Re: March Mommies

so far no, but I go to the dr thursday, so maybe then he'll schedule one. (I'm 26 w)

Re: March Mommies

no, not yet. I had a High Risk appointment last week. Our girl is doing perfect. I am measuring perfect as well. Same EDD: March 23rd. I'm 25.5 weeks and getting HUGE now

I go at the 29 weeks or maybe thursday's visit??? not sure???? I am thinking my 29 week visit b/c they do it at 28 weeks. I have had my Glucose tests done in the hospital (each time I stayed). I was diagnosed with GD while int he hospital and early on in my pregnancy (it was over 315), but it could of been the illness, so they were not concered with it.

how are you?

Re: March Mommies

I had it done this morning...I'm in my 26th week. The orange drink wasn't too bad

Re: March Mommies

I am going to lab to have it done this Saturday, my doctor didn't want me to wait until my next visit on the 27th, I will be 29 weeks by then so I guess it would have been too late.

Re: March Mommies

I went about a week and a half ago and passed!!! I don't know why but I was so scared of failing this test. They did call me back and say my iron was too low so now I'm on iron pills too. Could've been worse though!

Re: March Mommies

I did my 1 hour 2 weeks ago I failed by 6 points (whatever that means) then last Thursday I had my 3 hour at a lab it was okay my mom came with me (thanks god its just boring) I passed that! and I even had a bite if a banana at 1:30AM before my 3 hour test which was a t 6AM

Re: March Mommies

I answered on the parenting bored...lol. I have to go for mine in about 2 weeks. I'm not looking foward to it. I'm scared I won't be able to get the drink down.

Re: March Mommies

I went to the lab to have it done on Saturday, but I won't get my results til my dr. appt on the 19th....I hope I passed!!!!

Re: March Mommies

I went about three weeks ago. Passed with flying colors.

It really wasn't that bad!!

Re: March Mommies

Had mine today, wasn't too bad, luckily they gave me the drink to bring home so I didn't wait in the office, just got there in time to have blood drawn. I had the orange drink it was OK.

Aside from that all is OK, had a few contractions this weekend and ended up in L&D, I am 40% effaced and a fingertip dilated, which is not ideal. I was at the Dr yesterday and today, seems everything has calmed down, they are not worried, I have an irratated uterus which they think is due to baby being extremely active. They are now going to monitor me more closely, but told me not to worry, but to take it easy. Ho Hum.

Re: March Mommies

I got the drink at my 24 week appointment and have to drink it for my 28 week appointment. I am nervous!

Re: March Mommies

I'm going sometime next week. I hope I pass it the first time so I dont have to sit there for 3 hours and do it again.

Re: March Mommies

Since I am an early March mommy, I had mine right before Thanksgiving. It wasn't bad. I had the orange drink and they let me take it home. I got it ice -cold (put it in the freezer) and chugged.

Re: March Mommies

I have mine on Thurs. I hope I pass!

Re: March Mommies

Re: March Mommies

I have mine Monday!

Re: March Mommies

I am going on January 4 when I will be 28 weeks. I am going to try to stay away from the abnormally large amounts of sweets that I normally eat that week - LOL!

Re: March Mommies

Had mine 2 weeks ago. No biggie. Orange flat really sweet - like soda. gave me 10 mins to drink it. then I sat there and read and wrote in my jounal. All is fine. I went about noon. Then lab was empty.
