Re: PG & TTC Check-In 11/21/11
*side note - anybody else notice everyone who KNOWS the sex having a Feb baby is having a girl???
1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains? 27. Hello 3rd trimester! Heartburn has hit me like a truck
2. When is your next appointment? Will anything special happen at that appointment? 30th. Glucose test
3. What are you looking forward to this week? THANKSGIVING, duh!
And kicking off the Christmas season!
4. Monday confession? I fell down on the way in today (take the bus & walk a few blocks to office). It's the 3rd time I've fallen in like 2 weeks. Maybe it's my shoes?
5. I hear everybody fails the 1 hour glucose test--did you fail yours? -jennlin no. not the first time. Just don't eat anything with sugar before.
6. What is the first taboo thing you're going to do once you're not pregnant anymore? -MrsEditorJax What's taboo if you're not pregnant? I guess drinking still since I'll be nursing...so I'll go with I'm gonna drink a bloody mary!

Has anyone had the experience where they kept up with exercise and ate a pretty clean diet, but got GD anyway? -Purvalicious I think that's a common myth. I'm sure being unhealthy doesn't help your chances - just like people who get diabetes due to poor diet. But I know a friend who got it & she's quite healthy & only gained 30lbs during her entire pregnancy.
8. Questions for next week?
Wow! I hadn't noticed that.
i noticed this!!! h and i are hoping girl, but we're pretty sure it's a boy....no idea why, but we're just feelin' boy...but i showed this to him last week, and he said "does that mean we're having a girl?" haha
1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains?
27 weeks. no new aches or pains..but lots and lots of kicks!
2. When is your next appointment? Will anything special happen at that appointment?
GD lab next tuesday, results friday. wish me luck!
3. What are you looking forward to this week?
MEXICO! in two days!
4. Monday confession?
i don't know if it's a "confession" since i've been telling the world, but i CANNOT STAND my new SIL.
6. What is the first taboo thing you're going to do once you're not pregnant anymore? -MrsEditorJax
eat raw oysters!
TTCing Questions
1. What cycle are you on? Waiting to O or 2WW?
Just ended the 2WW following our FET. Beta #1 was 102, waiting to make sure beta #2 doubles before I declare myself officially pregnant. I had some wonky HPT results (negative in the morning, positive in the afternoon) so I'm still nervous. Especially after the last c/p
2. What are you looking forward to this week?
Beta #2 and hopefully some good news
3. Monday confession?
I didn't want to waste money on HPTs this cycle, and I had about a dozen OPKs, so I was taking those every day waiting for it to turn positive (since they will turn positive if your hCG is high enough). Once I got a positive OPK, I went out and bought HPTs. I have peed on a ridiculous number of sticks this month.
4. When do you do your OPK testing? Morming or afternoon? -newmommy74
Afternoon. I never get a positive OPK in the morning. In fact, I can't get a positive HPT in the morning. Even if it is clearly positive the evening before, the next morning, is almost negative again (HPTs and OPKs). It's weird. So now I just test in the afternoon.

@JENNLIN- I feel for you on the SIL issue. Mine has been a pain since day one. I'm sad that it didn't get better and that she and I didn't get to have the relationship I'd always wanted (would love to have had a sister).
Pregnant Questions
1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains? Week 28- nothing new, but the increasing size is getting to me more than I expected.
2. When is your next appointment? Will anything special happen at that appointment? My appointment with my midwife is today and includes the GD test.
3. What are you looking forward to this week? I'm looking forward to a short week (only two days at work!) and to seeing my in-laws when we visit California. We're taking a trip to the Getty and I'm excited about that as well.
4. Monday confession? I am bumping WAY to much at work!
5. I hear everybody fails the 1 hour glucose test--did you fail yours? -jennlin
6. What is the first taboo thing you're going to do once you're not pregnant anymore? -MrsEditorJax Drink lots of wine! Exercise a lot more ( I miss it).
7. With the GD test looming, I'm wondering if there is a correlation between good diet and exercise and avoiding GD or if it?s all based on the placenta. Has anyone had the experience where they kept up with exercise and ate a pretty clean diet, but got GD anyway? -Purvalicious
8. Questions for next week?
I wanted to pipe up again on this question:
7. With the GD test looming, I'm wondering if there is a correlation between good diet and exercise and avoiding GD or if it?s all based on the placenta. Has anyone had the experience where they kept up with exercise and ate a pretty clean diet, but got GD anyway? -Purvalicious
I was supposed to have my appointment today and do my GD test, but I just called my mid-wife and they rescheduled me because I'd had sugar during breakfast (test was not untl 5:00). She said that on the day of the test she wanted me to have NO sugar (not even what comes in a package of oatmeal) because it would make me more likely to fail and have to then go on to do the 3 hour test. So- looks like there are ways to have a more accurate test.
1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains? Week 39.....just bigger than ever!
2. When is your next appointment? Will anything special happen at that appointment? Later this week, just another weekly checkup!
3. What are you looking forward to this week? Short work week, Thanksgiving, maybe a baby??
4. Monday confession? Can't concentrate at work at all, feel useless here and at home, just want to lay on the couch!
5. I hear everybody fails the 1 hour glucose test--did you fail yours? -jennlin Where I go they automatically have you do a 2 hour glucose test b/c so many failed the 1 hour, I passed the 2 hour.
6. What is the first taboo thing you're going to do once you're not pregnant anymore? -MrsEditorJax I'd love to be able to automatically fit into my "old" clothes again but I know that won't happen! So a pint of beer sounds amazing!
7. With the GD test looming, I'm wondering if there is a correlation between good diet and exercise and avoiding GD or if it?s all based on the placenta. Has anyone had the experience where they kept up with exercise and ate a pretty clean diet, but got GD anyway? -Purvalicious I passed but I've heard you can be healthy and still get it so I was nervous!
8. Questions for next week?
1. What week are you in? 25 weeks, 4 days. Any new aches or pains? I'm getting to that point where picking stuff up off the floor is a real PITA.
2. When is your next appointment? Will anything special happen at that appointment? Uhhhh sometime in December? I have to schedule my GD test.
3. What are you looking forward to this week? Ocean Shores getaway with DH this weekend.
4. Monday confession? My classroom is a MESS.

TTCing Questions
4. When do you do your OPK testing? Morming or afternoon? -newmommy74 I always tested in the morning, but the cycle I got pregnant I didn't ever get a positive, so who knows.

We're 28w6d today! Nothing new on the aches/pains front -- just more of the same.

THANKSGIVING.

7. With the GD test looming, I'm wondering if there is a correlation between good diet and exercise and avoiding GD or if it?s all based on the placenta. Has anyone had the experience where they kept up with exercise and ate a pretty clean diet, but got GD anyway? -Purvalicious
Not personally, no. Pregnancy naturally causes some glucose intolerance, though -- your baby needs your sugars to be more bioavailable than usual, so your body suppresses some of the insulin response it normally would have. This effect increases the later you go in pregnancy, so make sure to take your GD test as early as possible. :P

♥ Married since June 2009 ♥
TW: Living children & Losses:
Pregnant after 4 losses via IVF/FET with daughter "Gamma" (EDD Oct 2, 2019)
1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains? I'll be 13 weeks on Friday. I've actually felt pretty good this week, starting to get a bit of energy back and not as sick. Knocking MAJORLY on wood here.
2. When is your next appointment? Will anything special happen at that appointment? Monday! It'll be my first appointment at this office so I'm excited and anxious.
3. What are you looking forward to this week? Thanksgiving and making our big FB & blog announcements soon
4. Monday confession? I have serious pregnancy brain. I made it almost all the way to Costco (about 10 minutes from my house) before I realized I forgot to turn my headlights on and it was most definitely dark. Whoops.
5. I hear everybody fails the 1 hour glucose test--did you fail yours? I did with my second, but not with my first. I passed my 3 hour test with #2 though but I'll be super happy if I never have to take that one again. It was brutal.
6. What is the first taboo thing you're going to do once you're not pregnant anymore? Drink hard alcohol. I break a lot of pregnancy rules ;-)
7. With the GD test looming, I'm wondering if there is a correlation between good diet and exercise and avoiding GD or if it?s all based on the placenta. Has anyone had the experience where they kept up with exercise and ate a pretty clean diet, but got GD anyway? No clue but I definitely admit to not eating well during pregnancy and haven't had GD but a friend of mine who is a super health nut did have it. So I really don't know if it matters of if that was just a weird thing?
8. Questions for next week? Nada
