Milk lol. doesn't always work but it gets loads in her lol

 

[irmastar]

ladies you all sound so ready for your babies, you know what to do if they cry, bed times rutines, etc. I feel like it has passed alot of time since my son was born that I just forgot how to care for a baby, my SIL brought my niece for maybe 4 hours yesterday so I could take care of her while she was in school, she loves me always wants to play with me and yesterday was hell!! she kept crying so loud like I was hitting there was a momnet when I gae up and left her cry in the swing. I am so ready to have this baby..not

Have any of you had the GTT? I am due to go on thursday and I'm already dreading it.

 

[kmbabycrazy]

I had gtt it was alright bit annoying though xx

 

[misse04]

I try and fill her up constantly but shes never too bothered by food. Tonight I've tried thickening up her bottle to see if that helps lol

And not sure what GTT is? but you will be once your babies here will be different. To be honest Im not that keen on other peoples lol x

 

[irmastar]

KM- may I ask what did you have for breakfast or did you have to fast? I asked my mw and said to have what I normally do but that is chocolate cereal which I think might affect the result.
Misse- is the GTT is the 1 hr glucose test..

 

[misse04]

ergg sounds horrible to me, anything that involves not eating is not for me lol

 

[molly85]

We do a starve breakfast and have to drink this vial sugary drink the UK girls will prob have had glucose mines on the 10th I had 2 with Abby ruined my day after as you feel sick and dizzy yuck

 

[themarshas]

I had round 1 of GTT last friday and I was told to go 2 hours without eating, then you go in and drink a 10 oz sugary drink, wait an hour, and they draw blood. I failed the first round so I had the 3 hour test on Monday and I'm waiting on my results. For the 3 hour test I had to fast- no food or drink for 12 hours- then go in, they drew blood, I drank the drink again, sat for an hour, had blood drawn, sat for an hour, had blood drawn, sat for an hour, and had the final blood drawn. It was absolutely no fun.

 

[molly85]

Bloody hell I couldn't do that my veins would give up

 

[kmbabycrazy]

I did the 3 hour 1 so had to fast x

 

[molly85]

How is this an accurate test if there's different ways to do it

 

[Mosnippy]

Argh sounds awful I just had a blood test done for diabetes which I had to do exactly 2 hours after eating... So weird .

 

[irmastar]

never heard of that mosnippy..
Guess I'll fast I don't want to fail for whatever reason and then have to take the 3 hr one..I have it early morning so should be no pain..

 

[Mosnippy]

so weird we have differant tests all over the place.. lol

i have growth scan today lol cant wait to see how big my boy is! its only at 18:15 tho sooooo have to wait the whole dayyyyy!

i am run down, got a damn cold sore..again...and can feeel a cold looming..which has been for a few weeks and i been trying hard not to get it lol.. i keep sneezing which is horrid..but then the sneeze gets followed by a swift kick lol poor child lol

 

[misse04]

I've woke up in a good mood today even if it was at 5.30 lol. Yesterday I got a bit upset with Connie not eating and sleeping properly lately but have now accepted theres nothing else I can do. I can't force feed her and cant make her sleep and spose 7.30-5.30 is still 10 hours sleep and pretty reasonable. Shes stoppped waking up for her dummy again which is good so just going to think of it like that lol as Ive tried everything x

 

[Mosnippy]

i have reports coming out of my ears that i need to do today...but its ok as on leave from friday!! yayyyyyy till tuesday..just hope this damn weather clears up just a little otherwise stuck in a caravan with 4 kids is not going to be fun!!! NOT!

 

[kmbabycrazy]

Just got back from midwife and little lady is measuring 4 weeks ahead by fundal height...maybe not so little after all lol. Have got to go back in 2 weeks instead of 4 and if she's still measuring that far ahead I'll have to go for a growth scan x

 

[molly85]

Wow KMB beating the badger! I know full well from charting I'm due 5 days later than they think but not arguing as he measuring 2 weeks ahead by the bump at 25 weeks!

Girls you have all now seen my little girls a bit of a freaky eater basically being weaned etc. My bump buddy from having her has a son with a far more serious version of her digestive issues has just been to great ormond street and come back with a list of what causes it and blow me down they both hit the same tick list. I grew up with reflux and had no idea where it came from but I hit the same tick list to so adding in OH's genetic make up both our children are inclined to be refluxing milk haters! Very bizarre when things suddenly make sense but we are the reason she has to sit for ages to digest her food after eating and why she's on such a low amount of milk yet other wise very healthy.

 

[kmbabycrazy]

My due date only changed by 1 day from what I thought it would be. I had horrendous pains and aches yesterday. Obviously not so little lady was having a growth spurt lol.

 

[stardust599]

How come I've never had/been offered a diabetes test then :-S I've never even heard of it.


misse does your LO nap well during the day? i have found that the older my LO gets the more prone to overtiredness she is and if she hasn't had a good 2-3hours during the day (well she needed 2 naps at your LO's age) she'd be awake and unsettled at night and up at 5am without fail! so maybe she needs MORE sleep? she also used to wake at 5am then take a big nap in the morning to make up for it so i started to push the nap out a bit later every week and now we get 11-12 hours. i am very very strict on naps (so bad I turn down playdates at naptime etc.) cos my LO just goes into meltdown without her routine!

molly - my LO had severe reflux, we were in and out of hospital with weight loss, colic etc. for months and LO ended up on twice the adult dose of omeprazole :-O it was hell, i thought the stress was going to kill me some days - i blame her being early and low birth weight!

km - wouldn't worry too much about fundal height hun, bet baby is just perfectly average! i'm measuring behind but LO is just above the 50th centile.

mosnippy - hope you feel better soon


Does anyone know if their baby is head down yet? My little bugger is still transverse :-S
