I hope the next 8 weeks fly by! I will feel more comfortable delivering after 8 weeks . Ill be exactly 6 months along tomorrow. Feels like I should be further tho.

Is 5 months 20 weeks? In my book what to expect when your expecting says 5 months is 18-22 weeks. But I don't see how.

 

[bluckycharmed]

I just count from the date of my last period. Sept 19. They probably count gestation which is average 2 weeks later.

ya pb its off a bit because they say you are pregnant for 9 months, thats what everyone calls pregnancy - 9 months. BUT you are pregnant for 40 weeks, which is actually 10 months.

So Colt will most likely be here July 26th-27th. My doc is gonna induce me a week before my due date if my cervix is soft and dilated, but if my blood pressure gets to high it will have to be sooner.

 

[Pitbull mommy]

When I'm 24 weeks I got to get tested for gestational diabetes. And she also offered to test me, to see if I'm at risk for pre term labor.

 

[bluckycharmed]

I got tested back at like 16 weeks for GD and did the whole 3 hour GTT... I am going to ask the doc tomorrow if I will be doing another in the third tri bc that seems to be when most people get them done.

 

[Pitbull mommy]

So what all do I do for the test? Drink some nasty stuff And then what?

 

[bluckycharmed]

I didn't think the drink was that bad.... But u get blood drawn every hour for 3 hours.

 

[Pitbull mommy]

So I got to stay at the doctors office for 3 hours?

 

[bluckycharmed]

if you are doing the 3 hr GTT then yes

 

[bluckycharmed]

They normally do a quick in office finger prick test, then if you fail that yet send you somewhere special for the 3 hour test. I failed the first and passed the second.

 

[grace10209]

Im going to ask about this tomorrow. OMG I Can't wait to go tomorrow! ahhhhhhhh

I wonder about diabetes because i get so dizzy - yesterday i worked from home cuz of snow, i ate bowl of cereal and two hrs later my heart was racing, i stood up and i was shaky, sweaty, etc. I chugged some OJ and ate some crackers and then I was fine.?? so wierd.

how are you guys? OMG tomorrow at this time i'll be at my appt! WOOOOOHOOOOOO

 

[bluckycharmed]

Well the verdict is in... cervix is at 1.9 cm, the funneling is worse, and I am now on strict bed rest for 48hours. The doc doesnt even want me sitting upright. He wants me back Friday to have it rechecked, and I am hoping that it is better.

He also did a swab for amniotic fluid, and thankfully it was negative.

Happy 26 weeks to me right? haha. Well on another note, DH and I are house shopping... not sure if we will get one, but we are exploring all the options.

 

[Pitbull mommy]

Yay grace!!! I can't wait to see pictures of baby! my parents have diabetes and when their sugar is high or low their eyes get blurry and they get sweaty and shaky. I really hope I don't get gestational diabetes.

 

[Pitbull mommy]

So if it gets worse will you be on bed rest the rest of your pregnancy?

 

[bluckycharmed]

I guess. I dont really know. Right now I am telling myself that it is just until Friday.. but I guess I will know more then.

 

[grace10209]
