    I had issues with my last pregnancy. I never had GD but my numbers were always off. I had to take the 1hr at 8 weeks and I passed. Now I have to take it again today (I will be 29 weeks on Friday). Oh and I had a "big baby" and that can sometimes mean with any subsequent pregnancy you have a higher chance of developing GD.
  • @kns1988 Yay! Congratulations!
    @bacorrea I hope it goes well!
    @ChristinaWild I hope it's just for today. I've had plenty of that this pregnancy and it stinks.
  • @kns1988 congrats!!!! Hope things continue to go smoothly!
    @bacorrea good luck! I'll be in your boat 2 hours from today!
  • @baccorrea good luck. I failed my 1 hour yesterday. Looks like i'll be doing the 3 hour

  • *i don't think this requires a trigger warning but you can never be too careful*

    yestersay we had to put our three year old golden retriever down. It came out of nowhere and I am completely shocked and heartbroken. He was a huge part of our family and I couldn't wait to see the relationship that would develop between him and the baby. I know it's still fresh but I'm worried about how this grieving is going to effect me in the coming weeks and if that could negatively effect the pregnancy. I had so looked forward to having him with me in my time off before the baby comes and during my maternity leave. My house feels so lonely without him. Any words of advice from those who have lost a beloved pet would be greatly appreciated! 
  • Amybee5 I'm so sorry about your dog. That's devastating! I've haven't lost a pet but know how heartbroken I would be if we lost our kitty. Try to remember to take care of yourself while grieving. Again so sorry you have to go through this. 
  • @Amybee5 *hugs* i lost a dog i had for 15 years a couple of years ago. It was very painful too. I still miss her but the pain gets number with time. We will be getting a dog probably within a year after the baby is born. I don't have any advice on how it would affect the pregnancy but i think you should let yourself go through those feelings without just trying to stuff them deeper and not feel them. I'm very sorry for your loss.
  • @Amybee5 I'm so sorry you lost your pup. I agree with what @Squirtgun said. I think the pregnancy may amplify what you're feeling, but just let yourself feel it and grieve however you need to, and baby will be fine.

    I spent so much money this weekend. The UPS guy is going to be my BFF throughout the next two weeks. 

    I would really love to by more clothes for this kiddo, but I am waiting for my US tomorrow. DD was 9.9lbs and basically was in 0-3/3months clothes. They knew she was going to be big. For 3rd time moms, were your first two similar in size? 
    @bacorrea mine were opposite size from each other. DS was almost 9lbs and DD was 6lbs. I have no idea what to expect with this one even though she's measuring a week ahead... I'm bringing an newborn size and a 0-3 month size outfit just to cover my bases

  • @Amybee5 I'm so, so sorry. I just lost my beloved dog a couple of weeks ago. To be honest, I can't tell if pregnancy hormones intensified the sadness or if I would've felt it just as much not pregnant. Point is, feel what you feel but try not to dwell or go to a scary place. Talk it out with whomever will listen. Grieving is a process. But don't worry about baby. Just keep taking care of yourself and you'll get through it. Take care.

  • @Amybee5 I am so sorry. Big hugs 
  • @bacorrea DS1 came home weighing 5lbs and was in newborn for a long time then seemed to skip 0-3 months. DS2 came home weighing 7lbs and only lasted 1 week in newborn but seemed to wear 0-3 for about 1.5 months.


    @Amybee5 I am so sorry about your dog.

    @Amybee5 - I'm so sorry to hear about your dog!!  We had to put our beloved puppers down when I was just a few months pregnant with DS, and we were devastated.  Two years later, it still makes me sad to think of her.  And a big part of it was not just missing her, but missing what could have been (how I pictured her with DS and him growing up with a dog).  It's tough stuff, but it definitely does get easier and having the little human to fill your heart (and all of your free time and energy ;)) helps.  
  • @Amybee5 I'm so sorry to hear about your dog. I get tearful every time I think about losing my dog one day and he's only 6. Another vote for "grief won't hurt your baby" and let yourself feel/deal with these emotions. Virtual hugs coming from Indiana 

    @thistlenweeds so much furniture! Sounds fun! Don't know what kind of mattress you're looking into but we bought a Leesa mattress two years ago and LOVE it. It's one of the foam ones that they mail to you shrink wrapped and it's amazing. Basically a poor mans Tempurpedic. 

    TW? Just some thoughts appreciated for my best friend who is 36 Weeks but they're worried the baby isn't growing well/fast enough and are doing a c-section in the morning. They are measuring baby at 4.5ish lbs so pretty small. I'm worried about her! Incidentally she's "throwing" me a shower Saturday so I'm also selfishly a little sad that she won't be there to celebrate with me 
  • @Amybee5 I'm so sorry for your loss
  • @ShadeofGreen816: Big hugs and good vibes for your friend tomorrow! How worried everyone must be, I'm so sorry to hear that.
  • @ShadeofGreen816 thoughts and prayers for your friend!
  • Amybee5, I'm so sorry for your loss. Allow yourself to grieve and talk with whoever you need to. Unexpected things like that are so sad, and all you can do is just feel what you feel and know that it will get better with time. Hugs!

    @ShadeofGreen816, t&ps for your friend and her baby!

  • @hp_momma @WombThereItIs I just ordered my pump! It was way easy (as long as everything continues to go ok). My doc wrote me a RX. I ordered from Pumping Essentials. I filled out the info, and emailed them a picture of my RX. It should be here in 2-3 weeks.
  • @thistlenweeds sounds like you had fun! Love furniture shopping 

    @Amybee5 sorry for your loss 

    @ShadeofGreen816  hope all goes well for your friend. She'll be in my thoughts.

  • @ShadeofGreen816 thanks for the tip! I'll look into it :) I've not had luck with tempurpedic though, because i need a firmer surface to be comfortable. Hope everything goes well for your friend!

    @MrsFox2008 it was a lot of fun but i was super exhausted because it was a lot of big decisions at once! Lol. It's dawning on me that 'we're grownups now'. Funnily enough, getting the previous condo or buying this house or getting pregnant didn't really lead to this realization earlier.
