Bad 28 Week Midwife appointment

[x Naomi x]

Oh dear! i think it would be quicker to say what is right with me!

First off i have sugar in my urine, my random blood sugar came back and is high even though i hadnt eaten for 10 hours before!, so i have to go for GTT next week

Baby is now measuring 4 weeks ahead which ties in with the blood sugar results so i have a growth scan and consultant appointment next week,

I am still anaemic, have been on iron tablets since 10 weeks, so have to up the dose on those, my B12 Follate store is also low so i have to have 6 injections in the next two weeks!!

Doctor has signed me off for 4 weeks

Just a little fed up to have all this on top of my SPD and now worried about baby

Sorry you didn't have a great appointment. I'm sure things will be fine with your GTT test. I get the feeling I will have to go for one after my next appointment as I had a trace of glucose in my last wee although I hadn't really eaten/drunk anything sweet before hand.

Good luck at your growth scan, perhaps you are just carrying a lot of fluid instead of a biff baby

when we went for our private scan on sunday, her femur and belly were measuring 3 weeks ahead so was expecting her to measure me as big too

I reckon that just means you've got a healthy baby girl with lovely long legs. Supermodel in the making

Lets hope so - she will take after me then

it really wasn't a good apointment was it, i am sure you will be fine in the long run though.

Enjoy the next few weeks off work, it's very addictive.

It's horrible when this sort of stuff happens, u just want to be told there and then whats happening and if baby is fine...

Firstly either way with what you have said baby WILL be fine. that 3 week thing doesnt nessarily mean she will be a big baby it might do but take that with a pinch of salt...

One thing also is there a reason why you didnt eat for 10 hours prior? Is that what the midwife told you to do?

Try not to worry, u may not ave gestational diabetes...

No but i had it first thing at 845 and wasnt meant to eat for 2 hours before so they counted from when i had eaten the night before x

My father in law is diabetic and has been testing my sugar for me and its 11 two hours after my special k so not looking good, he said normal would be up to 7

Lets hope so - she will take after me then

I thought you were doing community service

The good thing if they are catching any probs is you and bubs wil be watched and monitored properly. Undetected is when it is scary.

Good luck
