February 2018 Mummies - the final hurdle

[Wednesday]

GTT and 28w blood done.

My poor arms.

X

Ohhh ouch!

I have my 28w appt on Friday and she did say she would be taking blood... Urgh

 

[TORino]

I had mine today too.

I got told off for putting too much weight on

 

[CARNAT22]

Did you get weighed TOR?

What a bloody cheek. Why comment on ones weight?

Yeah I think bloods are standard at 28w. Should be last lot though. Woo hoo.

 

[TORino]

Yeah. I’ve put 11kg on. I knew I would have. I get weighed every appointment

If I put on less than 4stone I’ll consider that a success hahaha.

 

[Wednesday]

Oh I hope I dont get weighed!

 

[JustTrying]

I've put on 2 stone! Feel frumpy as he'll but that won't stop me from eating anything I want!

 

[TORino]

She sort of said to me.. erm you’ve already gained what we recommend to gain by the end of pregnancy I was like what do you want me to do about it? I have a bad back and pelvis so I can’t exercise or I end up crippled in agony and it’s making me miserable. I’m dealing with it by eating biscuits

i know with pregnancy, it can be anything but usually its a sign of either dehydration or a lack of salt.

I personally would lean towards dehydration.

So glad you are not allowing it/them to get to you!

Theres so much to look forward to, who cares about a little extra weight . I know I bang on about it but trust me, its not more important than having the baby in my arms.

Im eating biscuits with coffee right now!

 

[Wednesday]

I had a McDonalds bacon roll this morning, so Im clearly not bothered about weight gain haha

 

[TORino]

Scan for me Friday..the first of many to check growth because of this low pappA thing!

Considering midwife has measured me 3 weeks ahead I’m not too concerned �� though that could be the food baby I’m also carrying!

 

[CARNAT22]

I don't get another scan this time!

My hospital offered 3 as standard (last one is a growth scan between 36w-38w) but they have stopped that now?

Have no toilet facilities at my office - the whole block is out. Has been like this for 24h now. We are having to pop to the local pubs / cafes to use the loo.

Have an interview at 3pm so can't even work from home. I have a weak bladder at the best of times

[JustTrying]

still cant believe we are in the third trimester.

Thank goodness. Cant wait. All I think about is having the baby in my arms and kissing him loads. Even get emotional at the thought of it lol

 

[Wednesday]

Carnat thats awful! Hope they fix it!!

Just trying - I cant wait either! Ive got the added surprise of not knowing the gender either so its even more wondering and guessing!

 

[Crinkles90]

Carnat hope the toilet situ is sorted now!!

Justtrying I'm the same.. the thoughts made me teary a few times.

Just dipping my toe in a couple days early... I'm officially here on Sunday... its DH birthday today and then my daughters b'day next friday that means cake!! never been in love with cake the way I am at the moment! preferably chocolate cake!

 

[TORino]

Well.

I have to have a gtt.

My baby is off the charts. 3lb 5oz at 28+1 >95% on all measurements.

 

[CARNAT22]

Have you had a GTT before TOR?

It's not too bad.

Welcome Crinkles, Tri 3 - things just got real

[CARNAT22]

Ps yep toilets are fixed lol

[TORino]

Nope, no gtt!

How long do you have to wait for results? I’m worried I have diabetes now!
