Hello! Hope you're all doing well. I'm almost 32 weeks - everything is OK as far as I know, but I'm thinking about booking a private scan just for a bit of reassurance (and because I believe it's standard practice in most other European countries). Does anyone have any info about the best time to book a scan during the third trimester? Thanks!

Waitingonasmile · 10/11/2017 19:55

Oh goodness @Hotpinkangel19 ! That's hard going. I don't know how you are managing with 3 and working with young children. 

@rememberpurpleronnie a wheelchair thats awful!!!! I think I should stop my moaning now because I'm not that bad lol.

Hi @Eskoala !

@ElleMcElle I would say the sooner the better if you are already 32 weeks. I had a growth scan at 31 weeks and I didn't really see much that resembled a human. At one point we saw lips but sonographer said baby's head was too deep in pelvis to get a photo and nothing else looked like a baby lol.

katmarie · 10/11/2017 20:16

Hi and welcome @Eskoala !!!

I thought I should add a bump pic so here’s mine, 30 + 2, and the midwife thinks baby is going to be about 8 pounds :)

January babies #6 - waddling in to the 3rd trimester!
ForumUsername · 10/11/2017 20:42

So I had a GTT today and the middle blood was high so I’ve gestational Diabetes 😩

I’ve been reading loads and will meet with a dietician next week
I know it’s manageable and it’s only a few months but I feel fairly shit TBH
Can’t help feel like it’s something I’ve done or am failing the baby somehow

My weight is within normal ranges, I eat well
I do have something sweet everyday though
I probably should of been exercising more....

Baby is measuring 2 weeks ahead and estimated weight today (30 weeks) is 4 pounds 6 ounces

Usernamegone · 11/11/2017 04:50

Can’t sleep and have horrendous heartburn 😥

millsbynight · 11/11/2017 05:49

@Usernamegone can’t sleep, horrendous insomnia 😫 Sending you hugs in solidarity on this early Saturday morning x

@ForumUsername sorry to hear about your GD. Don’t feel like it’s your fault - my best friend is super fit and really thin and she got GB in her second pregnancy. It was totally random and out of the blue!!

Gorgeous bump pics @katmarie @AmandaP86x and @SJ1989 😍

Managed to get an hours sleep. Hope it isn’t like this for the next 9 weeks Shock

ziggzagg · 11/11/2017 08:07

@ForumUsername Sorry to hear about your GD I was diagnosed at 16 weeks! There’s nothing you have done wrong, just one of those things that happens sometimes! It’s a bit of a pain but at least it’s not too long till Baby arrives!

I’m actually sleeping better the last few days but waking up really early and being knackered by 7pm is helping Grin

FirsttimemumJan18 · 12/11/2017 03:56

Hi Ladies

Okay to pop into this thread? I’m 31.2 Weeks and like clock work I’m WIDE awake most nights between 2.30am - 5am hence me being on here now! My partner and I are expecting our 1st little girl (A very much wanted IVF baby) in Jan, original EDD 12 Jan but a consultant said due to my age (42) they will induce me a week early so any time from 5th January. We are over the moon but the reality of actually having a baby hasn’t actually sunk in, despite the ever growing bump!

millsbynight · 12/11/2017 04:38

Welcome @FirsttimemumJan18 and yes to the insomnia... 4.30am and I’m wide awake 😓

OP posts:
katmarie · 12/11/2017 11:43

@FirsttimemumJan18 welcome :) I know exactly what you mean about the insomnia, 4am and I are good friends at the moment! My mum says it’s practice for when the baby comes lol.

ForumUsername · 12/11/2017 14:27

Thanks for the comments
I’m a bit more relaxed about it now, GD seems very manageable and I know I didn’t do anything to get it.
From looking online the diet doesn’t seem too bad, it’s very similar to whet I eat normally but with none of the sweets 😭
It does seem to emphasize not gaining much weight though.
I had a normal BMI before getting pregnant and have been gaining as per recommendations.
Do you think I should be very strict on keeping things low fat or just controlling my sugar levels?

ForumUsername · 12/11/2017 14:30

Also is anyone else struggling with names?!
We’re 30 weeks and still can’t come up with 1.

Ideally we’d like 3 of each so we can see what fits but having none at this stage is getting a little worrying 😂

There are a few each of us kinda like but none we both do.
And none either of us love!

ziggzagg · 12/11/2017 14:37

@ForumUsername I have only gained 2lbs since booking! Mainly due to the Metformin I’m taking seems to help not gaining too much weight. Also probably cutting out cakes, sweets etc. They say not to eat low fat because it tends to be full of sugar to add flavor and the fat helps the body process carbs slower resulting in lower blood sugar readings! HTH!

ziggzagg · 12/11/2017 14:40

Also we have settled on Zakariah. DH is Muslim and I’m Christian so we wanted a nice cultural crossover name. He initially wanted Yusuf which I like but didn’t love iyswim? I also loved Noah, Jacob and Isaac but we only started looking at names once we knew it was a boy haha!

ForumUsername · 12/11/2017 14:59

Thanks @ziggzagg
I have a thing against low fat foods TBH. I think the real thing is always better but in moderation where necessary.
When I meet with the dietitian on Wed I’ll probably be more relaxed.

They are nice names, I really like Jacob and Noah but we already have those in the family

That’s the problem any that we really like either there is one in our family/friend group or one of us remember someone named it that we didn’t like 😂

ElleMcElle · 12/11/2017 15:59

Thanks @Waitingonasmile - I'm not bothered about seeing pictures, it's more to double check on things like position of the baby, placenta praevia, amount of amniotic fluid etc - basically, the third trimester stuff they check for in most other European countries but not on the NHS. Some places seem to recommend a scan at 32 weeks, others a scan at 36 weeks (which is obviously more helpful in terms of fetal lie...) - just wondering if anyone else is booking one, and if so when?

millsbynight · 12/11/2017 16:40

@ForumUsername we can’t decide on a name either!

We’ve narrowed it down to 3:
Emily
Emma
Olivia

I know they’re soooooo boring and plain but we all have plain names (including DS even though he’s not DHs child) so our baby girl would look so out of place if we gave her a unique funky name.

@ziggzagg jealous of your non-existent weight gain 😩 I’m a stone+ over here!! I think I’ve put on 9kg or so though most of that oddly was in the second trimester and I haven’t gained much weight the last 2 weeks. Midwife said not to panic and baby measuring normal for dates.

OP posts:
ziggzagg · 12/11/2017 16:48

@millsbynight To be fair I was very overweight when I fell pregnant!! So couldn’t really afford to put much more on! Staying positive as I will likely be down a few lbs when I’ve given birth! Never happened during my first, im still trying to lose that baby weight and she is 11! Grin

Waitingonasmile · 12/11/2017 17:12

I love Emily @millsbynight ! That was my girl name for both pregnancies ... before finding out we were having boys of course. Maybe third time lucky!

We have no boy names picked. Used up our favourite name with DS.

Gemxo · 12/11/2017 19:18

We've gone with Alfie for our boy, we already have my dss Jack & I think the 2 names go lovely together for brothers Smile I've always loved the name, dp wasn't keen at first (I dreaded this as I new we would then spend months trying to agree on a name!) but one day randomly decided he also loved it! So Alfie it is! 💙

PurplePoppySeed · 12/11/2017 19:33

My DD is Emily but we call her Millie. I like the fact that she can have what I see as a little girls name now but a grown up one later if she wants it!

I'm now trying to work out what will go with it!

millsbynight · 12/11/2017 20:15

Thanks for the feedback on Emily Smile I was worried it was a bit too 90s!

OP posts:
SJ1989 · 12/11/2017 20:35

I'm pretty sure we are settled on Kaitlyn, my step son is George so the two sou s nice together! I've said I'm setting it in stone until we see her though!
