It's so nice to get a doctor that is chilled and relaxed
Just the Glucose Tolerance Test to get passed now and hopefully I'll be hospital free for a while....sorry for my tantrum yesterday
I think we're allowed our little tantrums... Glad you got out of it well enough then. I didn't ask about gender. I just wasn't sure I wanted to know... And I'd prefer to wait than be sorry I asked - though why I'd be sorry, I don't know. Though I did have a sneak peek myself and it might (serious emphasis on the might) be a boy. I'm not even mentioning that to himself cos it was on the side profile and I could have just been seeing shadows... :rolleyes:
And hi beanser! I think I lurked for until about week 18-19 myself!
And now I can't stop!:eek: 0 -

I had this aswell and i was so annoyed with myself.. but i only had 1 spike after taking the yuck drink so i was clear ish . .so they called it diet related and i had to cut back on the dairy and watch my sugar intake. . fruit too.. i've had no issues before or since and hopefully it'll stay that way cos of the 4 pregnancies this was the easiest. .
Hoepfully it'll be ok. .;)
Is that one spike after the first test, or one spike after the second test (the one where they keep you for 3 hours?) I'm just wondering if it was a little blip the other day and they might just pat me on the head and send me on my way
Haahaa Nicowa, god only knows what you saw Were you waiting long to be seen?
Sorry Eoineo never been to a coagulation clinic...hope everything goes okay xxx0 -

Oh Jesus that's hilarious. Sorry about the loss of you twin. It seems men always think they can understand an ultra sound perfectly where as women are just searching for something barely recognisable on the screen. My other half decided to tell a few people when I was in labour that he was also sure it was a boy as he could see it as clear as day on the screen but I couldn't. At least he was as shocked as me when a girl arrived out!!0 -

That's the second time I've heard that lately.
I was waiting about half an hour from the time of the appointment - I was in about 10 mins early. And while it only took 20 mins I pretty much saw everything I wanted to see. And while I appreciate everything being pointed out I wasn't really inspired by "here's the stomach and here's the kidneys..." Though it was really cool to see the heartbeat and the coloured bloodflow. And while we were watching that baby gave a big kick and you should have seen the little flare up on the heartbeat! That was pretty cool.
Hope all goes well Eoineo!0 -

No it was one spike on the 3 hour test. . first was 5 then 11.something and then back down to 5.7 and then 5 again.. if the 3rd one spiked i would have been diabetic. . and i would have howled. . :rolleyes:
nearly finished my marathon week. . just 2 days left til i have a day off. . and then i can get to grips with the housework although i left my 12 year old home today and i came home to a hoovered polished house and a clean kitchen. . as good a job as i'd do .. i nearly cried i was so happy. . . of course it's just buttering me up so she can get out to the junior disco next week. .. but i don't mind my house is CLEAN :D:D 0 -
8 weeks today and I finally got round to going to the doctors this week, everything checked out fine.:)
Made my hospital appointment, it's the end of September.
I'm having a private early scan next week though for 2 reasons, 1) I can't wait another 6 weeks to see my baba and 2) OH is dying to tell his sister who lives aboad but is over visiting at the moment, she is due to go home next Friday and he wants to tell her before she goes home, I would like to get the ok from a scan though before I tell anyone

Jees are there any other discos or things you can dangle in front of her like a carrot before baby comes? Or maybe save them till after baby arrives
Thanks for that about the glucose...will find out on monday I guess...I'm more intrigued about how I'm gonna last with no food 0 -

congrats on your pregnancy.. its so exciting... I wanted the same thing. my husband wanted to tell his sister ASAP but i felt better waiting till i seen it on the scan. Where you able to hear the heartbeat at the doctor. I heard the heartbeat at the midwife around nine weeks, its amazing and i think it is as good as a scan at putting my mind at easy. I am nearly 19weeks now and still havent felt the baby movement but i had a scan on tuesday and everything seems fine. my husband keeps saying its how the baby is too well padded with my tummy.
hope all goes well with your scan
Thanks Setlikejelly. No I didn't get to hear the heartbeat unfourtunately. I think seeing the scan next week will give me some peace of mind, at least for a little while
I can't wait to get to your stage and start anticipating feeling some movement 0 -

Oh dear god the tiredness. . . but the week is over and next week i get a day and a half off :eek: i'll be glad when the schools are back. 34+3 today and baba is just going mental all day. . . i think i have a riverdancer. . he seems to like headbutting my bladder . . a lot . . and punching my appendix and climbing my ribs. . but other than that he's fine.. :rolleyes:
Was at the GP yesterday and she rolled her eyes when she asked was i finishing work at least a week before my due date .. :pac: i told her i would if i was allowed to paint at least 4 rooms at home otherwise i was as well off at work... i'd probably do less have intentions of just going til i can't.. and i'm back in after 6 weeks. . that'll be for a rest too :rolleyes:;) 0 -

Hi girls,
Don't post much but my two kids (son 3 & daughter 14 months) have been taken off me for a day and night and don't know what to do with myself. Husband hoovered and washed floors yesterday so the major house work is done. What did I do before I had children?????
8 weeks to go..................... I should be enjoying the pease and quiet but I'm actually a bit bored. I suppose this is where wine came in previously......... I probably should be packing going away for a few days tomorrow but oh the effort..............
