The late second tri thread :)

My glucose test with DD was 24 weeks now they pushed their guidelines back to 28 weeks. Mine is scheduled for the 24th

I don't remember when I got the test done with my first pregnancy. But they had more flavors of the drink this time and it wasn't too bad. Not great obviously but with my first pregnancy it only came in this gross orange flavor! This time they had orange, fruit punch, and lemon lime. I chose the lemon lime (at their suggestion) and it wasn't too bad. Hope it goes ok for you girls!!

I had the results back today and they said I don't have GD, but she did say I am severely anemic. So that's a bummer but maybe accounts for why i'm so tired and short of breath all the time!

I have my actual test on the 19th and have this clear fluid... Apparently it's supposed to taste like lemon lime... I'm not convinced.

I had to do both the 1 hour and 3 hour with my first pregnancy. I had orange the first time and lemon lime the second... Both were awful. I had the fruit punch this time... Gross, but much better!

Also, I got a phone call yesterday informing me I was anemic according to blood results and a prescription for 325mg of ferrous sulfate twice daily had been called in for me... Maybe I'll finally perk up a bit!

TMI but anyone getting really tingly nipples?

Also baby is constantly having dance parties in there. I just can lift my shirt and watch my belly twitch and roll as baby moves xxx

Yep! My nipples itch aswell, like crazy. I found some nipple cream, but it's so expensive.. I've just been using normal moisturiser instead.

I had the same thing yesterday, little miss wouldn't stop moving! It felt like she was flipping and all sorts in there. X

Is anyone planning on drinking raspberry leaf tea? If so, when are you starting?

 

[Jaxvipe]

I was just research red raspberry leaf tea yesterday! I will probably start it around 28-30 weeks just a cup a day or every other day and slowly increase it.

 

[Neferet]

Heyyy can I join this thread? I'm 25 weeks preggo...

 

[NennaKay]

Hooray! Double digits today! Only 99 days left!

 

[CRWx]

I was lookin at RLT last night... Think I'm going to try it because it seems to have helped a lot of people during and afterwards, anything to help!

 

[Hotbell312]

I am ordering RLT as we speak. Wish I had started it earlier.

 

[DaisyDreamer]

Oh that reminds me! I probably should order some up here soon, too. Is anyone here hoping to do a natural birth either at home, at a birth center, or in a hospital? Any first-time successes with that in here?

also OH and I finally settled on a name for our yellow bump: Zodi

 

[rebeccalouise]

My bump band came today, really hoping it'll help!

I had a natural birth with my first at the hospital Daisy, I hope it goes how you have planned.

 

[NennaKay]

Just a few more days and I'm making the jump to third tri! It's been fun hanging in second tri, ladies.... Hope to see you in third tri soon!

[Neferet]

Wowza I'll be in the third trimester in 6 days! this has gone quickly!
