Saw everyone today so thought I’d update!

- scan - showed a healthy partying little boy (he literally never stops moving), but good growth and everything looking as it should.

-obstetrics - are happy with me. Also booked my c section in for end March so now I can plan

-diabetes - happy that my standard d is 2.7, just working on bringing me into the 5/6s rather than 7/8s. Carbs to now be restricted to 120g a day to help with resistance. Really lovely meeting today though with my fav DSN and consultant. Lots of laughing. Makes being pregnant a bit more fun.

- bloods, etc - they’ve taken half my blood so will get results in 2 weeks. Blood pressure 110/60 and my weight is well my weight (averaging 1lb a week gain now which I’ve been told is normal).

That’s it folks... we are on the 10 week countdown! :D

How very exciting! You must be dancing around the room, (well as much as you can being pregnant!) your favourite people and all such good news. The count down begins. 🙂
 
Great news, so happy for you
 
Great result & looking forward to your son's arrival - how exciting 🙂
 
Fab news grainger and glad to hear everything went well 🙂 x
 
Great news Grainger. You have obviously taken great care of yourself. Well done
Laughing with DSN and Consultant is good.
 
Thanks all. It’s definitely a relief to know everything is ok so far. Roll on March (just not too quickly as I really should think about getting organised!)

@trophywench - hope induction goes smoothly for her! Can’t wait to hear the good news, especially as she’s had such a hellish pregnancy.
 
Great to hear Grainger, not long to go now.
 
Thanks grainger - she's doing well now, still on the Cyclizine so from pre-preg weight she's by now gained a whole 4 lbs, and Tiddles is right on the bottom of 'normal' instead of 'So tiny we'll have to pump you full of steroids and get her OUT!!' - so it's a bit of a relief to say the least - but none of us will be all that happy till we know for definite of course.

Thank God you haven't had the same probs, diabetics have enough extra to cope with in pregnancy as it is and I admire every one of you!

Best of luck to your grand daughter for her delivery, I bet she can't wait for this pregnancy to end, sounds like she's had a horrendous time!
 
That's lovely thankyou - but this is grainger's thread, celebrating a bit cos she's getting near the end of HER drudge - not mine! My fault entirely of course.

My mom always said 'Not for nothing do they call it labour!' - but if you ask me, so is the whole 9 months!

Don’t be daft, I want to hear about how she gets on! 🙂
 
We were all out on Wednesday just gone, Grandad's 70th birthday (I was a child bride, obviously LOL) and I'm sitting next to fatty. I went to the loo and when I got back to the table, the ceiling had started to leak from the hotel bedroom above us (the pub's a Listed building and some areas are a bit prone to odds and ends like this LOL) and the manager was came to check if it had been dealt with OK - I missed the initial dripping so the floor was still a bit wet. I said to him I initially thought Sam's waters had broken when I returned! Anyway a bit later Sam got up and 'went' mid meal - yep to chuck up yet again, though she'd taken her tablets before we even had the starters. Doesn't stop her finishing and enjoying the rest of her meal though - it is still absolutely ridiculous.

She's going in to be induced on Monday, so maybe Tuesday or possibly Wednesday ........
