its been really quiet on this forum. so i figured i would get some post started. now that we are in our 3rd tri is there any concerns or worries that anyone has about thier little one or their d day?

my main concern is the results of my 3hr gtt i really hope i dont have gestational diabetes. i have heard lots of complications can happen. i get the results any time today.

ok girls your turn

glucose tolerance test. typically  dr gives you a sugar drink to have gone an hour before appointment and with that my results were a little high so they wanted me to do the 3 hour to make sure i didn't have gestational diabetes. good thing is test came back just fine and i was negative

what is the 3 hr GTT?

This forum has been kinda quiet lately. I must say, I have no concerns. I trust in God to know everything will work out just fine. I have taken the gestational diabetes test about 4 weeks ago and I was diagnose w/gestational diabetes. My doctor indictated that it had nothing to do with the way I am eating, it's because I am carrying two babies. I believe everything will work out just fine for all of us. Take Care!

Only worried about my birth plan not being respected (given there's no complications or problems, of course! In those cases I'm completely fine with going in another direction). I just want to have a voice and not be treated like an ill patient who needs all these unnecessary interventions.

AND I have to take the 3-hour GTT tomorrow. Yay for me. Not!

i have recently found myself worrying that he will come out with some sort of deformity, ie. cleft pallet, etc.   not that it will matter, i just wish i knew before hand.  a friend just had a baby he was in the hospital for a week because there was something wrong with his hand.  stuff like that scares me.  i too am trying to go natural birth, what i am worried about also is all the unneccesary interventions my doula told me about which actually are to benefit or make life easier for the hospitals, or that actually make labor more painful or intense for the mother.  i don't want to be induced or have my water broken, but who knows, if am at it for 30 hours everything is subject to change!!!!!!! lol.  i am also worried that my fear will take over and i will totally lose it while in labor.

nini- my mom said when i was born my cord was wrapped twice around my neck..my face was blue, but everything ended fine!


i guess im not really nervous about anything in particular. just the norm. how everything is going to go. this is my first. my sis just delivered her 2nd baby girl on july 29th. and it was very encouraging to watch. i just want everything to go as smoothly as possible. the only thing that me and my husband are concerned about it when will my water break. he owns his own buisness and the drive is about 45 mins from our house. he is also the only person there. he does everything on his own. so it will be a task to get all customers and cars out of the shop. and the hosp drive is about 45 mins away from our house. so i may have to go to work with him. the nurse at the office i go to is a close friend so she said that my doc would induce me at 38 weeks. so that may be the safest route to go. we will see! Other than that I just cant wait to meet Jamin!

yes it has been alitle quiet. I am so excited to be almost there and I can't wait to meet my little girl. I guess I am afraid that something horrible will happen before she gets here. I have heard many horror stories of woman loosing their baby right before they are born. I am terrified it will happen to me. My main concern is that the cord will get wrapped around her neck ( I know someone that this happened to) I need to stop looking on the internet and seeing this awful situations. I also really would like to have a natural birth and I hope I'm not to dispointed if that doesn't happen.
