Hi ladies I've just done my injection in my tummy an what I want to know is can I get the baby with it? I normally do it in my leg but did it in my tummy an baby started wiggling around the injection site really hope
I didn't get baby

I shouldn't think so. I used to use stomach for my pump set for quite a bit. Think it was towards the end I couldn't use it as my stomach was to hard xx

 

[pinkbump2011]

I was flapping then hoping I hadn't hit baby as I didn't pinch my skin an I was using an 8mm needle :/ think I may be over thinking it

Lol no way! Ur uterus is too thick for a diabetic needle to hit baby plus fluid!

Hi girls
Has anyone tried using an app for an iPhone/ipad to hear the babies heartbeat?
I downloaded babyscope... And I can't hear a thing, but then I'm only 16 wk +5... I wish I hadn't downloaded it now as it's making me paranoid.

 

[pinkbump2011]

I did but as the headphone need to be plugged in where it needs to be placed on ur stomach I found it useless. But I have iPhone 5s not sure if there all the same?

Also had a scan today an they said baby measures approx 2lb14oz is that ok at this stage or to much? X

 

[Nikkilewis14]

2lb is perfect hun!

 

[MissEJ]

Yeah, I had earphones plugged in, I think I'll just leave it for now...

I've got appointment at antenatal/diabetic clinic tomorrow and midwife on Tuesday, so I might just ask for a listen then.

I've noticed my bloods creeping up over night, dropping again by morning, I'd know nothing about it if it wasn't for the cgm, so I will talk to the diabetes team tomorrow.

Does anyone else find the diabetic specialist nurses more helpful with your diabetes than the doctors?

 

[Nikkilewis14]

Here in the usa i only see my doctor once a month and ifi have questions regarding my sugar he calls me right back. Our system is a bit diff then yours so that may be why.

 

[pinkbump2011]

The nurses are a lot better for me that's who we contact if we have a problem I honestly don't know why we need to see the consultant at clinic for it as they only check what the nurses check but if you have a problem you contact the nurse an not the consultant anyway.

An Nikki it's 2lb 14oz so closer to 3lb that was why I wasn't sure if that's normal at this stage x

 

[Nikkilewis14]

Its a bit on the big side but not outrageously big and of course u know its just an estimate!

 

[pinkbump2011]

Yeah they told me Scarlett was over 8lb an she was 7lb exactly when born. But he looks chunky on the scan x

 

[MissEJ]

Pinkbump, is that a new pic you have as your avatar (or whatever they call it)?
It's very clear, I take it that's a 4D scan?

 

[Nikkilewis14]

Cute pic pink!

Had my ultrasound! Morgan is measuring at 8lb 2oz at 36+1. Still loads of amni fluid but she is happy and healthy! Amnio is set for monday morning at 7:30am, then c sec onthe 19th! Single digit countdown now!

Congrats Nikki! Can't believe how close you are, how exciting

I had my MOT at the antenatal clinic today, they're upping my basal at night, other than that it was dull, but dull and normal is good, it's reassuring.

I also got to hear the heartbeat!! 150bpm. Which again she said was normal, phew!

 

[Nikkilewis14]

Glad u had a good appointment!

 

[pinkbump2011]

Yes it's hd was very clear! An good luck Nikki your measuring the same as me at 36 weeks they said 8lb or more an she was smaller. Hope all goes well for your section to. Keep us updated x

 

[Nikkilewis14]

I will def be keeping in touch

Single figures you must be so excited to meet your baby and also get your body back!

Had a scan today she is weighing 1lb3oz so is still on the 13th percentile but they said that is fine as me and OH aren't huge ourselves!

Hope everyone else is doing well x
