So im having more issues with needing to run to the loo today.. Hoping again that its a labour clearout but time will tell..
 
Jo when did Georgia come, I have forgotten? Hopefully soon you will have baby number two here.

I am telling myself I won't do the impatient dance this time, since Laila made us wait FOREVER lol.
 
Georgia was right on time, day before my due date but i actually went into labour at 39+5. I dont remember having so many bh and pains with georgia tho, every time baby moves now it really really hurts esp when he sticks his big bum out! I keep thinking something is happening cos its so painful but then nothing :(
think maybe im trying to read too much into things - must stop being so impatient!
How are u feeling armywife?
 
LOL can't blame you.. I was in early labor starting at 35 weeks, i was ready!

I am doing good. Starting to get into the uncomfortable phase. Braxton hicks daily and just sore from stretching pulling pressure, all that fun stuff. He is also VERY active during the day now so that has been fun. Its so different this time since my placenta is in the back. I am seeing and feeling more than I did with Laila.
 
Failed my 1 hour glucose test. I have no choice but to take the 3 hour or be labeled with GD. What makes me mad is I was well within the normal range but for some reason my doctor uses the lowest number as pass or fail. I may not have ben failed it. I had a bad experience and got into a fight with the lab people which I am sure did not help and my blood was drawn late because of it. I am so mad right now.
 
the one hour test is such a crap shoot. they made me take the 1 hour at 14 weeks and I failed but passed with flying colors the 3 hour. When 28 weeks came along I just opted to do the 3 hour.

do the three hour. it will show normal.
 
Jo the stroller came today!! :) I like it better than Baby Jogger but I cannot compare the two as doubles. I am just comparing some of the features. Its so much easier to adjust the harnesses and the front basket access, plus the adjustable handle! I am happy I went with Britax this time around.
 
Yay for the britax double lol i love mine just cant wait to try it out! Georgia plays in it already!
That sucks about the glucose test. How come u had to have one?

Had the mw today and hes head down and 'a tip' engaged whatever that means! Shes not put anything on my notes under the engaged box which annoyed me. But hey I'll take it as he not been engagedat all so far. Apparently she thinks he'll be just as big as georgia if not bigger :dohh:
 
In the US everyone has a glucose test. You can refuse but in my situation the doctors will refuse to see you or mark that you have it regardless. My dad has type 2 but there is a very good chance he developed it after taking a Rx. They are currently studying a connection between the two. That is my only risk factor.

I passed the one hour test but because doctors are able to pick their own acceptable range apparently he failed me. I now have to take the 3 hour which made me horribly sick with Laila (no choice had to do the 3 hour with her as thats all my midwives requested). I wanted to stick my finger but if I did that he would put down that I have GD even if I never had a single high reading the entire time.

The GD diagnosis deems me high risk [here] so I really want to prove I don't have it. I laughed because he sent me home with info on lifestyle changes and literally I am already doing everything on his little list.

I believe my number was so high because I didn't fast before hand like I was told to do a previous time. It was still in the normal range though it was just 6 points higher than what he wanted it to be.

I am not sure what will happen if I fails the 3 hour or fail based on his standards. He told me I would see a dietitian (which will be pointless because I eat a healthy diet and exercise) and I would get growth ultrasounds and NSTs. I have measured on spot and had no blood pressure issues.
 
if you fail the second one, get a second opinion.

but you are allowed to be high on one of the tests. You officially fail the 3 hour test if you go high on two readings. I was 10 points higher than they wanted me to be on the one hour and I passed the three hour test twice.

I keep reminding myself the one hour test has faults. Im just annoyed. I wish I had fasted I bet it would have been the number he wanted. I was at that number in my first tri when he made me test.
 
Sorry about the glucose test Army!! Don't stress yourself though, it's not worth it. You'll pass the three hour one.

Jo - I had contractions on and off for a week right before I went into proper labour. I started timing them because they were definitely painful but only a 2 or 3 on a scale of 10 (10 being 'oh dear lord get this baby ouuuuttt!!). But then I gave up because I kept thinking it was happening but they didn't get stronger or closer together. Then one night I woke up at 11pm and started having them, I thought 'should I bother timing them?' but decided I might as well since I probably wasn't going to sleep through them. 45 minutes later my waters suddenly broke! I so wasn't expecting it since I had a week of false labour. Then Emily was born just before 2am. So contractions started at 11pm and she was born 3 hours later.

So this could definitely be the start of it!
 
What does Rx mean army?

Hope u pass the second test!
Had the strongest pains yet today really thought something was going on but then nope.. All stopped agan. Hope its leading up to something like u say wilsey! Did ur second labour go a lot faster than the first ? Was it any easier?

Sounds like exactly what I had! It kept starting and stopping over a week (which was super annoying) but then finally decided to actually happen. Much easier labour (you know, as easy as labour can be). First was 12 hours before I had to have an emcs and this was 3 hours, and I did it with no drugs.

Prescription (sorry forget lol)

Ahh I hope it happens soon. Latent labor is such a pain!
 
Prescription for what?! Sounds dodgy!
No pains again today :( still waiting..
Got to go to a wedding tomorrow with georgia which is gonna suck its all day so she will be grumpy if i cant get her to sleep while we're out.. No comfy chairs and on my feet all day.. Sigh..
 
It was a statin (for cholesterol), I don't remember the brand but theres a ton of info out on the risk.

It was a non issue for me until now. For some reason this was no big deal when I was pregnant with my daughter. They even saw it on my file when I moved here and didn't care. For some reason this time around they are making a big deal about it.


I think it was Lipitor but not certain. I don't know what all he's on now.
