Oh wow Pips that is quite the story!! I have gestational diabetes too and that scared the poop out of me!! Congrats on your beautiful little girl. I'm glad you are home safe now.
Morning everyone. My, time does really fly when you are pg!! I only have 10 weeks left and DH and I start our birthing classes on the 15th. Cutting it a little close I know, but it was due to his schedule. As of next week I start going in for weekly u/s to check growth of baby girl and keep an eye on her activity level.
Tausha - I know the feeling of waiting to buy stuff. I had a great shower but got mostly clothes and then they all pooled together for a stroller/car seat combo!!!! SO SO cool!! I am so excited about it. I'm supposed to have another shower from DH's side of the family, but have no idea when it is? But we are kinda waiting till after that to really buy anything . . .
Pips sounds like you had an eventful birth!!! Glad everything turned out good.
Bridgette- it's killing me not to shop my shower is dec 4th but luckily DH's best friend purchased our travel system online... He is in Kuwait working and had it sent to the house. So I'm ok now that I have all of the big items. I have a pack and play that was given to me but I registered for the small one for our room until I move him into his room. My dad got us the monitor so all the major stuff is taken care of it's just small things left..so I'm not stressing to much just mire so excited to get the room done :)
barn ... just watch your sugar and you should be fine. My OB did do a hgb A1C ... which gives you your average sugar over the last 60 days. Mine was actually normal, and the doc said Chloe's sugar levels were not a result of anything I did. The neonatalogist felt that due to the stress at birth, she dumped all her sugar and didn't have any reserves left and that's why she bottomed out. You just never know what's going to happen I guess. At least it wasn't something that would have any long term affects on her. She was the healthiest thing in the NICU ... still hard to have her there though!
Hi ladies, sorry I've been MIA - long story but first CONGRATS Pips :D your beautiful baby girl is here and I love the name Chloe - scarey first 24 hours for you though hunny but so glad all is well and she is home safe and well.
Wannababy - awww a little boy, it's so nice to know in advance (I know not everyone wants to) and you can have names, clothes etc all ready. They are always reluctant here to tell you :(
Anxiously - we wouldn't be normal if we didn't worry, even when it's a first, second ... pregnancy and you've never had a loss you still worry, lol. You must be getting so excited now.
Bam - 10weeks! Oh wow, still doesn't seem 5 minutes ago that you gave us all the news of your bfp :)
Well things are up in the air for me, I had to go to hospital last Mon with a suspected ectopic pregnancy. Luckily the USS showed a single uterine pregnancy with a heartbeat and I was measuring smack on for dates. On the downside they also found a large mass in my abdomen and I was kept in and further tests conducted. The mass is a 28cm by 15cm pancreatic cyst which is currently taking up an awful lot of room. The gynae man said there was no room for my uterus to expand. I am now playing the awful waiting game to be seen by another specialist, an urgent referral was made but this can be up to a 2 week wait. I've no idea yet what type of cyst it is so don't know whether it will be a simple drainage procedure or something more. I spent most of last week in shock and then floods of tears but I've kind of levelled out now. Just wish this appointment would hurry up, the closer I get to 12 weeks the more risk to the baby from the cyst and I shall be 8 weeks this Friday.
I hope everyone else is well and blooming :D
Helen
I love this! Hope all you preggers are feel great!! Congrats to all the new mommies!!!
Braxton hicks anyone??? I am thinking I am having them... Not painful but tummy definately has been getting tight this whole week....everything I read said to drink water, so that's what I have been doing. Anyone have any other thought or ideas?
