I'm going to ask them to take extra blood to test my iron levels while I'm there 'cos I'm veggie. HTH

Oh, I'm veggie too. 17 years and I've never really missed meat, until I got pregnant that is... I've had the odd notion for beefburgers and chicken, no idea why. Not giving in though!

Midwife was quite shocked that my blood count was good at 128, esp as I occasionally have absorption issues. In fact, she was surprised at how healthy I was generally, apart from my back and pelvis that is. :rotfl:

I'm assuming that GTT is the same as the Fasting Glucose test I had a few weeks back?

I had some blood taken, was then given a bottle of lucozade to drink, had to wait 2 hours and then they took more blood. I was told that if my blood sugar levels were dodgy, they would let me know within 24 hours. I never did so presume all was ok.

So I'm onto the home strait now...Friday is my last day and then its MATERNITY LEAVE TIME!! :T:j

I am so ready to go now. Got a list of things I want to do for the next few weeks, and just looking forward to nothaving to haul my ar5e on this silly commute I do!

Makes the whole thing seem VERY real too...:eek::D
