08-9-2009 - 28 WEEKS & GTT

My mood while writing this blog:
Happy but so feed up of peeing lol

So I'm now 28 weeks pregnant! Wow 12 weeks give or take a few and I will meet my son. It's super exciting!!

So today I went for my 3hr GTT it went ok. Was told no news is good news so if no one cntacts me within a week all is good:) I'm really crap with neddles but it really wasn't as bad as I expected! I had heard a lot about the sweet drink they ask you to drink. I heard so many women say how bad it was and how it was hard to keep down. Well this one was really ok and I managed it just fine? The only downside about the whole text was after the first bloods were taken and I had drunk the drink I felt a little light headed and dizzy and on top of that your not allowed to leave the waiting room:( ( I rally wanted some air ) They say it's to keep an eye on you. God it was a long 2hr wait til the next bloods were taken. I also had my 28 week blood work done to check my iron levels as im on iron pills I'm hoping it's improved as it was a low 9.5 at booking.

Felling pretty good, My leg pain has eased so thats really great ( Thanks all for the advice ) I'm just felling a little big and find it less comfortable as I grow but hay he will be here soon:)

Hope you ladies are well.

Love claire.xxx

me too, I don't find the drink that bad. Almost like Orange Crush...don't know if you guys have it there? Me too I felt dizzy when i did it in the past.. only when I was pregnant though. I've done the test when I wans't pregnant and it came out normal. I probably have to go next week to do it. My last pregnant I was glucose impared, which they assured me was not diabetes.

Yeah, the drink they gave me tasted a bit like Orange Fanta. But after about half of it, I was beginning to think "This is too sweet!" It was good at first, though!

i thought the drink would be gross especially since it was orange & i hate orange drinks. but i actually didn't mind it. just burnt my throat a bit. they actually told me i could leave and go home if i wanted but i decided to stay. it was only the 1 hour tho. it's almost been 3 weeks & they haven't called so i hope that means it's all ok. i'm so excited i'll be 28 weeks tomorrow on my son's 3rd birthday. can't believe he'll be 3 already. and i'll be 7 months. wow. only a few more weeks left for us. glad to hear your leg pain has eased up. my arms are getting less numb or at least less often so that's nice. but it's still happening here & there which sucks but what can i do. anyways good luck with everything. & hope all is well :) & stays well

the drink never bothered me either. i thought it was kind of tasty. with my first pregnancy i failed both tests and had the lemonlime drink, this time i passed the first test and had the orange one so i didn't have to do the 3 hour this time, but i still dont think the drink was too bad. kindof like a flat soda. and i dont even drink soda too often. lol. but i hope you pass. :)

I will keep you in my thoughts over the next week. I always find waiting for test results to be extremely irritating. I am the type of person that wants to know everything now. Hope all turns out well.
