Thanks ladies, woke up a few times in the night, hearing babies crying on maternity ward, needing the loo and just being uncomfortable, other than that, baby seems ok, had hiccups this morning. Just gotta wait to see the dr, go for my scan etc.

And we have 12 suprises too look forward to A couple of people think girl based on the nub theory but I think it's a wee boy. Pretty sure I saw a ball sack on 20 week scan but obviously I won't know until they make their debut xx

Thanks ladies, just waiting for the dr to come round and tell me what time my scan is.

After a night in hospital I woke this morning and had my bp checked followed by the dr coming round at about 10:30 to tell me they wanted to do a scan, he had a poke around of my belly and said baby feels large for its gestational age. I called Mikey to get to the hospital for the scan but was sent down immediately so unfortunately he missed the scan, baby is doing really well, showing breathing movements, has a strong heart beat and generally seems quite comfortable, but baby's measurements are a little "off" the femur length is showing at 33w+6 which is spot on but the head circumstance and abdominal measurements are showing between 39 and 41w. I was sent back to the ward to await the results, they want to scan me again in 2 weeks but in the meantime I've had more bloods taken to check the waters in my uterus are not causin the growth and I've been booked in to be checked for gestational diabetes, I then had to have a further blood test done to ensure that the bleed caused by my internal exam has not made baby's blood mix with mine (luckily this came back negative and I don't need to have another anti-d today) so i'm finally home.

30/7/12 - Today I have my glucose tolerance test (GTT) to check for gestational diabetes, which means I have been on a starve day from midnight last night. My appointment was at 9, when we got there we were told it is a 2 hour test and that I could only drink water and could not eat for the duration. Firstly I had bloods taken, then I had to drink 500ml of Lucozade Original as quickly as possible, then one hour later I had another vile of blood taken, and then another 1 hour after that, we were told that we would get a call tomorrow if the results show any concern what so ever.
31/7/12 – I had a really bad night sleep last night worried about what the results would be, I ended up that worried I gave myself a bad belly, I decided to go out with my mom for the day to keep myself occupied and this worked, by 1:30pm I still had not received a call, so I called the hospital (just to make sure) an they assured me I would get a call if there was any concerns and they are unable to give results. It is now 10pm and I have not had a call from the hospital at all which is great news, I do not have gestational diabetes! (Just a big baby) oh and the odd chest tightening and back pain since I have been home.

Glad to hear all is ok hun how worrying it must have been for you x x

 

[Tara1985]

Glad you are ok hon. So stressful, I wouldn't have been able to sleep either but good to hear you and bubs are healthy.

Have you had your 34 week appointment yet? I have mine tomorrow, suppose to bring my birth plan. Don't know what I want anymore...feeling so overwhelmed!!!

xx

The community midwife came out last week and we did my birthplan - wanted a water birth etc but don't think I'll be able to as try may class me as high risk if I go over 37 weeks due to baby's size and you can't have a water birth before then. My 34w midwife appointment should have been on Monday but due to being at hospital I missed it, so I'm going next Monday instead, get to have my belly measured and see where baby's head is lol. I think since friday e/she has started to drop though. Don't think baby will be a september bundle after all!!!

 

[Sunbeam638]

Glad to hear things are better Well if it comes early sounds like it will be a healthy size fx all well from here on in x

 

[Sproglett]

Thanks hunny x x

 

[Tara1985]

Don't think baby will be a september bundle after all!!!

We are going to be mummy's soon Sorry to hear you might not get the birth you planned hon but just as long as LO arrives safe and sound that is all we can pray for. Glad you are ok too.

My 34 week appointment was not what I expected! Was referred to a consultant a couple months back due to my breathing. Had that appointment the same day the 34 week one with the GP was scheduled. I didn't realise I didn't have to go to both, they were just booked on the same day.

Anyway, the consultant said breathing was fine and signed me off as low risk but to my suprise whipped out the scanning machine baby hardly fitted on the screen!! Big head and all looking good. So he said since he checked everything I don't need to see my GP. So I ignored him arrived for my appointment for the GP to say I don't need to see you I know I should have listened to the consultant but they gave me these appointments and thought I would be discussing my birth plan as per the advice in my record book
