You guys!! Just rang up to find out GTT results.
I don't have it! So surprised.
My numbers came back even lower than my GTT at 28 weeks. (28 weeks, 7.7 cut off is 7.8, and Mondays test was 6.0)
I'm just growing a bloody massive baby. I rang my midwife and asked basically what to do, she said still go to my consultant meeting on Monday (it was meant to be about GD I think) and basically ask what's going to happen, as I'll be 35+1, and I don't want to leave it until like 37 weeks to find out what's happening, I need a plan lol. What tends to happen in U.K. with inductions you just get rang up and told a time and date, and it could literally be the next day. Like no sorry I have child care to sort out, and H can't just leave his restaurant, he needs to let his chef team know what's what.
I'm celebrating by having a nice can of coke that I haven't touched for 3 days now, I loved my daily can of coke (only ever have 1 a day when pregnant)

Yay beefinch! I got woken up at 2:00am by one of my dogs puking. Got it cleaned up, everyone back to bed and same dog sounds like he's hyperventilating. So now it's 2:30 and I'm laying on the floor next to him petting him to see if he'll calm down and start breathing normally. He does so I get back in to bed and find myself laying there wide awake trying to go back to sleep. By 3:30 I put in earplugs to drown out MH's snores (who slept through the whole incident FYI) and finally fell asleep. I'm pulling the pregnancy card and going in to work late.

If I didn't know better, I'd swear I was in early labour. The contractions. The pain. The back pain. I know it's all not real labour, but I can see how people can believe it is and go in. lord. me too! this is my 4th and I have never really experienced BH before this one... like zero signs of labor at all. I was always induced. I have been having contractions and cramping for over a week now. Some times its pretty steady (20-30 seconds every 4 min for an hour). Then other times its stronger but random. I am only 31 weeks so I am just pushing along hoping its all just your normal, uncomfortable pregnancy. Last night was terrible.

Mother Nature's fever has broken! It's so gloriously cool today. I put the baby in her room for a nap, she was out cold (pun intended) in 5 minutes. She also started walking yesterday. Not consistently, but 5 or 6 wobbly steps at a time. I think it's daycare. She's the youngest in the infant room and knowing her she wants to keep up with the other kids.
I haven't slept in like 3 days, minus a few couch naps in the evenings. Pregsomnia is unreal. And my hips are now starting to pop every time I move, so anticipating SPD to rear its ugly head any day now.

Are we just going to have a whole board of October babies, or what? I've been clock watching contractions a bit as well. Mostly trying to make sure I don't have more than 8 in an hour. The only thing keeping me sane is that they typically only last about 15-20 seconds. Today had less contractions than yesterday but still getting a few every hour or so. All November babies stay put for at least a couple more weeks, please and thank you. It'll be like D15 all over again where like half of the board had babies already by the time December actually rolled around. Except I REALLY don't want to be first this time, ok? YOU HEAR THAT BABY??

I don't want to jinx anything but I think the bleeding has stopped for now! I know that doesn't mean anything for baby coming (or not coming) early but at least it never turned red or even pink. I am so glad. My contractions were much less yesterday as well. I think my body was all "Let's have a baby!" and then decided "Nah, maybe we wait a little while." Fingers crossed anyway. I found out there is a pasta dish at my favorite quick pasta place that I can eat as long as I get the small size. Guess what I am having for lunch?!? We'll see how my GD feels about it but it is the right number of carbs so it should be fine. I WANT PASTA. I hope everyone has a lovely day today

DS woke up early because he misplaced his pacifier and refuses to get out of bed to find it himself. Then baby had hiccups and decided to throw a dance party for an hour. So I'm tired. I had a couple painful contractions that woke me up last night so overall it just was not a good night of sleep.
My in laws will be here tomorrow so I'm gonna clean around the house. Yawns. I may put some of the baby stuff together if I have the energy.

I'm feeling grumpy towards my OB's office. When they scheduled my next two week appt, they informed me the schedule was super tight because so many women were due in October. Okay? Way to instill confidence lol. Anyways the literal only time they had open was at the same time as my oldest getting out of school. I scheduled it for now but called back yesterday to change it. She was like well we dont have many providers in that day. Okay what about the rest of the week? I can literally do any day, any time besides 3:20. Nope, nothing. Ugh! Really DNW to pull my child out of school early for this!!

A little extra study or homework time doesn't hurt at all. I am not suggesting that teachers should babysit, I am just saying if they offer tutoring it may be an option... ???

Yesterday I went online to check my appointment time for today and found out that they scheduled my c-section - 8:30am on 11/2! 5 weeks from today and I'll have a new baby! U/S today showed that the baby weighs 5 lbs 12 oz (or maybe 5 lbs 2 oz - I didn't quite pay attention and it's not on the u/s pic like it normally is lol) - 60th percentile - I'll take it.

Guise, guise, guise.
At the OB. We are officially talking induction at 37wks if nothing happens before then. I could actually have a Halloween baby.

Exactly 37w (since we share a DD, I know these things) is DS1's birthday. That's a fun day too And you would definitely be out of the hospital in time for Halloween that way. Just saying...

Congrats on a date! I would think 5'2 would be closer to 60th percentile (but what do I know). I have no real complaints today for our airing of the grievances except that I slept well, but still feel tired and I don't really want to work for another whole month

I don't think they offer that... She's only in Kindergarten. They told me to call back next week and check so I'm hoping something opens up. My appts have literally been taking 5 mins so it just all seems like such a waste to take her out of school for

Every other time I had no indication of labor starting then boom... right on my due date contractions start. This one is so different.

I can do the 29/30, 30/31, or 2/3. DH and I are in deep gchat discussion now. I also made a poll on Parenting because if I can't trust internet strangers to help me with major life choices, who can I trust?

Nothing fits anymore. The only comfortable clothes I own are nightgowns from Target that I can't get away with in public.
I need to muster the energy to wash my hair before taking DD for a cut with my hair stylist this afternoon. Unless I show up looking like a hot mess and she offers to shampoo and massage my head...

I have no real complaints today for our airing of the grievances except that I slept well, but still feel tired and I don't really want to work for another whole month I've got 6 more weeks of work and I'm already regretting not taking more time before. I think I would go stir crazy if I was out for 4 weeks prior to birth but not setting an alarm sounds so nice right now.

Am I the only one whose boobs haven't grown this pregnancy?? I'm not complaining because I'm already...not small...but it's weird. The giant belly makes my boobs look nonexistent, but I haven't had to change bra size.

OB wants me to go see the high risk OB for my next ultrasound, since they are more accurate on placenta placement. I'm still hoping to avoid a CS, but I just want to know either way.
