so, we go to the doctor and today i get to have my 3d along with my glucose test...at 31 weeks. took them long enough right? =P so i get this little cup of red drink, that's right red, and it tastes like hawaiin punch! i actually loved it lol. then they sent me off for my ultrasound. so i get up on the table and she starts and all her vitals are great. her heartbeat is 155bpm and she's lookin good. then the tech goes for the face to start the 3d imaging and and has to go all the way down almost to my leg to get her head at all. she's so low right now!!! i called it earlier. you ladies heard it! anyway, so she's looking at the 3d image and our little stinker has her head facing the side pretty much hiding like a little kid would behind a parent's pant leg. so no cutie face pictures today. so i asked her to confirm for the third time that it's a girl and when she tries to look, up goes her leg and her foot perfectly blocks her underside. she's a stinker!! alright, so no cutie pics for us today. she checks the weight today and based on their (messed up) idea of when i'm due, she should be between 2.5 to 3lbs and she's 3lbs 8oz right now. i'm sensing a hip breaker on the way lol. so i had my blood drawn and i won't know until the offices open back up what my glucose test looked like. i'm so paranoid i'll fail, but i have to try to stay positive! and in 2 weeks we get to try for cutie pics again. yay!! oh yes and i gained 3lbs in 2 weeks lol. i blame the baby =P

You got the good stuff! I had to drink that nasty excuse for orange c___p, twice! I failed my first one but the second was fine. Why did they wait so long? It's supposed to be done at 20 weeks I thought? Sorry you couldnt get any good pics! The ultrasounds can be off by a pound though so I wouldnt worry about her being too big, or maybe she;s bigger? lol j/k. They checked my daughter at 36 weeks and said 6lbs 8oz. She was 5 12 lol.

Aww sorry she wouldnt corporate. Rylie never would either. She had her hand directly in front of her face the entire time. I had my glucose test at 28 weeks, which is when everything i've read says its supposed to be done. I had that yucky orange c___p too. I failed both mine bcuz i had gestational diabetes. That really sucked. Im getting ready for all my appts. today!

MAybe your right newbaby! I dont remember when I had mine done. Maybe 26 weeks? I gotta go back and look at my journal.

The same thing happened to me when I went in at 30 weeks for the 3D ultrasound. You want to talk about low, at 32ish weeks I went to the hospital from a preeclampsia scare, they put the ultrasound thing directly on my wooha (not inside it like that pole thing, she used the same thing that was on my belly!) and you could see Ellie's head. I dunno what she was looking for but I hope I never have to do that again haha. You're lucky you enjoyed your drink, I got the orange stuff and HATED it. It made me feel so sick I thought I was going to throw up my intestines.

amanda19: they still a__sume i'm 3 weeks behind. i mean our little stinker has been measuring big now for 3 months. i think she's coming before they think lol. according to my lmp i'm 31w and according to her size back at 6 weeks she's 28w. i'm the mommy dog gone it i know i'm right lol. **newbaby** yeah, they just did mine a little late cuz they're wrong on my due date lol. **amanda17** well i loved the taste but my stomach was sour for a while after that until i had dinner. made me crave hawaiin punch tho =P **addy** omg i've already started my list! i have this feeling and no one will listen but my mom lol. the doctor even said "yeah i don't think she's going to wait for the due date we're giving you". i would LOVE to get to hold her early, but i want her healthy for sure!!

so i called the doctor's office this morning when they opened and they said the were having equipment problems so i had to call back in the afternoon. those women are just lazy in the lab. but i called back after their lunch time and they told me i didn't have gestational diabetes. i'm so glad cuz i'm not about to go on a diet and i don't go for shots lol. i am, however slightly anemic, so i have to start taking iron pills. you think they would have caught this sooner, but maybe it will help with some energy i seem to be lacking lately lol. and oh yes i forgot to add that i was 9lb9.5oz at birth and my husband was 9lb14oz at birth. i am so in for it... lol!

You're measuring three weeks behind? So was Ellie. She came 3 days late according to my due date, and 2 1/2 weeks early according to what the doctor's told me. Hmm good thing you're starting to pack ;)

 

amanda17 - September 18

Or wait did you mean 3 weeks behind on the test? Haha... Ah I'm dumb :P

 

newbaby2009 - September 18

Ok i think i get it They did your glucose test at what they think is 28 weeks but you think you're 33 weeks?

amanda17: my lmp was 2/11 so that puts me at 31w4d today. but because my trigger shot was on the 29th and i didn't ovulate until the 1st of march at the earliest, that makes me a week behind other women who usually only take 2 weeks to ovulate. the whole "gestational" period includes the period and time before conception. it's confusing i know lol. anyway, from what the tech told me, the baby should measure 3 weeks behind my gestational age always, but the baby has never been more than 2 weeks behind and now she's a day behind my gestational age. meaning she's growing really fast lol. i hope that kinda cleared it up a little. **newbaby** nah by my lmp i'm 31w4d but they go by the size of the baby when she was 6 weeks so they're trying to tell me she's about 3 weeks behind me but she's been consistantly bigger than scheduled. i KNOW i'm 31 weeks lol. no questions there. and i know they're wrong about when she'll come. i can just feel it.
