My mood while writing this blog: WORRIED! |
Hi all. I'm a bit worried/concerned at the mo. Went for my 36 week check up yesterday. I have ++ protein and +++glucose in my pee! I am thinking the worst of either Pre-Eclampsia or Gestational Diabetes! ALTHOUGH, 2 weeks ago at my 34 week check, I had a water infection or so the pee stick told me! I was put on a weeks worth of antibiotics and the sample was sent to the hospital to be checked. That sample from 2 weeks ago came back fine? plus, my Diabetes test came back OK at 28 weeks? Surely, it can't just come on this quickly in 2 weeks? AND I have been eating a hell of alot of sugary things lately (like 2 packets of biscuits in 24 hours!) so that may be the cause of my high sugar levels?
To top all that off, Harrison is measuring 39 weeks and I am only 36 so my midwife has booked me in for a scan on monday! Will I be induced? I'm so worried now!!
Any Advice?

Wednesday, 25 Jun How big is he now?
Are they going to induce you soon?
I'm sorry to hear things aren't going as smoothly as planned but thats pregnancy for you honey, pregnancy is really unpredictable! The most important thing is that Harrison gets out safe and sound and thats what the doctors and midwives are going to do. If they induce you, don't worry they have drugs to help with the pain, and you get to see your beautiful boy that much sooner.
Trust me you don't want to push out a 10lb baby. Mine was 9lbs and boy was I down and out for a bit, third degree tears, yeah it sucked.
As for the glucose in your pee, I had that happen once and it is based on diet - things you have eaten that weak. Stay away from sugars and starches as much as possible and just focus on fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains, and your meats too. I know its tempting to eat sugary foods, trust me i'm on a weight loss kick right now and summertime all I want is Slushies and Icecream haha. You will be fine, no matter what so will the baby. We have such advanced medicine these days its not like it was back in the day.
Good luck. smiles4260 -
Monday, 23 Jun Hey Girl! Sorry to hear about your news:-( I don't think it would be diabetes if your other test came back negative! The best thing is to just try and relax and trust the doc's. Plus the baby is at almost full term so if being induced is a must the baby will be fine :) I hope all goes well!!! Try to think positive and keep me updated!!!! sazzle -
Saturday, 21 Jun hi, i think if this was anything to seriously worry about they would have sent you for a scan on the day or yesterday. i'm measuring a week ahead but i think it depends on each midwife as they eem to measure from different places! was your blood pressure ok? I know it's easier said than done but try not to let it worry you too much. Just relax over the weekend and go and buy some nice sugar free treats.... i have a serious sweet tooth at the mlment so i'm eatin sweet fruit like pineapple and also suagr free jelly is great :) -newnaam -
Friday, 20 Jun Hi, Dont worry! If they were too concerned they would tell you. It may just mean you will have to cut out sugar for a while, def not 2 packs of biscuits! If you do have to induced dont worry your 36 weeks now so baby would be fine.
Let me know how you get on.
Im here if u need a chat

Friday, 20 Jun Hi love,
Sorry to hear about that, I can only imagine how you must feel. Don't know why it would be diabetes occurring so late in your pregnancy but know about the dangers of pre eclampsia. I know this is easier said than done but try to calm down and just let things work out themselves. The good thing is that he is ffine and considered full term by next week and from what I hear being induced is not that bad. The bottomline is that pregnancy and birth might not go exactly according to our plans but the most important thing is that we have these healthy babies, so try to stay positive and be ready for whatever..you are ready anyway and stronger than you think you are :) Will be praying for both of you!
Peace and Love xxx
