ltrip, yea in a tighter top you might see it!

Mummaf-congrats on your milestone!

Zooy-are you diabetic, is that why they would test so early? I dont usually get tested until 27-29 weeks, actually my GD test is next week wednesday, I will be 28 weeks. I generally only do 1 test.

Lovelym- My husband can feel them even lightly probably since about 23 weeks. He puts his hand on where I am feeling them and if i press on his hand a bit he will feel them. Unfortunatly she really moves around low where I carry alot of fat, not up top where it is very tight. So it's probably harder for him to feel. I feel her like crazy now though, althought not hard, just a lot of movement.

Had to work up the courage but here is my 32 week bump

 

[Melly Belly]

Had my first GD test today. Had to take my 2 year old who did great till the last 15 min! I hope I don't have to do many more of these. I know I'll have at least one more as I'm only 12 weeks.

They had me do my 1 hour test early too (they wanted it before 20 weeks) because of my weight, etc. My ob wasnt worried that it would come back abnormal, and she was right...the worst part is sitting and waitinggggg...i hoarded all the magazines in the waiting room and read them all

 

[lovelymiss]

I've never heard of early GD tests just based on weight... I even hinted that I wanted one early and they wouldn't do it. That's so weird to me. Hope everything comes back normal, ladies!!

I'm 23 weeks now and try pushing down when I feel him, but I can never feel him. He's mostly been down low which is all flab. Hopefully he moves up soon!!

 

[lovelymiss]

chatham- BEAUTIFUL bump!!

 

[tryn4]

Yea I have never had or heard of an early test based on weight, and so far I have never had GD as yet!

Chatham, you look beautiful luv!

LovelyM-Thats where my baby moves is low down, you will soon be able to feel the outside..I have lots of flabs there too lol!

Im not sure if it was the office i go to wanting it done early or what..but i had an apt yesterday and she said it was totally normal, better than normal in fact...but i do have to to do the 3 hr one still later...blehhhhh...ill be bringing a book and my tablet along for that one...

Hmmm. Odd. Glad it came back normal! But why on earth do you need to do the 3 hour if this one came back normal!? I could see having to do the same test again later in pregnancy like you normally would, but as far as I thought you only do the 3 hour if your shorter (1 or 2 hour) comes back with elevated levels...

No idea...i have another appointment before then, so ill ask, i didnt think to ask about it yesterday

 

[lovelymiss]

I really do carry my weight well and photograph well! I think right now my weight is balancing, so I look thinner (minus the growing belly if that makes sense!). Then I wonder if I just take really good photos and I'm really fatter than I am imagine LOL. BUT you can only hide so much!

Anyway, here's a comparison! I was probably slightly sucking in at 10 weeks, but I can't suck in now!

 

[ltrip84]

Looking good lovelymiss. There's no denying you're pregnant!

 

[donnarobinson]

@ Melly belly- Hun I would start asking some questions, firstly in all my years having kids, plus all the women I know, I have never heard of a person having a GD test so early, reason being it really doesnt develop until later in pregnancy. Also, I have always had normal results, and never had to do the 3 hour. Lovely miss is right, you do not need a repeat if results are normal. The 3 hour test is ONLY for ppl who fail the first. But I think all this they are doing is pointless until well into your 2nd tri...very strange!

@ Donna hey girl! glad everything going well for you!

Lovely-you have me CONVINCED your size is in your head. There is no way your clothes are bigger than mine. Honestly. Here is a pic of me this morning, 27 +1

 

[Whitesoxfan41]

OH lovely bumps ladies! I didn't start feeling babe on the outside until about 26 weeks, I do have an anterior placenta though.

I have gestational diabetes but can't meet with the diabetic educator for a week and a half. I've cut sugar and bad carbs. I never had it with my other 3 pg's but I weighed much less and was much younger.

 

[Zooy]

Zooy-are you diabetic, is that why they would test so early? I dont usually get tested until 27-29 weeks, actually my GD test is next week wednesday, I will be 28 weeks. I generally only do 1 test.
.

I'm not diabetic, that's the dumb thing. I had a bad reaction to a slice of cake a few weeks back. Now it's probably because I cut out sugars lol but they were being precautionary.

Here's a pic in a tank. You can tell a lot more than in the other pics when I'm in a regular shirt.
