House of blue- so sad to hear that! hoping baby a stays healthy and strong!

Nacire & jellybean- congrats!

Geek mama- that’s so cute!! I have been thinking about taking my boys to see a songram but I think I’ll wait till the 12 week one. I wish I could wait to find out the gender but I’m far too impatient.

We had an 8 week ultrasound and baby is measuring perfect with a very strong heartbeat of 190 bpm- is that too much? Doc said it’s perfect but seemed high to me. While I was there the doctor schedule my NIPT test for when I’m 10 weeks! I can’t believe I’ll be finding out the gender so soon! Is anyone doing gender reveal? Any ideas?

190 is just fine! Babies heart rates tend to drop the closer they get to term. Babies are all sympathetic nervous system this early on, so their heart rates tend to be quite high (I’m an OB nurse, haha).

GeekMama, I’m so happy for you that everything looks good on your skin yesterday! What a huge relief! What a sweet little 5 year old!

MLKA, Congratulations on a great scan to you too! Was that the first time your 14-year-old was aware of the pregnancy? How exciting for your family! Your suptoms sound just like mine

I think I’m going to have gestational diabetes again with this pregnancy. I’m only 9 weeks, but I had a dental apt this morning that took a while, and by the time it was over I’d gone past when I usually eat lunch and I felt really weak and my hands were shaking and my thoughts were a bit fuzzy. I went to the first food place I saw and I ordered a sample platter to share with my little one because I couldn’t concentrate on what to order and figured it’d be a good variety. When I paid, my hands were shaking so bad I was embarrassed. She probably thought I was coming down from
Something or something. Luckily the platter was delicious. I recognize exactly what happened from my past pregnancy though. I was having a hypoglycemic episode. Which means I probably am already having blood sugar issues. I’ll do a one hour fasting glucose test Monday..... I hate the strict diabetic diet, which will be even harder with nausea

And then my partner whose an OB/gyn made me feel awful by warning me that panicle blood sugars can cause miscarriage, not that I wasn’t feeling awful about it already

Well done u on spotting the signs. Hopefully your results on Monday will be really positive.
How lucky are u to have an ob/gyn for husband! Mine faints at the sight of needles!
What are Panicle blood sugars?

Oops, it’s a typo, I think I was putting Labile, and siri changed it lol

[Greydore]

Ellirosanne better to have it checked now than wait! It’s 2 am here and I’m starving, I could definitely go for a food platter right now, lol. So nice to meet another OB nurse!!

Ladies, I have the winter vomiting bug (norovirus) since last night. Vomiting and diarrhoea (sorry tmi) I cannot keep water down and tummy cramps are rotten. Any advice or magic tips for me to survive?
