    Been to m.w. and sulking about being told to undergo glucose intolerance test by eating ginger biscuits!

    Appointment not for 4 weeks but I'm completely unreasonable with blood tests and this involves two.

    I've just reached bmi of 30 so that's triggered it even though I measure fine at 28 when I'm 29+5 so doesn't suggest big baby.

    Double sulking as hate all this faff but was pressured into making today's appointment.

    Wish I was at your stage already m.v.- good luck!

    Thanks for all the replies about decorating the nursery. I purchased a moses basket v early on in a pregnancy last year then MC'd. I had to hide the basket initially but it didn't bother me as much as I thought it would. It still feels scary the idea of sorting the room but like most of you have said as I get further along I don't think I would be upto it, then once baby is here I will probably be too busy with a baby and toddler. x

    I am hoping to start sorting the room this week then decide where to put stickers. I am loving all of the nursery photos :) MV your nursery furniture is lovely I would like to paint ours but I don't think the wardrobe could be painted too easily so might look odd!

    Nice to see you back Vic I was wondering where you had disappeared to, did you have a good holiday? xx

    Congratulations Claree and Baleb xx

    Just had a bit of 'show' so think this is it.

    OH on way home and think we'll ring the labour ward when he gets here as pains seem to be around 5-6 mins apart at the moment.

    Yikes!
    Woo hoo excited for you MV :)
    Yay! How exciting MV! Good luck :)

    fluffysox, had a text this morning to say my order is being delivered tomorrow. No mention of what order but i'm not expecting anything else!

    31+4
    Sounds promising :)

    By eating ginger biscuits? We have horrid green juice here (2 cups) after a 14 hour fast I'd much rather have a nice ginger biscuit :( I'm having a second GTT test this week. First one (mainly because my first baby was a whopper) came back normal but since then I've had glucose in urine twice.

    Thanks kscarlet. I expected to have a rest but have come back nackered thanks to an uncomfortable bed! Nice to know I've been missed; there was no Internet or 3G where we were, so I've missed being on here (how sad!)

    How are you? I can't see you on the list anymore :(

    I have my GTT test on Wednesday. I think we get lucozade here lol
