Lost track of everyone

[rachelha]

Hello

I think I have lost track of how all the pregnant people are, and when we are all due - I blame it on baby brain. I thought we could have a names, dates, and how we are all doing thread


Rachel - little boy due on 12 Sept.

Currently measuring a couple of weeks ahead of my dates, I hope this has not increased at my appointment tomorrow.

Hi

I'm 29 weeks due on the 18th sept but i was told at my clinic app last week that i'll definitly be induced at 38 weeks so less than 9 weeks eeekkk!! 😱

We don't know what we are having so everybody will just have to wait and see what arrives 😉

My scan last week showed that the baby is growing in the middle of the charts & is around 2 1/2 lb, and everything was "normal" which is a word i always hope to hear!!

My last HbA1C was 5.9 which is the lowest its ever been , i don't think it'll stay that low as i've been having loads of highs for the last 2 weeks & i've already had to increase some of my basal rates by 200%. I'm also now starting to have problems with my pump sites & i'm having to change them every 1-2 days (instead of 3 days)

I've only got 4 more weeks at work (or 18 days it sounds better) then i'm taking 3 weeks holiday before my mat leave starts which i can't wait for!! i'm not enjoying the heat & my office has no air-con last week temperatures were regulary over 35.c!! & thats been making me one very grumpy girl!!

Now we must really start to get ourselves organised & buy things ready for when the baby arrives

I really can't moan too much tho as i've had a good pregnancy so far (i escaped morning sickness etc) just starting to get occassional heartburn & swollen ankles (i think its the heat more than anything)

I hope everybody else is well & coping ok with the heat

Exciting Chrissie! Glad to hear that things have been going well 🙂 Have you got a name yet? Perhaps I can suggest Rapunzel if it's a girl? (One of these days one of you will think it's a good idea! 😉)

Chrissie - I cant believe you have been told when you will be induced already, my lot say I wont know until 36/37 weeks. Why their lack of organisation still suprises me, I don't know.

I am finishing work on 6th August, but am down to 4 days per week from now on. I am not sure if I will cope with this, as I am absolutely exhausted, I may have to go down to 3 days per week. I am waking about every 2 hours during the night, and it is really starting to take its toll on me.

Over 35c in your office is awful. That would make me incredibly grumpy even if I was not pregnant!!

Your hba1c is fantastic, mine has been heading back up slowly. It was 6.8 last time, I will get another result this afternoon, which I am hoping will be a bit lower. My insulin needs have shot up too. I am double all my meal time ratios and over 3 times the old amount of my evening levemir shot. It is a bit scary having such big injections.

I was told on the friday 3 days before that I was going to be induced 😱 which annoyed me so much because all the way through they said that they would tell me a few weeks before. It was the same day they finally realised I had pre eclampsia. I hope you find out sooner than I did rachel, it's really not long left now until your maternity leave 😉 xx
