Thanks, ladies for the reassurance that I'm not crazy and it could be baby movements I'm feeling this early.
Z - I'm a nervous driver too, and I also worry constantly about something happening to me and leaving my kids without a mother. I learned to drive as a teenager, but then lived for 15 years in big cities with no access to a car. When we moved to our current city, we had two babies and I realized I'd have to start driving again. I still avoid the highway like the plague, but I'm generally ok in the city. One of the reasons I'm having trouble deciding about my private scan is that I will have to drive by myself about an hour on 3 different highways to get there!

Thank you so much Auro and Mocha, glad to hear I'm not alone. I think parenthood in general makes those of us who are natural worriers even more anxious!

Hi Ladies.........went for a routine check up on Monday and Dr tells me I passed all the glucose tests fine...except he said my numbers where a little on the high side.....HUH? So now I am being treat as if I have Gestation Diab. as I am to moniter my glucose 7 times a day and he wants my numbers to be under 100 before a meal and under 130 1 hour after. I am so confused as to what the normal range is for this....I have read under 100 before and under 180 after...under 100 before and under 140 after and even under 120 after a meal........What is the normal range for this. And just to point out I don't have Gest. Diab. And so far I have been failing all the after meal test (esp if I really am to stay under 130). I go see the Nutritionist today but I have already tried changing some things in how and what I eat.
I really don't understand why I even have to do this if I passed all the test? Oh and I also get to go weekly now for a non stress test....this I understand as it is a measure they put in place for all women that have lost a baby. The gal told me today though that they will at least coordinate the appt on the same day as I have a dr appt.....so that will save us in gas at least there!
I only have about 8 weeks left...I have not enjoyed being pg at all and now all this too?? Why can't I just enjoy the last few weeks??? I am so stressed out already and now I get more plopped on my plate. UGH I need a vacation for mylife!!!!

Ugh, that doesn't make sense that you have to do that. Sorry I don't have any advice as I have no experience. I don't think they even test here unless there's a specific reason to.

Well after meeting with the nutritionist yesterday....I am what they say is borderline Gest. diabetic. And after looking at all the things I can eat I am really sad about this stupid stuff. I know this is best for the baby but I already am hating being pg and now this.....can we say very depressed about it all. I hate hate hate this.....I am at the point where I don't want to even eat anything on this list...my stomach has not felt good anyway after I eat and now this is just a cherry on the cake.
Sorry I just needed to vent somewhere about all this. Today is not a good day over all this.....pretty sad when you actually cry over the fact you can't eat what you want and enjoy the last few weeks.

I'm sorry, princesssarah - that's awful that you have to deal with this :HH:.

I'm sorry princesssarah, I hope the next few weeks fly by for you so you get to meet your precious little man and eat whatever you want!

I've been crazy busy this week..but I will write to everyone tomorrow! Lots of news on this thread:)
I'm saying goodbye to my hubby for another 2 weeks:( I'm having a pity party right now... I really don't want him to go. He'll be 5 hours away(across the Rocky Mountains) and doesn't come home until I'm 37.3 weeks. Ugh:( I'm hoping my "solo birth" dream is not going to come true.
I'll drop in tomorrow:) xoxo J
