Oh wow, huge congratulations Wizzi and Grumpel!! That's fantastic news! Seconding Hedgehog's request for newborn pics and accounts of births when if you have time please!! You must both be over the moon and I hope you are all doing well.
Sammy how are you? Hope you and the twins are doing well.
Blueroses I am so pleased you have been reassured by the consultant. The last thing you need is more stress. Glad everything was ok at EPU too, though a visual scan doesnt sound like a whole lot of fun!!
Blondes Gad your scan went well, and thats good news that they're saying there's no dvt in your leg? How is it now? Any better?
Rosebud Thank you very much, it is quite a relief and I'm feeling much more positive now. As the others have said, I wouldnt worry too much about movements. They dont expect them to be regular just yet, and you may well come to realise that things you've assumed are wind/cramps etc actually turn out to be first movements. Of course, its always worth double checking with your midwife if you're worried in my opinion.
Ghengis Morning sickness while moving does not sound like a barrel of laughs! I hope the move goes well.
Hedgehog I have officially 8 weeks left til due date, but have now been told multiple times to expect 'things' to happen around 38 weeks - in six weeks time. I am still unsure of what 'things' are as I have yet to see the consultant so no idea if the plan is to induce or c-section. I bet it was fab to hear baby on the doppler! Did they let you record it? DH wasn't able to come with me the first time they did it so they said I could record it on my phone, and I went through a short phase of listening to it at every opportunity. I've no advice on the anti-depressants I'm afraid, but its lovely that you're being allowed extra growth scans to ease anxiety :-)
Friends Sorry to hear I was right about the iron tablets haha! Will you be on them til the end now? Glad your scan went well, and great to hear everything is progressing well with baby Friends. Hopefully he'll hang on in there as long as possible now! You are doing brilliantly!
Chocolate Glad to hear your anomaly scan went well. Good luck with the GTT! I'm sure you'll be fine! :-)
AFM, all looking ok here. Had my insulin upped slightly yesterday to try and bring my morning blood glucose readings down, but the nurse seems confident that this will do the trick for the moment, as I no longer have to phone her every few days and only need to phone her if I have a few high readings in a row. Had my normal midwfe appointment yesterday, and had to tell her all about the GD diagnosis. She measured my bump and it was quite a bit bigger than it should be (no suprise there) but she wasnt worried, and baby's heartbeat/my blood pressure etc were all completely fine. She did say baby's head is engaged already but said this was nothng to worry about, and a quick google tells me that that doesnt really mean anything at this point. Next appointment is a week today and thats to see, among others, the consultant (who has been on holiday since I had my diagnosis) so I assume I shall find out more about what to expect next then. On a side note, I've had an email from mamas and papas telling me our pram/car seat/pushchair travel system thingy will be arriving two weeks today and I find this quite exciting!!
Hope everyone else is doing ok, and big waves to anyone I've missed!!
