21+5 here and shattered. Two afternoon naps on the sofa this weekend after a craft fair yesterday and taking part in three flash mobs today (as you do!!!)

jomosh · 03 Feb 2011

good luck today vickilou!

vickilou · 05 Oct 2011

Hi all,
The GTT wasn't as bad as i thought. It tasted like a very sugary cheap orange juice. Worst part was having to sit for 2 hours, couldnt walk around as it can burn the glucose off !!

Jomosh have u finished work yet ? , enjoy your GTT, hehe
littlemrsc - i love my afternoon naps, seeing as i don't get much sleep at night
sallyally - glad your feeling great, blooming as my midwife says.
livinginhope - glad all is well and no infection

Take care x x

littlemrsc · 06 May 2011

Vicki, glad the GTT wasn't as bad as you had expected (apart from the enforced resting for two hours!)

I made it through the whole day today without a nap, which has got to be a good thing as my blood test results came back and I'll be back at work on Wednesday (tomorrow is my day off!!) as my blood tests for Slapped Cheek came back clear - I'm immune and haven't been infected recently *phew*

vickilou · 05 Oct 2011

Been to the midwife today and had my GTT blood test results back and they are border line. Apparently my pre GTT bloods were excellent but post GTT bloods were slightly over the norm !! , so the consultant has requested to see me next week, to plan my antenatal care, more scans and bloods etc. My midwife said not to worry, its a precaution. I was upset at first but at least baby will be getting extra attention. Also baby is transverse and back to back so the mw said if it hasnt moved by my next appointment with her then they will refer me for another scan, so i dont know if im coming or going at the minute.

Hope everyone else is ok ??

Littlemrsc - yay you've managed not to have a nap ! but dont feel guilty, i certainly dont. good news on the slapped cheek results.

xx

littlemrsc · 06 May 2011

Vicki, hopefully the next lot of tests will be normal again..... But more scans = more chances to see your LO....

vickilou · 05 Oct 2011

Thanks littlemrsc, exactly what i think , will be pleased to see the little monkey more often.

livinginhope · 23 Sep 2011

Hope everyone has had a good weekend and is doing ok
Afm been ill over weekend with sickness bug but feeling ok now thank god And baby happily kicking away

Sallyally · 02 Nov 2011

Hi - all well here. Baby constantly moving which s fab ( but of ourse makes me worry when I don't feel him for a cople of hours!)

We've got a 3 d scan on Saturday which I can't wait for but I'm trying not to wish away my Easter holidays!

I had to give myself a talking to ths morning - felt depressed when I looked in the mirror as clothes not fitting right ( I've always had a bit of a thing about my weight) anyway feeling fine now - I'm so happy to be preggers. X trying not to wish away he pregnancy but just so can't wait until July. I wish I could time travel until then have him for a couple of days and ten pop him back in Smile

Also started to think about what we need - eek

Have a lovely week everyone

vickilou · 05 Oct 2011

Morning all - didn't want us missing off the 1st page.

sallyally - 1 more day to go and you get to see him, exciting !! I've also been looking at what i need, so this weekend i have made it my mission whilst DH is decorating im going shopping.

living in hope- how u feeling now ?, glad baby has been active though.

littlemrsc - how are you feeling ?

Jomosh- Have you had your GTT yet ?

AFM - i've had a nice week off work, not looking forward to going back on Monday. On the plus side only 5 and a half weeks left at work. Smile

Got my 1st anti natal class on Tuesday not sure quite what to expect, probably scare my DH a bit more. Had my review with the consultant yesterday re my GTT, which was a waste of time, told to reduce sugar intake and they would see me in 4 weeks, but they aren't doing anymore blood tests as they are satisfied with my previous results........ all that worry for nothing

Have a nice easter weekend. x

Sallyally · 02 Nov 2011

Hi all

25 weeks today Smile

Unfortunately dh has been asked to work tomorrow and as he's self employed and he can charge 2.5x rate we have rescheduled 3d scan until next Saturday. I'm a bit disappointed tbh but trying not to be irrational which isn't easy with all these extra hormones! Also I have secretly looked into it and may get better pictures at 26 weeks but not letting him off that easy I'm enjoying him earning his brownie points:) we went out for a lovely meal last night and he's made breakfast this morning. Smile

I think I've hit the finding it difficult to sleep mode. I'm usually ok dropping off when I go to bed but then wake around 3 needing a wee ( despite reducing what I drink from tea time onwards). I then lay there debating whether to go or not but always end up doing. This wakes you know who up ( baby slack) and then I have an hour + of being kicked in the guts. Don't get me wrong I love the feeling but I would love it even more little one if it was in daylight. Hey oh the joys - and its only going to get worse Smile

Happy Easter everyone

Hope everyone is doing ok
Had my 25 week midwife appointment everything fine baby doing well heard heartbeat just love that sound I'm doing ok just tired all the time got my gtt on 4th of may not looking forward to that also gotta have my anti d injection on same day

vickilou · 05 Oct 2011

Hi everyone,

Good luck for your scan tomorrow Sally, you will be able to see so much detail of your little baby. cant remember, do you know if its a boy or girl ?

Livinginhope - i love hearing the heartbeat, im thinking of hiring a doppler to hear it myself, but think i would get a little obsessed. GTT isn't that bad, its the sitting and waiting thats boring.

Hope everyone else and their bumps are doing well.

Went to my 1st anti-natal class,it was quite interesting. But 2 hours of labour talk almost scared my hubby to death. Dont know how he'll cope in the real thing. Next weeks class is on coping with a new baby,and all the baby talk makes it feel soooo real now.

Sallyally · 02 Nov 2011

Hi

Scan was amazing - he's definitely a boy!

He was awkward at first so ended up with nearly 20 mins of video ( only paid for 5-10) and tonnes of pics as they also used me as a guinea pig for a new scanner as well.

Can't wait to meet him properly now

littlemrsc · 06 May 2011

Sally, sounds like your scan was very successful. I had my 25 week check this week and all seems well. I still haven't told my class - or the parents at school - yet. I had a very strange look from one patents this week though, so I may have to go public soon. I can't bear the thought of being the topic of school gate gossip, and it will mean I have more clothes to choose from.... Only a few of my tops hide my 40" waistline, and even then they're not invisibility cloaks!

livinginhope · 23 Sep 2011

Hope everyone is doing ok and enjoying being pregnant
Afm ended up in hospital yesterday afternoon in agony bend over double at work got ambulance out for me 3hours in a & e 2 hours in central delievery bloods urine and internal everything ok doctor thinks it's just muscular on monitor for half an hour as stomach kept tighten so at one point they were worried I was having contractions but it stopped after an hour thankfully

littlemrsc · 06 May 2011

Livinginhope - how scary! Glad so see that you are Ok now though...

littlemrsc · 06 May 2011

*bump*

vickilou · 05 Oct 2011

Hope everyone and their bumps are ok ?

Sally- good news about your scan and glad HE is definitely a boy (hehe) Have you decided on a name for your little boy ?

littlemrsc -I think some people don't like to ask incase they offend you. I managed to get to 30 weeks at work without everyone knowing, i wasn't trying to hide it, my uniform isn't very flattering and hung over bump. Im now 32 wks and there is no way i can hide this bump !!

livinginhope - how scary for you ! glad all is well with u and baby now. Have you taken some time off work?

I ended up in hospital last week too. I went faint, had palpitations and high BP, my GP sent me straight to pregnancy assessment unit and they monitored me for 6 hrs, they sent me home and signed me off for 10 days, turns out i had a urine infection. after a weeks worth of antibiotics i now feel much better.

Has anyone thought about when they are going to pack their hospital bag and what they are putting in it?

x

Sallyally · 02 Nov 2011

Yes he's definately a boy - just like his daddy - no shame in that department!

I'm fine - 28 weeks today Smile

although time does seem to have slowed down again! I can't believe there's only 12 weeks to go but on the other hand it seems ages away - does anyone feel the same?

Hope everyone else is ok and hanging in there

Sending Friday hugs

Xxxx

Hi ladies! Can I join you please? Have posted on the August thread as well as not sure which one I fit into. Official due date is August but i'll be induced at 37 weeks which will be July. I'm 24 weeks pregnant with twins (pink and blue) and have been watching this thread for a while. I think I haven't posted before as I've been worried about something going wrong with my pregnancy. I've had quite a few complications including 3 hospital admittions, but I know I need to start to have faith that I'm going to be a mum. How are you all getting on with your pregnancies? Have you done much preparation yet?
