My profile
My name is Jamie, and I'm due January 31st, 2010 with a little girl. This is my third child, my older two boys are 15 and 9, and a great big handful, but also the best things in my life.
I got pregnant with my oldest when I was 18 and in my first semester of college. I dropped out and lost my job all in the same month, and thought my life was over because the father wanted nothing to do with me, and the only thing that kept me going was the love I felt for my little boy. He's 15 now! And such a young man.
When I got pregnant with my second son(he's 9 now), I was 24 and employed at Famous Barr. Again, not prepared for a child, but in a much better place emotionally. Again, the father was a jerk, he kept in touch but only by phone. He hid me from his girlfriends and said really bad things about me, and to me.
Luckily I was a confident woman and mother by this point, and knew I could do anything I wanted to and didn't need anyone's approval. I discovered I did still need my family and their support. And because of them I was able to move back in with my dad and go to nursing school. I felt like such a loser, but I knew it was a transitional period in my life.
Now I'm an RN in my local ER. I work 12 hour shifts on the night crew. We work 3 days a week. I love my job and I hate my job. I think that's pretty normal. I've been there 7 years now.
This time I got pregnant, again not in a serious relationship, but the tables turned on me. THIS time I got pregnant by the most amazing man I ever met. He made it clear from the day I told him that things were going to be OK, and he's always wanted to be a father. He's been so excited from day ONE! I went through a lot of anxiety because I worried if I could do my job, afford my mortgage, car payment and support my current children while bringing this child into the world. I remember how hard it was to work through my second pregnancy due to SPD and I don't have the option of cutting my hours this time!
But my SPD has been bad this time, and work hasn't been so great. Lots of flu, lots of pain from the SPD, and very little support most nights, and I have depended on coming home to my supportive b/f and falling more and more in love with him every day. He jokes that the only reason we aren't married is because I won't say yes! When people ask us (which blows my mind that they do that!) he always says "Ask her!"
So bottom line work sucks, but my life is better then it's ever been! I feel like I have my family all together now, and all we need is for our little girl to make it complete!

Oh, I think you're doing beautifull! My doctor told me she is not as concerned if my after meal numbers are slightly higher a couple times a week. She wants my 1-hour number to be 140. I've done good, but my fastings started rising... :-(
jane81 - Thursday, 19 November
I'm not gaining anything either (not losing though, thank God). How high are your highs? What about your fastings? Just wondering... I have a doctor's appointment in 2 weeks, but I called my doctor today...

I read your comment in week 29 and on babycenter pregnant with diabetes group (I thought the name sounds familiar!). I'm sorry your reading are high. What are you eating, let's say for lunch? My dr put me on a very low carb diet: 15 carbs for breakfast, 30 for lunch, and 45 for dinner. I only take 30 for dinner, and 15 goes into my snack. But my fastings became high recently. I don't even know WHY. I am so good about eating healthy. I am very upset and scared. I am waiting for a call from my doctor right now.

ok so today I was suppose to ahve my fluid levels checked but the ultrasound lady was out sick so they had my reg 35 week appt and rescheduled my u/s for wed at 4. Dr said my contractions are fine at what they are and if baby comes now he wont stop it! I think he believes im gonna go early but so does all my fam but I dont wanna jinx myself because of course everyone wants to think they are gonna go early. I cant believe I only have 35 days left!

Ok so I had my 34w appt today and I told the nurse I had felt a little leakage but none in a few days she contacted my dr and they sent me to labor and delivery the hooked me up and i was getting contractions every 3-5 min Dr told her not to give me a shot to stop them becasue i was so far along and if i went into labor it would be fine well they sent me to ultra sound and found out my fluids are low so doc ordered bed rest and sunday I have to go in for a non stress test at labor and delivery and than monday i have to go see him for an ultrasound to see if my levels are still low (: Im pretty sure that if they are still low they will keep me there on complete bedrest and if they continue to stay low induce I only say that because my cousins wife had a similiar problem.. we will see

its so sore am glad am not the only one not seen alot of comments on here about it, and due to see a physio therapist aswell and been told about the band i will have to wear its something in pregnancy iv never heard about and is horrible i didnt know it was because your bodys producing so many hormones thats what causes it i thought it was my bump that caused it and am not that big. I spoke to my work and i think am going to go PT rather than stopping and god you work in ER on your feet all day that must kill you!!!!

Diet and exercise are very powerful. My numbers stay below 90 in the morning and below 100 during the day. And think of how great you'll feel when the baby is born. This is a very healthy diet. I've been doing this for almost 15 weeks and they still want to check my baby's development even though my numbers are fabulous. At your next appointment you should ask your OB if you'll be getting another ultrasound to check baby's growth. This week is my OB appointment and then I go every 2 weeks with an ultrasound at the beginning of December and January. Every doctor is different too. It doesn't hurt to ask. =)
