Hugs! Gestational diabetes is not the worst thing to have if you have it, at least it is being monitored. You are a great mummy to your baby already, giving it a safe home.Just back from my GP.. She said the stiff knuckle thing is NOT normal but until I've had the baby and all the fluid clears we won't know for sure if it's pregnancy related.. She said we can't rule out Arthritis :eek: Can you imagine, trying to look after a little baby with arthritic hands
So, swollen fingers crossed it goes away!!!!
There's also sugar in my urine so I'll have to tell them at my next Hospital visit as I could be developing gestational diabetes I'm back in there in 2 weeks time.. My partner's Father is a diabetic so I'm going to ask him to check my blood sugar in the meantime..0 -

I was told I have IGT (impaired glucose tolerance) after I had my glucose test at 28 weeks! So I am borderline diabetes! Had a second GTT at 30 weeks and it came back clear so still have IGT! As Cathy said it's not the worst and you will be monitored! Just means you could have a big baby! Just need to watch what you are eating, easier said than done for a pregnant lady!! Im eating everything and anything around me! You never know, you could do the GTT and everything could come back clear!
Was at the doc yesterday for my 38 week check up and have to go back next tuesday when I'll be 39 weeks and they are gonna give me a date to induce me! They aren't gonna let me go over the 40 weeks because of the IGT! Was kinda upset when they said they wanted to induce me because I wanted nature to take its course, but if its the safest for baby then Im all for it!0 -
i am 20 wks and i really should not complain, i am still in my jeans, but i was a size 16/18 to start with and have lost 5/6kg since i got pg. bought myslef maternity jeans at the start and they are miles too big.
Just have a huge tummy and huge chest.
Have a stinker of a head cold this week so miserable
Pleanty of rest and tlc - after all you both need and deserve it!My hip is much better now thanks:)
Apparently the ligaments loosen when we are pregnant and can be easier to damage.
I am 24 weeks:)) and have a lovely bump.
Finally not having to get up laods of times at night to pee:))
\o/
Glad to hear you have got over the hip problem. Carry a baby on that would not be pleasent...:rolleyes:hey everyone!
Im 9 weeks gone on my first pregnancy and im soooo glad to have discovered your little community! as its only immediate family that know our news i think they're already getting fed up of my moaning:D
so here goes.....I have never been as sick in all my life as i have in these last 3 weeks, as i write im laughing thinking of some of the places i've had to puke in, obviously not funny at the time but sure you either laugh or cry bout it right??!!
I have survived the last few weeks on mugs of tea, rich tea biscuits, cup a soups and the odd yoghurt....bland and boring:( poor hubby has had to fend for himself as the sight of food is enough to make me weak at the knees, and not in a good way! im sleeping day and night, and its never enough but according to you girls its soon gonna pass soon and i cannot wait:)
feels like a weight off my shoulders, thanks for listening:D
Welcome melsbels. Your right about this community - When i found it first i thought it was such a god send - It's great to read about other peoples experiences and how they are coping. It's a huge help. This is my first pregnancy and it's freaking me out - in a good way - but knowing that eating a certain way, sleeping too much etc etc is all part of the journey!
xzanti; - sorry to hear that. Hopefull tthe sugar will regulate itself -It's not easy to be a woman. I remember my Mum telling my sister that pregnancy means saying goodbye to all remaining shreds of dignity and modesty.
It's mortifying when you think about it - so i dont think about it!!! I have already warned DH that he is to be at head height at all times during the labour (6.5 months away yet!!) Any drifting below the waist will end up in a wallop from me
. I don't think i need to worry though - he's extremely squeamish when it comes to all things girly 0 -

My brain has deteriorated into a pile of mush.. I keep losing things and forgetting stuff
Got my Maternity Leave forms all filled in and signed off the the Doctor after a 90 minute wait the other night, went off this morning with the intention of getting them completed in my Head Office.. Got to work to realise I'd walked off without them so I swung by the house on my way out there this evening.. NO SIGN of them anywhere can't for the life of me remember what I did with them or even where I had them last.. So frustrating..
Now I have to go back to the Doctor and queu up again to see her.. I thought I could print off a new copy from the net and just get someone in HR to sign that sheet, then 'mix and match' if or when I found the originals.. but apparently my HR Manager is the last port of call and she can't fill anything in without the Doctor's part completed.. :mad:
So long story short.. I've been running around all day like a headless chicken, for nothing.. Grrrrrrrr !!!0 -

Ok so I think I've figured out what's going on with my skin..
After being quoted €200 over the phone to see a Dermatologist in Dublin, I decided to just google my symptoms.. after a little digging I found it.. I believe I have what is called 'Perioral Dermatitis' sounds lovely doesn't it
It's not pregnancy related but the treatment of it (Tetracycline) is a no no while I'm preggers cause it can damage the baba's little teeth so I guess I'll have to grin and bare it until I'm baby and breastfeeding free..
In the meantime I'll have to change my skin cleansing routine and cut out certain creams that I've been using to treat the condition, cause apparently this could be making it worse Oh dear!! 0 -

Anyone experiencing dry nipples? It has started with me past few days and getting a little itchy too. Do i just put bio oil on here too while putting on the bump? Is it normal at all?
I've been using sweet almond oil on the bump and the boobies since the bump started to appear and I have to say it's great.. I wouldn't bother with Bio Oil it's way to expensive.. The almond oil is about 7.50 in Holland and Barrett and it's a big bottle.. I'm only planning to use Bio Oil if I do get stretch marks, to try and fade them, but as yet I have none
As for the dry nips, I haven't experienced any dryness but they do get itchy.. They probably would be dry if I wasn't 'oiling them up' twice a day

I need a moan so bad as my hubby( who im not sure if i even like anymore:D) has developed selective hearing!
I know its not as bad as other womens problems, but this sickness is making me crazy. I was accepting my diet was tea, biscuits and yoghurts, low and behold i got up yst and discovered i now cant even keep them down and now im living on lucozade and ovaltine. im friggin starving just nuttin will stay down, and if one more 'do gooder' tells me to try sumtin light on my tummy like toast i'll slap them, do ya not think i've tried that
i've just had enough of it, im crying all the time now, i've taking to praying out loud that it'll only be two more weeks but what if it doesn't go....oh lord don't even think of that just on day at a time:rolleyes:
ok on a positive note tho, my bathroom is immaculate!!!!!! one of the good things bout spending so much of my day in there, i've very little sense of smell left but im told our local swimming pool doesn't use as much disenfectant:D:D0 -

melsbells, i was at the baby fair today and bought some lillipops, i tried 2 at the show and they got rid of my acid straight away, and it makes me too nauseous to eat some days. might be worth giving them a try, apparently you can get them in pharmacies.
HTH
I bought a pack of these yesterday tasted so nice at the show even better when my sickness kicked in starts from 4 till bed time was able to even eat some dinner last night first time in 2 weeks!! 0 -
