lions and tigers and hurdles... oh my!

Hi there- Happy New Year to All Bumpies!!

Here go's....I feel like i am always asking for support... geez. am i such a cry-baby... never was before...

First- i am so thankful every second that my little blueberry girl is doing well. NT scan and genetic testing came back fine and her growth is good and heartbeat strong, level II sono was excellent. I am totally and completely in love with her and wish the spring would just hurry up and get here.

I am feeling exhausted by all the tests. I have been going to get my cervix checked every 2 weeks- since it orginally measured at 2.7. It has since rebounded and was described as "perfect" yippee! I am on major REST though- limited walking and standing, no real movement or sex. Same day i get the news of my "perfect" cervix- i found out i am anemic and failed my one hour glucose test!

So, obviously i have to do the 3 hour test now- start taking iron. None of this seems like that BIG a deal. lots of gals fail the one hour pass the 3 hour and have to take iron suppliments. But, for some reason i cant stop crying and thinking "what if" I know! As pregnant women there are so many WHAT IFs- if we worry about them all day it might never end. and i also know that there are some women who have it much harder than me.

I just feel like its one hurdle after another and all i want is for my daughter to be born safely and healthy. My husband says all these trials and fears will help to make me a better mom. But i am exhausted. it is completely worth it me. but, can some one just give me an extra little pat on the back?

    I am sorry you are having a rough pregnancy just try to keep in mind there is an end to all of this.  It sounds like you are doing everything you can to make sure you and your LO are healthy.  Pregnancy is really hard on our bodies and some times they just don't fully corporate with us.  Just keep in mind that before you know it you will be holding your healthy LO and you will also have your body back.  Good Luck on passing your 3 hour glucose test.

    ((hugs)) I know exactly how you feel.  Then, to top it off, everyone says "Don't stress so much, it's bad for the baby."  I'm so glad things are looking good and T&P for your 3hr. Keep us posted!! GL
