Still have a baby on board getting lots of pains just leading to nothing. I had my sweep yesterday I had some bleeding but it hasn't worked. I am in for induction Monday so not to long thank god. How are you hun? X
 
Thanks girls :)

Ive got to go in and see my GP on tuesday so they can discuss a way forward xx
 
Aww fx it will work before Monday. Some sex maybe???

No idea how I am doing!!!!i didn't quite get the baby blues though when I think of my labour I start inconsolable crying :roll:
Same comes when Amelie cries!!! What exactly is all that about??? We have latching problems so we go through hell at every meal.. Every time I try to latch her she screams the house down so I end in tears every time... I must be paranoid at least....

I dorm know how you survived every each LO !!!! I can physically stand it but emotionally I am not doing do good...

Though on the positive side I could never imagine I can love sth so little so much...
 
Hold on there missy! You had her???? Omg where have I been??? Congratulations tell me all ah I'm so happy for you xxxxxx
 
Sorry to hear that Jaxx :( x

Hope - congratulations, well done :) I'm sure you will get there with breastfeeding as well. Have you tried those nipple shields? Worked wonders with my first (and the second one for that matter!) baby.




 
Kayuki - it sure is very overwhelming, I was in tears for at least because of it - it was just such a shock and hard to come to terms with. Thankfully my body is being is so good and I can have a variety of foods xx


 
Amy there is a thread in trimester 3 named waters gone or sth like that. You can read through that, quite a labour thread and a little awful experience but hey she is here...

Thanks hun. Did another reading and its come up 6.5! (i did have a small treat and it has thrown every thing off!!) Im strating to think this gd makes you neurotic as if i go over im feeling like its bad!. :( and ive done somthing wrong! Roll on next week when i see dietician i might feel a bit better. But either way ive laid of the sugar alot since finding out. Xxx
 
6.5 hour after food? That's not bad at all.

My readings have all been so normal, even when I've had treats etc, really making me wonder... Hd ice cream yesterday and reading was 5.9 an hour later. Same with all other foods, around 5.9 or so. And under 5 before food... Strange?!

It was 4 hrs after my tea. Im not testing after a meal yet just before i eat every meal but have a feeling if it keeps being high inbetween meals they will tell me to do it before and after. It 4.7 this morning so alot better hehe. Gonna lay off treats today lol!! :D xxx
 
And you are having snacks in between meals? You should have breakfast, 2 hours later a snack, 2 hours after that lunch, then 2 hours after that another snack etc. I often find when I leave longer gaps my levels spike. xx

I might givevthat a go and see as i did my reading at tea time it was 5.7 and ive had hardly any sugery things to day my lvl at lunch was fime though :) thanks you for your help berit87 you really have helped me out lots :) xxx
 
6.5 and 5.7 are fine though?? What levels were you told to aim for as my DN told me to aim for between 4-7 xx
 
5.5 is what im trying to aim for just done lvls again and its now 5.8 and havent had anything since tea time im starting to get anxious. I know its not much above my target but its still over i really dont know what to do it feels what ever i eat im just gonna spike my blood sugar. :( im not eating crap eating when i feel hungery and being sensible. Roll on fri is all i can say so i can talk to some one :( sorry for rant its just im feeling really frustrated. :-( xxx
 
I honestly wouldnt worry...5.5 is a low target to aim for tbh..im suprised theyve told you to aim to stick to that low.

Anything can change your blood sugars slightly, any exercise, a hot bath, stress anything. You seem to be doing well already so lpease dont worry. Who are you seeing friday? xx
