It was 205, which is insane, but I had just eaten literally 5 minutes before. I took it after an hour and it was 140, better, but not great. I'll take a fasting in the morning and hopefully it will be down to 100.Quote:

Yeah, basically you are done! Were you tested for diabetes anytime recently before your bfp? It is possible but a little early for GDM. Think you could have had DM before your bfp?
I wasn't tested, but I suspect I had pre-diabetes. I just don't want to face it! Diabetes runs in my family though. Sigh. I hope I can just control my diet and ramp up my exercise a bit because I just don't want to have to take medication. Makes me feel so old!:rolleyes:Quote:

Ladybug~ Mine is the same way! By 11/noon I am totally sick tand spend alot of time laying down (seems to help) then goes away just before bed or sometime after I fall asleep. Booo. Hope you feel better soon!
I had my first appointment on Friday and got to see our little bean. Sitting perfectly in position, with a nice strong HB of 162! Was such a relief. Feeling quite good and relaxed now. I have my nt scan in 2 weeks. Can't wait!
On the topic of finding out, I didn't find out with our other two, but when DS2 was born, I did have a brief moment when they told me it was a boy when I thought 'I wish it was a girl'. It was only for 5 seconds, but I still feel guilty about having that thought in the moments after my precious baby was born. I want that out of the way before this one comes. It annoying, but I would like a surprise if it's a girl, but to know in advance if it's a boy. So going to find out this time. dH has wanted to know in advance every time, so no arguments from him about knowing!
How was everyones mothers day?
Mine went ok I had my parents and my in laws over, all they kept talking about was how this baby has got to be a boy and it would be so nice to have a boy blah blah blah WTF they were giving me anxiety since I think it will end up being a girl
Ugh, goota love family. So sorry dloui! That stinks.
Our was quiet. My MIL (awful woman) was out of town and my mom came over for dessert. :)
This pregnancy stuff is a SLOW business. Tired of it already.
I feel your pain dloui128, my instinct tells me one day a girl-since i had pretty strong sway, another day a boy cause i just can't imagine to have a girl after two boys. I decide to do a bleach gender test and baking test on sunday, and got so upset cause bleach test came out -boy, baking test- girl. I am going to have my first u/s tomorrow to finally see the baby, i hope it is going to be a girl. We have only boys in our family and my mother in law keep telling me how we need a girl, no one knows yet that i am prego, except my DH. I want to keep it to myself cause i am not ready for any comments from anybody. I wish all our gender dreams will come true this year........................
@Fivebabies--my MIL is an awful woman too. I'm so happy she doesn't come to my house frequently anymore!
Mother's Day was actually pretty boring for me. Today I set up the wading pool for DS3 and he got a real kick out of pouring water all over himself and getting really wet. DH comes home tomorrow from offshore. Yeah for that!
So I think I am crazy. Went for our FTS today. Was really happy to see the little person moving all around. Got my test results - for Trisomy 13/18 the risk was really low 1 in 6, 681 compared to my age risk of 1 in 335. The DS risk was 1 in 766 compared to my age risk of 1 in 199. I should be super happy but instead I am feeling worried. I know I should not be worried - 1 in 766 is good - a 765/766 chance baby is fine. I went in thinking that if the risk was greater than 1 in 500, I would do the CVS. I guess this just feels "borderline" to me but I know it is not!! Arrghh. I guess I have just seen so many women older than me come back like 1 in 5000 or 1 in 10,000 that it seems low.
The genetics counsellor brought up the MaterniT21 test. At the time, I wasn't even thinking about it. I just left her a message. Seems like my insurance will cover it so I am going to do it. The risk seems too low to do CVS but I don't want to be worried over nothing.
This is SO weird to me - my thinking. I mean I have 2 babies already - this was my first EVER ultrasound. I had no tests, had my babies at home. It is like I somehow went over some magical age limit and suddenly worried. I know deep down it probably has a lot to do with GD. I have just been waiting so long for this baby and did so much to get here.
Awe, Hun...Don't be worried! That all sounds great! You really have nothing to be worried about. But I do see why you are since you've never had any tests done ever. You're baby is going to be fine. :)
I went to the Dr today and they want to see me in a week to make sure my bleeding issue is healing up so I'll have another u/s and I'm hoping to get a good nub shot to obsess over!!! I will be 12w4d. I know that later is better but I couldn't push it any further.
So i booked my gender scan today.....its not until July 16.....that is the earliest I could get in, they are really backed up....My city is a young town and everyone is pregnant...lol....
Does anybody know what is the full term for twins, i really want to have them in December. My normal due date would be on December 16. I will have my next u/s in 3 weeks, hopefully i will get a good nubs pictures of babies, dying to find out the gender.
Most twins come (or need to be delivered) sometime between 32-36wks, but I was told 37wks is classed as full term. At least that was the case in the UK were my twins were born. My OB took them out via c-section at 37w1d and 37wks was the earliest he would consider (unless my BP started going through the roof again). My boys measured well over 7lbs (though they were actually just under 7lbs each when delivered). I think because my DH is so tall and their limbs were so long it threw the ultrasound measurements off!
Wait, Pearl...Did we know you were having twins??? I must've missed that. C0ngrats!!!!
No, fivebabies, just found out yesterday that i am pg with two!!!! But i had a very vivid dream twice about twins:) still hard to believe that it is twins.
Wow!!! That's amazing! So exciting. :) How many kids do you have?
so excited for you pearl :)
Hey, pearl! How are you feeling about twins? I am getting used to the idea but still shocked! My doc said you shoot for your due date, but on average they come at 36 weeks! I really want to make it as long as I can too!
Very exciting! More twins!!
dloui - yes, 37 weeks is full term. Many twins are born before that. However, I have also known a lot of women who delivered right on time or even late with twins so you never know. In a healthy pregnancy where all is well, there is no reason they have to take them out early, it is just that many women go into labor a little early.
Congrats pearl, very exciting! More twin joy for the group :)
Amari, it was VERY shocking for me, but i am getting used to idea being mom of 4 kids:) I also have two boys, hoping for two girls this time:) I really want to have them at least at 38 weeks, which would be December 1. Also, i have a strong food aversion and bad nausea after 5pm. Just got myself zofran meds, I am really hoping it will work. And my twins are fraternal, i will have my next u/s on June 5 hoping for good nubs shot, can't wait to find out the gender:) What about you, when is your next u/s? How do you feel?
Mine next u/s is June 6, but we're not finding out the gender so I don't want to look at that area! I am pretty sick, I eat all day long and take zofran, but my insurance is being stingy and only will give me 12 a month and I just picked up an rx for reglan which I know doesn't work for me. hopefully they will dish out some more zofran soon. my neighbor finished chemo and gave me the rest of her zofran! so nice of her!
we'll have to help each other out!
You twin ladies are fortunate in that you have two shots for your DG. You're also very brave. My first appointment is tomorrow and if I found out I was having twins I think I might freak out! I know DH would.:rofl:
edited to add: I do wonder why I'm so fat, though. Seriously I can't fit into any clothes except things with elastic waistbands. Not a good look for me.
In my case, i do not really have any cravings or appetite- very strong smell and food aversions to a lots of my favorite things :( I am almost 10 weeks along and my stomach almost flat, but my boobs are HUGE 1 1/2 size up. I did gain 4 pound since my conception. I am not planning to gain a lot of weight cause i am 5"2 112 pounds now, small frame for twins. But i am hoping to have them after 38 weeks :) I feel great in the morning, but after 5 i have bad nausea almost every day, sleep helps a lot.
Yuzu good luck tomorrow !!! I hope you get to see what you want:)))
So my first visit to the doctor was today and it was....uh, strange. The nurse kept 'teasing' me about my age. But that doesn't matter. I thought I was going to have an ultrasound and I was really disappointed when they told me that I wouldn't have one until Tuesday. The same nurse who was teasing me brought in a handheld ultrasound machine and showed me the baby! She said she wasn't supposed to let me take a picture, but she let me anyway. The baby was extremely active, bouncing around everywhere. Too cute! Here's the pic:

Okay, that tiny ball is the baby!:giggle:
So happy everything is good with the baby Yuzu:)
So I'm getting another cold ugh, so far this pregnancy has not been very good to me, I hope it gets better :(
Cute "tiny ball" Yuzu! LOl. So fun to see them at any stage, huh? :)
So sorry you're getting sick dloui! That's the pits!
So when I told my wreched MIL that we might not find out the gender she thought that was the dumbest thing she ever heard...so I told her last night that we were going to find out the gender but keep it a surprise for everyone else...she was livid! Hahahaha.
Anyone else ever found out and not told anyone???
Fivebabies- I have found out the gender with all 3 of my kids and never told anyone other than my mom and husband. I just told everyone we didn't know. It wasn't hard for me because I didn't want to hear comments like, another boy etc.
I have my appt May 18 at 16.5 wks. I live far away from my family but will be with them 10 days from 18-19 weeks. They keep asking me when I can find out and my answer has been "they can tell on the 20 wk us" which would be after I get home. I have not told them about the other us. They are all going to be really dissapointed if it is a boy. I would rather not see their faces when I tell them. Even though it will be hard to not say anything I will keep quiet and tell them by phone after the 20wk us. Of course, if it is a girl I will suprise them when I get there. I am finding it hard to even hope for a girl. Sometimes I thinki wil be ok other times no...
I had thought about telling people we don't know but DH can't and won't lie. So its tell them we are keeping it to ourselves or not finding out...don't think I could do that.
If I found out I don't think there is anyway I could keep it a secret, especially if it was a :DS:
Has anyone really started telling people? We just told our church and teachers and stuff this week as I am 12 wks now. Everyone is really excited as I havent had a baby in 5 yrs. What kills me though is how pervasive the gender thing is. Almost every single person has made a comment like "ooo.. I'll be praying for a girl." I know they mean well but I can't help thinking, "great, another person whose going to be dissapointed."
NeedAGirl!, that was the thing that got me the most before I found out was the heavy expectation that I had to have that girl. It was what worried me the most actually--my mom only has one granddaughter (she'll have 2 when this one is born) and 12 grandsons. I didn't want to add *another* grandson. I wanted my child to be loved for whoever they were.
Then once i found out I was having a girl, she was thrilled for me, but now it's just normal, and everyone's over it already. They were like "yeah a girl" and now it's just old news, lol.
Don't worry about what others think. I know that is much easier said than done, of course :)
Hi ladies. I hope your all well. I've been reading but holding out posting until I have my first scan on Wednesday. I'm 8+1 weeks now and feeling symptoms so please god there will be a healthy little baby there on Wednesday.
I think I'm going to do an 'Atomic' ;) and not tell anyone until I have confirmed the gender. I just know all I will hear is 'oh maybe this will be your girl' etc. and I just don't want to hear it until I have had time to deal with it if it is another ds.
Although my tummy might be a give away as it is HUGE already!!! :0
I hope you are all doing well. I will pop back in after Wednesday with good news please god. Xx
Hi all. I just came back from an ultrasound. They gave me a transvaginal and an abdominal, so basically I am sticky all over the lower half of my body.:rofl:
Anyway, the baby is doing well and measuring at 11 weeks, 2 days. Very active little baby...totally leaping around and turning flips. The ultrasound tech was SO nice, oh my gosh. She said she could see nothing between the legs (of course, it's too early), but she didn't mind if I asked questions about gender. The placenta is forming on the left side and according to the Ramzi theory that means girl, right? Oh, that would be so awesome! I'm not going to get my hopes up yet, but I'm feeling pretty good.
Oh, and they changed my due date by a couple of days. It's now December 10 instead of December 14. I get to change my siggy!
