If they induce me at 39 weeks (5 weeks today!) thats a day before my 30th birthday. I'm going to ask for a few days earlier in the hope a) I can be at home with the baby on my birthday and b) I can celebrate with some champers and a big box of chocolates!

I know all about growth spurts supposedly this little one has put on nearly 3lbs in 4 weeks! Blood tests too - a weekly occurance! I used to be terrified of them - now I watch! :rofl:

Thats good news, hope you are home with your baby for your birthday that would be amazing. I don't watch the needle go in but don't mind watching the blood come out :haha:

Mmm apple pie. :) I am on 5mg of Glyburide for now. They hope the pills work, if not then I will be switched to the injections. Yay for finding out induction date soon! :happydance: How exciting!
 
I was hoping they might try me on that first but according to my hospital pills aren't licenced for diabetes in pregnancy in the UK so it was straight to the injections - boo! I know some ladies are on metformin but they seem to be in the minority here. xxx
 
Oh really? Wow, I didn't know that... hrm.. That has me thinking now. I hope my doctors wouldn't give me something that could hurt my baby.
 
Oh no wish, I didn't mean that, please don't worry. Some women get it here prescribed by doctors anyway (they don't have to follow the rules!) but it hasn't been through the bureaucratic process. Sure it has in the US because it seems to be a lot more common to prescribe there. xxx
 
Oh fthew! I have had to be careful with doctors in the US, they like to over perscribe meds that have worse side effects than the meds are made for! Grr... I didn't have that problem in Germany, so it's taken some getting use to.

I had turkey baccon, 3 eggs and a class of milk for breakfest and my blood sugar was 125! :dance: Now to think of my morning snack. I am thinking a yogert is in my future :)
 
Good work on the breakfast! I like yogurts for snacks too - also nuts, cheese and low-sugar cereal bars. xxx
 
Sorry bout bloods sea but yay on being engaged :D
hugs 2 girls who want cake etc it will be worth it in the end x
 
:hi: girls, just popping in whilst little man is having a nap post bottle :D

Happy 34 weeks girls! :happydance:
Good news on the blood sugar Wish :happydance:
How is everyone else?

I am loving being a mummy, Archie is such a good little baby. He's had a bit of an unsettled day today but can't really complain as so far I haven't had one sleep deprived night! Touch wood it stays that way.

Love all round x
 
Great to hear from you Kimmy! And also great you are proving my Mum's theory (to try and calm me down about pushing out a whopper) that bigger babies are good sleepers!

Love the new title Nic - Dillon is definitely here! :hugs:

I've just been buying stuff on the internet for my hospital bag! Maternity pads and nursing nighties - oh the glamour!

I was on Metformin till 17 weeks as per my consultant for my PCOS - while in the UK it isn't licensed for pg it is used for pcos - they only stop it then as the issue that causes mc in pcos due to hormone inbalance should be over by then. It is considered safe in pg - and the benefits outweigh the risks - I don't think any problems have been seen to be caused by Met.

It works by making your body more sensitive to the insulin you produce naturally and so more easily maintains the steady blood sugar level.

I was on 850mg twice a day and Ollie seems fine :)

Kimmy - Glad you're enjoying mummyhood :)
