Any updates on Pinkin? I wonder if she's had her baby yet??

[PeonyPrincess]

Mocha you poor love. It does sound like mastitis doesn't it. I hope your mw can help you out and you feel better soon.

Rainbow, Oscar is just adorable!! Thank you so much for introducing us to your precious boy. We've been thinking of you. What an amazing photo too. Your sister has some talent there. Well done on your water birth, it sounds lovely.

Hobber, it is early on Wednesday in Australia, so hopefully we will hear from Pinkin soon. I hope her body was ready for the induction and she hasn't ended up having a c-section.

Well, I talked to my midwife today, and after describing all my symptoms, she thinks I have thrush rather than mastitis, and the fever is due to the flu. I think she's right because my cough and sore throat keep getting worse. She prescribed a cream for my nipples, and if I'm feeling better tomorrow she'll do a vaginal swab to see if I have a yeast infection too. So far no sign of yeast in Sadie's mouth but I have no doubt she'll get thrush too.

Rainbow, so glad you checked in---the picture is amazing!! and I'm really glad you had the birth experience you so desired...he's such a cutie, we were all thinking about you!

Mocha, I hope whatever it is resovles quickly....Lillian's been sick already twice since being home and of course I think that has to do with DS1 just starting preschool and being around other kids. I've had a sore throat for two weeks and it's just now getting better, thank God!

Oh Mocha I am so sorry! Baby #2 and I both had it. Hard to get rid of. Hope it gets better soon!

[Hobbermittens]

Pinkin? Have you had your baby yet?

[fivebabies]

Pinkin, check in with us !

So I failed my 3 hr glucose test. Anyone else failed before? Going to the next gestational diabetes class. Really sad about it.

[Mochagirl]

So sorry, fivebabies. I've never failed before, but I hope someone has advice for you!

Sorry to hear that fivebabies. A few of my friends have had it and needed to check their blood sugar levels regularly, but were just able to control it with diet. I gather that some women need insulin, but most are ok with diet adjustments. And after the baby is born, they keep a closer eye on the bubs sugar levels for a while. All are now thriving, robust children, so all good in the end. And don't feel like you did something wrong, as any of us could have had it.

[Hobbermittens]

Bummer, fivebabies! I hope the treatment of the gestational diabetes isn't too difficult.
