Hello all,

I figured it was time I put something in here about myself.

I grew up in a small town Vermont. I met and married my wonderful, beautiful husband Heath about 2 years ago after dating for 3. When I say he is the man of my dreams I mean it. Heath was the hottie I'd see driving around in his nice Jeep when I was in high school and I'd think to myself - "I loveed to meet that man" and guess what...I did about 7 years later - he was dating my long time boyfriends sister!!! YEAH it's not what ya think. We never actually dated until both of our relationships had dissolved and we all had moved on. We have spent the last 5 years just being in love and enjoying each other and have now decided it is time to share some of that love with a baby!! In order for me to get pregnant I had a lot preparation to do as, I am, a type 2 insulin dependant diabetic, with high blood pressure (both run in my family). After several visit with my doctors (endocrinologist, OBGYN, high risk pregnancy specialist etc.) I was finally ready to try and conceive! It took us nearly a year and boy was it a long year. Just when I thought it was never going to happen for me and after several disappointing pregnancy tests I finally got a positive! I couldn't believe my eyes I thought it was never going to happen. My sister and brother each have two beautiful children. My sister's are like my own - her daughter is actually more like me than her own mother and she is the apple of my eyes. I just wanted soo bad to feel what it was like to have something need and love you soo much. I wanted this baby more than anything in the world and for some reason when I was wasn't getting pregnant I thought I was being punished for something or maybe I just didn't deserve it? But I now know without a doubt that was not the case and it just took that long because that is the way God wanted it to be (I am not very religious just have a lot of faith). SO here I am four months 1 week and 1 day later happily pregnant! I I'm taking three months off this summer after I have the baby to just enjoy and get to know my angel and I can't wait.

I wish you all healthiness, happiness and baby dust!

Hey just read about your losing your plug my mum said that usually you loose your plug about 2 days before you give birth so just be careful. Not the same for everyone but she is like my guide. hope that helps.

Well after sending that to you, I looked into it because it had been what I had heard, you should be fine though, I think it all just depends, they say to avoid so many diffrent foods it can be quite confusing but if they recommended it, it must be fine, sorry about the confusion

baybay21 - Tuesday, 29 April
your not supposed to have honey. babies cant digest that.

Oh yes, I feel him in my ribs constantly. Sometimes I feel like he is right in between my boobs he is so igh up there. But then other times I feel like he is soooo low. And I think the same thing about him having ADHD or something like that. He is constantly active and I know they say the bigger the get the less room they ahve so the less they move, but this guy has no room so he is popping out trying to stretch my stomach and moves more than anything. I am actually having my baby shower this Saturday. I am really excited, but same here, ready to get it over with so I can put everything in the room and have it all set up and notworry about it anymore. We still have a coupel things to do in the room, but I think we are finishing that tonight after the Rockets game. Lord if we miss that, nothing will get done. Glad your appt. went well, can't wait to go back for my next one. Today after work I am going to get a pedi and my nails done so I can look all purdy for the shower. I can't wait. This is basically the only thing I do for myself latley, and I rarely get that done. I think one weekend I am just going to go away by myself and sleep for 2 days. That would be nice. I am soooo tired. Ok, time to go get my coffee and wake up for stupid work!!! Have a lovely day!!!!

kara8385 - Wednesday, 23 April
Yeah I said screw 4 weeks, there was no way! So as I wish I could have taken 12 weeks, I am atleast taking off 7 1/2 weeks. I made my boss move his vacation until I got back. Oh and my little man is so very active. Enough to take my breath away sometimes. He will be rolling and I can't even talk because he pushes on my lungs so hard that the air gets cut off. But at the same time I love it. I hope your appt. goes well today. I had one this morning and everything was great so another 2 weeks and hopefully we do another u/s then. I am really waiting to see how much this baby weighs. I have put on 35lbs, but it is all baby. My b/f was a bigg baby so I am so scared he is going to be like his dad. And after about 2 visits to the doctor where she told me to watch my weight, I did, I ate healthy and walked every night, but now I could just care less. Don't tell me I need to watch my weight, it is not like I have gained 100 lbs. I am soooo ready for him to be here though. Talk to youlater girl!!

you're not the only one hunnie... i work in a small company w/ 3 other ladies in the office, all which have never had a baby of their own!! One in particular is especially insensitive to the fact that i'm friggin tired all the time and i just cannot work as efficiently as I used to. I forget everything and she begs my boss to write me up and hold me accountable... makes me soooo mad!!

The only thing is that my husband hasnt made one of those comments yet, and i pray that he doesnt because i'm going to go off on him and i know it.... He just stares at me when i have my breakdowns and it makes me sooo mad because i'm like, "dont you have anything to say but to stare at me?!!! I'm fat and i feel ugly and tired and huge and uncomfortable and moody and all you can do is friggin stare at me while I cry??!!! I dont need an audience, you know what i mean???

thankfully he has learned that sometimes opening his mouth isnt the best thing, esp when he's not the one that is struggling to turn over on the bed all night and then have to get up after 5 hours to go to hell and be there for another 8 hours.

So no, you're not the only one, and yes, it is normal.... :) but the good thing is that at least we feel our babies moving inside and it feels so wonderful!! It's also so great to think of holding them and loving them when they are born :)

kara8385 - Wednesday, 23 April
I just wanted to let you know you are not the only one out there who feels like crap and hates work right now. I am soooo tired too! Especially of work.! My boss had the nerve to ask me if I would come back after only 4 weeks so he could go on vacation with his family. Oh that pissed me just right off, then our HR lasy who I have been dealing with maternity leave with, asked me why I am using almost 2 weeks vacation before the baby is here and that usually women work up till the day they have the baby, like trying to make me feel bad for taking off work. UMMMM, you have never been pregnant lady, so you ahve no idea what it is like. I want to sleep and rest and enjoy being away from you people. And don't get me started on when I say I am tired, I don't need to hear, it is only gonna get worse after the baby is born. I freaking know that ok, everyone just needs to back the f*ck off. I am so ready to be off work and away from these people. I am so afraid that I won't want to come back though. Haha! I had a doc appt. this morning and was seriously thinking about calling in casue I so didn't want to be there. So no it is normal, we are getting towards the end and getting anxious, extrememly uncomfortable, moody, etc. I love venting, it makes me feel better, so anytime you need to , just let me know. Good luck at work, and remember, try to go to sleep right when you get home, what a joke! They get their full nights sleep, so our men just don't know. Good luck with everything!!!!

Rachel918 - Wednesday, 23 April
Sorry to hear the awful time your are having that sucks. Im only a part time nanny and have an at home business which i do all the time. but i can i have had it and wish i could just stay home and do my own thing and takes naps( i dont sleep either) but its something we cant afford and my husband and i get into fights every nite about money, its something he obsesses about and tries to blame me for us not having what we should have right now. It sucks and people just keep telling me it gets worse too. ALong with that people ask me if i am due anyday.. which makes me want to smack them lol!!!! I feel your pain, if you need to vent im always here to listen! good luck

I have bad allergies especially in the Spring. I was given the OK for Claritin and Zyrtec by my mid-wife.

peanutontheway - Wednesday, 16 April
Thanks for the advice, It's nice to know I'm not the only one ;)

Yeah the bad thing is now I feel guilty, when I shouldn't.

HI --
I saw your question in the diabetes forum about the twice a week tests. From my understanding that is normal for diabetics. I had them twice a week with the first pregnancy and have already been told that I would have them twice a week with the second.
Hope that helps!

Well...I just had a baby 9 months ago so my uterus was really weak from a infection I had when I got pregnant. So the docter doesnt expect me to hold the baby is for another week or two. The baby seems really healthy though. And I will have an altersound here soon the docter said. I had one back at 19 weeks and the ulbulicol cord was in the way. I just hope a miracle will be made and I will hold this baby full term. My hips have been killing me too...sometimes its impossible to walk. Lucky for me I work in a office were all i do is seat all day :) Well hope to hear from u soon!!

I know they say that loosing weight is good for you, but I didn't know it would a person pregnant too! LOL

Were naming him Mitchel! And my daughter is super excited to finally have a sibling.

I just upped my nighttime to 210, I started needing to jump it a lot around 28-29 weeks, and my dr said usually around 34 it will slow down, finially! They took me right off metformin at the beginning of my pregnancy, and put me solely on insulin, I wonder if my insulin would be lower had I stayed on metformin too? Curious! I was only on oral meds until I got pregnant!

My insulin started going up around 28-29 weeks, and my dr said it should peak at about 34-35 weeks. But that it's normal, and if I start needing less insulin suddenly to go to the hospital, it could mean early labor!

My A1C is at 6.2 now, although it was in the 5's earlier on, no one said anything about it being too low...?

No problems recently, earlier on, 1st trimester, I was in the emergency 3 or 4 times, for pain and minor bleeding, wich was scary! I had a UTI and a ruptured cyst, but now the only thing I am worried about is sleeping! Lol, I get less and less all the time!

Extra testing and extra doctors! I see 2 dr's for the baby, one GP in town and one OBgyn out of town who will be doing the delivery. Then my diabetes team, now an ultrasound every couple weeks, and a weekly stress test, and monthly A1C blood tests. I told my hubby if they want any more dr's they might as well just put me in the hospital and they can all come see ME!

My BP has actually been really good, all the dr's are surprised about it, it's perfectly normal. Thank goodness, I don't need something ELSE to worry about at the same time!

I am being allowed to try for a VBAC, since my daughter was born via emergency c-section (she's turning 12 right away!). The problems that caused the first c-section aren't here now, she was 10pd 3oz, and I wasn't diabetic then! I also had placenta previa with her too. This baby's size is being closely monitored, and so far he is right on track, so it looks like I should be avoiding another c-section, well, as long as I go into labor before my due date, and even then they are going to try to induce me before we have a c-section. Here's hoping!!

I don't mind questions, I'm curious too! I keep wondering if what I am doing is normal, and so far, it looks like it! It's tough though, I just keep hoping that since my last pregnancy was soooo easy, and a tough delivery, that this tough pregnancy will mean an easy delivery!

This was a super unexpected pregnancy for us, we've been married almost 8 years, and although we tried early on (well, more like stopped trying not to get pregnant) nothing happened, and then we decided that my daughter was getting older, and we didn't want such a large split in the ages. Well, I lost some weight, and finally started taking my diabetes a little more seriously, and surprise!! Hubby is getting fixed next month, we don't want another surprise in another 12 years! :-)

Congrats on a little boy!! It's exciting! Have you thought of any names yet?

richelle - Sunday, 16 Mar
Hey. I saw we had the same due date and thought we could chat back and fourth. this is my second baby. I have a 9 month old baby girl named Chelsea. Me and my husband is hoping for a girl this time.

At 28 wks my cervix was shortening. That combined with the fact that I had my last baby at 33 weeks, was the reason for my frequent visits. My specialist is doing weekly sonograms now to monitor how big the baby is getting. I had steroid shots for his lungs at 28 weeks also. I had to spend 3 days in the hospital. They did 2 shots, 24 hours in between, had me in the hospital so they could monitor my sugars because the steroids will make your sugars go nuts. I have had a couple of times that my B/P was up, but it wasn't up much at all, it was 142/82. I am planning on a vaginal delivery if at all possible, unless baby has gotten too big, then they will do a c-section. My sugars have been pretty controlled, not perfect, but fairly good, but my endo insists on me faxing sugars anyway.....lol. I know what you mean by out of town drs.....my specialist and my endo are out of town for me too, but only 1 hour! Ask anything! It's great to have someone to talk to and share with!

Randi - Friday, 14 Mar
I am also Type II insuliln depend. diabetic. I am currently 34 weeks. I have a sonogram once a week, along with 2 NSTs a week. I've been doing appts twice a week since week 28, before that, it was one appt every two weeks, with OB and specialist. Also see the endocrinologist once a month and fax my blood sugars to him weekly. I was also over weight at the beginning of the pregnancy. I was working out until my cervix started to shorten and Drs made me stop. I've gained about 30 lbs, but my Drs say not to be concerned about it, they aren't. They say I have done really well, I thought I had gained WAY too much!

momofsoon2be3 - Thursday, 13 Mar
Thank you for your comment! I know 1st hand how hard it is to be a diabetic, but I also know that as long as you do the best you can, and try to eat healthy you will have a perfectly wonderful life. There is alot to read on the internet about negative side effects of diabetes. I believe that you should be aware of them, but not focus on them. Focus on the positive, and try to make life as enjoyable as possible. Congrats on the baby!

mlmmdjm - Tuesday, 11 Mar
I thought it was awesome. I didn't even remember the craving. Maybe next time I should crave a new car or a spa day...lol. There's so much man bashing on that section I try to show others there are good guys out there you just need to find one. By the way how cute is the pic of you and your guy! Congrats on your growing family! I wish you the best of health and happiness.

kara8385 - Thursday, 6 Mar
You are not the only one who has waited 6 months for this sex drive to kick in. I am still waiting too. I feel bad for my b/f, but he understands. I am the same, he is lucky if it is once a week. I try to atleast give him that, but everyday I always tell myself,'Ok, tomorrow.' Then the same thing the next day. I am just never in the mood, I am way too tired. So no you are not left alone in this situation. LOL. :) Maybe it will kick in for us soon before it is suppose to get really uncomfortale. I hope. Good luck!
