lol sorry tink i was just throwing out numbers and not units, i really didnt know what the units of the sugar measurement were, the midwife just called me and started throwing around numbers? I did eat a bagel for breakfast like an hour before i drank the sugary drink, maybe that made it a little high. Although they said eat normally. Its crappy to have to go back there for the long test like that though.

 

[Tinkerbellxxx]

They do it a little differently here, we fast before a GTT. I also don't know how much sugar you had to drink either. But regardless, your result was on the high side for the amount I guess you consumed. x

That reminds me, where is Mommyv? anyone heard from her? x

 

[poppy666]

Hi Ladies,

I've been very busy. I've been to see a specialist about an hour away about my diabetes and it turns out I have type 2 diabetes. I am hoping to stay with my current dr.'s but if my sugars are not well controlled or any other issues come up I will have to see these other dr.'s who specialize in high risk pregnancies. I have my scan on June 29th and I'm hoping all is well because I was just told that because I had diabetes at the time of conception my baby has a higher chance of having birth defects mostly relating to the heart of neural tube but the doctor said not very likely at all of having anything serious. I hope and pray not. I have feeling the lo starting to move now and it's pretty great also blood sugars have been okay so far and bp is still pretty good so I'm hanging in there.

Tink- thanks for messaging me hope that you deliver that little girl in just a few more weeks and that's a great bump you are definately looking full term can't wait to see your little girl

Poppy- congrats on the little girl I am so excited for you and I like the name Savannah better than Serenity

MC- hope that you're okay definately listen to the other ladies on here and rest up it's too early to see that little man btw you have had some great bump pics

Pheobe- can't believe you might be seeing your little one so soon I hope that your induction goes well or maybe you won't even need it I think boy for you as well I'm sure you'll have a name for little one at least before you leave the hospital

PK- I hope that the IVF goes well and that you will get that baby that you and dh are so hoping and praying for

Puppycat- I hope that Laura doesn't get chicken pox thats no fun

China- how are you?

Coral- not too long before you see your little girl I'm sure your csection at 38+weeks will have your baby well developed and healthy can't wait to see all these little baby ding dongs coming so soon

Hopes- You will only be considered to have gd if you fail the 3 hour test which is a fasting also there is a very good chance that the bagel you ate made your bs higher than it would have normally been probably eggs or something with less carbs would have been better I think it is likely you will pass because 150 is not that high for having eaten a bagel then the glucose drink Gl hope that you pass that 3hr test if not it's not too bad you would probably just need a diet adjustment and then be fine after baby is born

To any of you other wonderful ding dong ladies that I have forgotten :wave: hope you are all well

 

[Hopes314]

thanks mommyv! i wish they wouldnt tell me to "eat normally" when it could make me fail the test like that geez, whats the point in that!? I have the 3 hour test scheduled for wednesday (today i guess technically because its like 1am here lol) at 720am, and ive been fasting since like 7pm. I have to call the lab in the morning and make sure the midwife already faxed over the order, because if not I have to reschedule. Will be pissed if I have to go through another day of fasting sometime this week.. grr.

 

[mothercabbage]

@hopes, im loving that baby bump on FB...perfect! xx

they just have you go in and drink a sugary drink with i think 50g glucose and then you go back in an hour and they draw blood and measure your blood glucose. then if they decide thats too high or something, they do a longer one where you fast for 12 hours, then get blood drawn for a baseline, then drink 100g of glucose drink, then get blood drawn every hour for the 3 hours. lameee.

 

[mothercabbage]

sounds crap! ive never been tested for that wonder why....i did ask if i should be tested for it as Connor was a bigger baby, but she said the cut off for testing after a big baby was 9lb 7oz, as connor was 9lb 1oz i didnt get tested

 

[Hopes314]

so unless youve already had a big baby, they dont screen for gd during pregnancies?

 

[mothercabbage]

seems that way, i suppose if you show signs of GD they would test you, but seems its not "normal" to just test everyone...

 

[puppycat]

Morning ladies

Good to 'see' you MommyV

Laura still warm this morning and not eaten her breakfast again but she drank her milk so at least she's getting fluids in.

She cried a few times in the night but settled back to sleep thankfully.

I am absolutely starving marving today! I've had my breakfast but feel like I haven't eaten anything! Meh x

 

[coral11680]

morning MC, Hopes and puppycat

MC yes it seems that the GD test isn't standard here, I think if you show signs like sugar in your urine they test you but not sure? In the states its routine I had it both pregnancies but never had GD.

Good luck today hopes with the test, hopefully you will pass

Mommyv glad to hear from you we have missed you. Good luck with the doc and hopefully LO will be perfect when you have your U/S the end on June I'm sure s/he will. Any ideas on the sex? I think for you?

Not much to report from me other than I woke up dripping with sweat and I even had a fan blowing on me all night. It wasn't that hot either I woke up with about 5 tissues tucked in my vest top where I woke up dripping and shoved them in there!
