I was 6lb 2 and my DS was 8lb 11 and 3 weeks early so I definitely don't buy into that myth.

Yeh Happy, thats the one :P Even when I have the baby, i`ll still blooming well be there, I have 3 other kids to sort out fgs!! Also, its one of those phrases that just doesnt make sense, they know what the answer is gonna be, of course i`m still here, u can flipping well see me! Can u tell i`m getting stressed?? haha! Theres an old lady that volunteers at the toddler group and every week she taps the bump saying come on out u get, only she isnt light in her tapping!!! U think i could get away with shouting at a 70 odd yr old and blame the hormones????

Glad ur over the pancake incident Happy

My facebook status today reads.... "for Lent would like to give up being pregnant..." lmao! xx

Some people do say very odd things. One of my closest friends asks me every week how many weeks I am now. Honestly, a week since you asked me last time. It is one of those pointless questions when it's blindingly obvious!!!
I wonder if that old lady thinks her coaxing is somehow helping...some people are complete randomers.
I'm liking the fb status. Can't nick it cos I'm still gonna be knocked up at Easter!!! xxx

I would dearly love to give up peeing, especially during night time hours when I'm starting to feel like I need a health and safety assessment due to waddling and imbalance.

Good Afternoon Ladies

Well its official - I also have gestational diabetes (boohoo) - Went to see the dietician today and have got to see a diabetes specialist next week. I dont think I have it as severly as Snoopytweety, as my blood sugar levels are generally within range, just the odd few high ones, so am hoping to manage it with diet only. Hats off to you Snoopytweety!! I can just about cope with diet changes - the thought of medication or insulin scares me!! Was also shocked to hear that 50% of women with gestational diabetes go on to get diabetes later in life, I thought it was alot less than that and am now fretting!!!

I also had a growth scan on Monday - Babys abdominal size was measuring on 97th centile and weighing about 4.6lb (am only 31weeks), and if it is still large at my next scan in 3 weeks, then I may be having a caesarian due to previous shoulder dystocia with my first baby (9lb 12oz) - second baby was smaller and delivered normally (8lb 14oz) however I am convinced this one is bigger. Still not sure how I feel about potential caesarian, one the one hand a caesarian is a big op and recovery will be alot harder, but on the other hand, i am worried that if growth scan is wrong and baby is big, if it gets stuck again, god knows what might happen. To be honest the thought of being cut and having intervention such a vontouse or forceps seems scarier than having a planned caesarian.

I am also wondering whether the diabetes will affect my consulants decision about whether to have a c-sect or not!

Sorry for the rambling ladies, just so much going round in my head, and no one to discuss it with!!

I've been lucky with needing to wee in the night as I very rarely have to get up to go, maybe that's why most mornings I cough and wee myself!! I shouldn't let it build up!!
