Yay, dloui!....I haven't been in for 4 weeks! I'm actually eager to go in this week. So fun you get an u/s. Please post pics of the cutie when you do!

Thanks I will definitely post pics, I go November 5th.

Have you gotten the results of your sugar test yet?

Sigh. According to my most recent blood test I am anemic which is why I've been too tired to function for the last few months. The doctor put me on iron pills and hopefully I'll feel better sometime soon. How long have we all been pregnant now? About 17 years?

lol yes I think 17yrs is about right. I take ferralet I think its called since I am anemic also, the only complaint I have is it gives me heartburn. Hopefully the iron will make you feel better

Can't wait to see pics from your scan
In regards to the epi I am going to try the natural route but if I need the epi I am going to ask for it, I'm not gonna stress about it

I just found out that I failed my 3 hr glucose test. I'm really sad about it. I know I couldn't have done anything to avoid it but it still sucks. I have my Dr appt tomorrow morning so I'll hear my #s then and find more out. I am already scheduled to take the gestaional diatbetes class at the hospital. I feel like a failure, not sure why, logically I understand it but my emotions are all over the place.

I hope you pass sweetsister!

I'm sorry fivebabies, you are definitely not a failure though

[Yuzu]

You're not a failure, Fivebabies! When you don't pass the three hour test I think they'll try to control it with diet first, and then with a pill. You probably won't have to take a shot.

[ladybug]

five----your not a failure!!! This is the 3rd time I have had gestational diabetes...It sucks!...They will meet with you and explain what you should be eating and will try diet control first....If the change in diet doesnt help then they will look at started meds or insulin....I'm not going to lie, the diet sucks...its very restictive....I do still cheat 1 meal a week....Dont blame yourself....you cant control the way your placenta functions in pregnancy....Chin up!
