This is about the only thread I keep up with, so I figured I'd post while waiting on hubby to get home...

MY WATER BROKE! (SUCH a weird feeling... I thought I peed myself )

OB wants me to come in as soon as hubby gets home so they can monitor me. This little guy will be here by the end of tomorrow! Hopefully sooner rather than later. Will update when I can.

My biggest fear is that my doc is trying to create problems. I went in for my first prenatal appointment yesterday and they already have me all booked for a gd 1hr test, 24 hour urine hold, thyroid follow up you name it...and this is even after I told them I have never had high bp, and my sugar has always been fine. I think I'm going to call them back and tell them I'm not doing it. She said I need the glucose test bc my bmi is 35 wtf,

 

[mel28nicole]

That's ridiculous! My BMI is 50 and they are just waiting until the time they usually do everything. I am, however, way more thirsty than normal and I'm afraid I may be developing gestational diabetes. But still, even tho my weight is a concern they never made me feel like it was. Maybe you need to see another doctor? I understand it's nice to take precautions but I don't think you need to do all the testing so soon. What if it comes back negative and you develop it later on and they miss it? That could lead to a lot more problems.

Hi ladies! Great bump pics...definatly bumps!

The glucose test is pointless early on, wether or not u are "plus sized" it should be given later on like wayyyyy later on and that is the time they will truly know if u have GD.

Go with your gut instinct. Trust me as a veteran mum, who has always been heavy even before my first, there is absolutely nothing wrong with you nor are u at risk for anything that a smaller woman would be predisposed to have.

Good luck!

Yeah normally you are tested for GD around 26-28 weeks...Thankfully I got to skip that test since I'm already Diabetic. Diabetes sucks though..ugh

Just got back from the drs. Heard baby hb was between 170 and 180. My blood pressure is fairly low. Was only 90 over something so she said it would explain my dizzy spells. I have also lost 6 lbs in the last 4 weeks but she doesnt seem to be concerned. I am officially off to see the ob as of next month so I am very excited. Should I be concerned about my blood pressure. Dr just said we will have to keep an eye on it. Just slightly worried now.

 

[MommyCandice]

It may have been high blood pressure I dont know. She just said pre eclampsia

I have a history of high blood pressure so I've been on BP meds and my BP is on the low side as well. I'd just keep an eye on it, which I'm sure your OB will be doing.

From what I've read in the past, low blood pressure is common in the first 24 weeks of pregnancy.
