MSE Pregnancy Club 17

Am I allowed to stuff my face with double chocolate gateaux just because I am doing the glucose tolerance test from Sunday night? I'm feeling really greedy, just in case they find something wrong and I can't have chocolate anymore :rotfl::eek:

Is the glucose drink really disgusting? Any tips on drinking it?

Why do 'heavier' (how pc! I would say lardy, but I am nicely pregnant atm thank you very much) mothers need a scan at 32 weeks?

I don't think they do that in my area - at least no one has mentioned it to me (and my BMI is 30+). Would be kind of interested to hear anything on it though.

oh and as for monitors, I'll be using one. I live in an L shaped flat with the bedrooms at the far end from the living space and doors which shut themselves. I can't hear the door buzzer when it goes off so i'm sure without a monitor, I'd spend my whole life pacing the hallway!

Yes of course you are!! I am about to eat the whole batch of cookies if it makes you feel any better!?! (ETA well maybe not the whole batch but certainly a few!!)

Not had the test but apparently tastes a lot like lucozade (or a cheaper version of)

Just got the cookies out of the oven and having a warm one with a glass of choc milk :drool: Thanks again Som!!! :A These are fab!

However, when I made it I didn't have bacon so just used a couple of slices of ham, cut up into pieces, and I didn't use mustard cos I don't really like it!

And it was amazing with a thick smear of real butter while it was still warm!

Ahem , we're talking bmi past 35 :whistle:. But only just :A

The consultant (which I had to see because of the bmi) said at the time of booking that my baby might be too large, so they have to have a look. But I only weighed 5lbs more than during previous pregnancy, when I was 'normal' apparently, so can't share in their panic. After all Joseph came out two weeks late and only 8lb1, so not exactly giant. Having seen my scrawny son, the consultant had the cheek to ask if it was the same father :eek::mad::rotfl:.

I don't think I like lucozade, roll on monday morning... bleurgh.
